Motorola Plans GrapheneOS-Compatible Devices as Early as 2027

"Motorola is introducing a new era of smartphone security through a long‑term partnership with the GrapheneOS Foundation, the leading nonprofit in advanced mobile security and creators of a hardened, operating system based on the Android Open Source Project. Together, Motorola and the GrapheneOS Foundation will work to strengthen smartphone security and collaborate on future devices engineered with GrapheneOS compatibility."

"GrapheneOS has only supported Pixel devices until now, citing strict security and update standards. That exclusivity helped build a loyal following among privacy-focused users. Motorola's announcement changes that dynamic, marking the first time GrapheneOS will officially expand beyond its long-standing exclusivity on Google Pixel devices."

"The partnership is not limited to a single phone. Motorola will also bring certain features/concepts from GrapheneOS to its broader Android experience. This suggests that even customers who do not choose a GrapheneOS edition phone could still see tighter security controls in future Motorola software builds."

Motorola announced a long-term partnership with the GrapheneOS Foundation to bring the privacy-focused Android alternative to future Motorola devices. GrapheneOS previously maintained exclusivity on Google Pixel devices due to strict security and hardware requirements. The partnership will expand GrapheneOS compatibility to Motorola smartphones, with compatible devices potentially arriving in 2027. Current Motorola flagships do not yet meet GrapheneOS's hardware standards. Beyond full GrapheneOS devices, Motorola will integrate certain GrapheneOS features and security concepts into its broader Android experience, benefiting all users regardless of whether they choose a dedicated GrapheneOS edition.
