De-Googled GrapheneOS is coming to Motorola’s foldables next year
The GrapheneOS Foundation has announced plans to expand its privacy-focused Android operating system to Motorola devices, including foldable models, starting in 2027. The move aims to leverage upcoming high-end hardware to meet the project's stringent security requirements.
Why it matters
This expansion marks a significant shift for GrapheneOS, which has historically been exclusive to Google Pixel devices, potentially offering a new secure alternative for mobile users.
GrapheneOS, an open source version of Android that prioritizes security and privacy, has detailed its plans for supporting Motorola smartphones. Official support is set to arrive next year, starting with traditional flagships, before rolling out to Motorola’s foldable phones and perhaps cheaper models, eventually.
In a Mastodon thread, the GrapheneOS Foundation announced that it will initially support a Motorola slab flagship phone, but will later support both Razr Fold and Razr Ultra foldables — the latter of which would be the first flip phone to officially run GrapheneOS.
