An internal Motorola presentation leak appears to confirm a GrapheneOS partnership for non-Pixel hardware, with an official announcement likely at MWC 2026.
Tbh, not a huge fan of the pick. I had various Motorola Droid phones for years before switching to Samsung. All of the Droids were horribly underpowered after 2 years and the batteries only had 1/2 of their original capacity by that point. Then I got a Samsung S10e and it lasted 5+ years.
I seriously hope Motorola has gotten rid of their planned obsolescence policy in the past few years. It’s nice that there’s going to be a second vendor option for GrapheneOS soon, but I wish it was a better vendor
what would you consider a better vendor? samsung, xiaomi, oneplus? those all have been plenting more and more malware into their phones from the factory, sometimes making it seem like a feature, and recently they started to bar owners from replacing the OS on it by taking away the option to unlock the bootloader

hmd global / nokia might have been a good option
