Comment on GrapheneOS Collaboration With Motorola Mobility

I very seriously doubt this happens, but it would be incredibly amazing if it was the Moto G line of devices. Absolute premium specs are not needed to get a great experience on operating systems that don’t have Google spy services.
When GOS first announced this several months ago, they also announced it would be a flagship chipset. Plus Motorola will be losing a lot of money by opting out of data mining. So I expect it will be expensive.
Nice to have options but I expect I’ll be sticking to Pixels.
Yeah, I was talking with somebody about it, and they think it will be a device that will cost something like 3.3 Monero. That’s a lot more than I want to spend considering I can get a pixel A series for something like 1.5 Monero, or if I don’t want to go with graphene, I can get the Motorola Moto G 2024 and put Lineage OS on it for like 0.4 Monero.

The actual functional difference between a cheap “value” phone and a premium “flagship” phone has never been smaller than it is today. There was a time when you actually got different capabilities, actual real-world performance improvements, and longer battery life. Now the cheap phones sometimes offer BETTER features (notably, battery life) because they aren’t running as much stupid bullshit that you don’t want.
