Motorola gets a little bit of love from me because they were (maybe still are?) the only ones who allowed me to shout “COMRADE MOTO!” to wake my phone up
I will not say “Hey Google” in a million years. I refuse.
Comment on Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features

Well, fuck. I really hoped they would pick FairPhone. Motorola is… Okay. I guess they made the Nexus 5 ; which was one of the best phones ever.
I hope they make a SMALL one, I am so tired of this GIGANTIC pixel 9.

SOVIET ANTHEM PLAYS IN THE BACKGROUND

That’s definitely worth a fair few points. Always rubbed me the wrong way that you couldn’t change it to whatever you wanted.

I think LG made the Nexus 5, though.

Actually LG made the Nexus 5, Moto did the Nexus 6, developed while Google owned Motorola and released a few weeks after Lenovo bought them.
Depending on your definition of ‘small’, your only hope might be if they did Razr and you used it folded up. That’s credibly small, though I don’t know if Graphene would be game for bothering to do that sort of multiple display work.

Fairphone isn’t available everywhere while Motorola is. It’s pretty easy to understand why they chose them.
Octagon9561@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
That’s not the reason, the real reason is Fairphone doesn’t take security seriously. The GrapheneOS devs have called them out numerous times on that.
PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Might be a reason but you can’t get Fairphones in North America which is a huge market.

Who haven’t the gosdevs called out? Not even OpenBSD are as callous and their work is rock solid.

But if they partnered with GrapheneOS, there could have been a concerted effort to remedy that.

Depends on if Fairphone wants to take security ‘seriously’ by Graphene OS opinion.
I don’t know the details of these specific folks, but sometimes a security team can be wholly unreasonable and advocate for breaking useful capabilities. E.g. there are some security folks that would say the entire possibility of unlocked bootloader is an unforgiveable security no-no. They can even argue with each other, I know a security team that says password managers are a no-no and humans should remember every credential that they would have otherwise put in a password manager, while most security folks would agree a password manager is totally worth it for using randomized passwords.
So I tend to reserve judgement on disagreements between a ‘security authority’ until I hear nuance of specifics on both sides. I could easily believe GrapheneOS wants some things that are fundamentally at odds with what Fairphone wants rather than just Fairphone being sloppy about it or something.
