Also this is great unless Motorola is comprimised.
Motorola is doing a large portion of the work of porting GrapheneOS to their devices. They'll provide us with what we need for firmware/drivers in the form we need it and it will be far easier than Pixels. We'll be able to get issues in the firmware and drivers fixed through Motorola and Qualcomm.
Not sure they've ever done anything like this, so time will tell.
I do know Motorola seems to not care much about software - they were still shipping 32 bit until embarrassingly recently, and are known for rarely updating their devices. From that lens, this could be a rather symbiotic relationship if it proves it can sell.
This is a relief to hear.

Looking forward to it. I will buy it right away.
This is great, I'll hopefully get one as my next phone when my Pixel 7 Pro dies.
Good. Would rather have a strong basic phone without flaky gimmicks.
I'm fairly ignorant as to whether Motorola, as a company, will make a good steward for this kind of arrangement.
Does anybody have any inside baseball to share in terms of whether we can trust this arrangement to last longer than, say, a year?

Let's do a nice candybar. I'll buy it.
