Motorola announces a partnership with GrapheneOS

Alas that in the US it is seemingly impossible to get unlocked bootloaders now. I'm trying to figure out what couple-year-old international phone to buy now.

Good on Motorola. Incredibly smart to tap these passionate geniuses.

This is good. Having an alternative to Pixel-Phones for GOS makes sense. I wonder if we will have the option to buy a Motorola phone with GOS out of the box (not sure if i would trust that, but it might be interesting for some people that are skeptical of installing it on their Pixel by themselves).

I can find no evidence of this. Please do not post falsehoods.

GrapheneOS is finally decoupling itself from Google Pixel phones. This is great news. Motorola makes great hardware too. Looking forward to see what comes out of this.

Hope they make this partnership work out. Probably a 50-50 partnership.
