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.
Graphene has always had stringent security standards when it comes to hardware. The organization said that this year’s Motorola Signature and Razr handsets are “very close to meeting our requirements,” but lack mature support for hardware memory tagging and secure element integration. The organization expects the next generation of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chips to meet its standards, which is why it’s targeting Motorola’s 2027 phones for initial support.
