Overview
- GrapheneOS confirmed in a Mastodon thread on Monday that its first officially supported Motorola devices will be the company’s 2027 non‑folding flagship phones.
- The project said Motorola will do a large portion of the porting work and that supported Motorola models will receive seven years of OS updates.
- GrapheneOS plans to add support later for Motorola’s Razr Fold and Razr Ultra foldables and for 11th‑generation Pixel devices.
- Current Motorola Signature and Razr models fall short because they lack mature hardware memory tagging (MTE) and secure element integration, requirements GrapheneOS says will be met by 2027 flagship Snapdragon chips.
- The immediate effect is that GrapheneOS support will be limited to high‑end Snapdragon flagship hardware at launch, which could mean higher prices for users but wider OEM cooperation and longer update windows in the long run.
