  Feature, like shake shake for torch?

    Had that on my Moto G Plus 5G (which is a shit name btw), as well as twisty-wrist for camera.

      I think they pretty much all have it, they’re great shortcuts.

  Wait not like that!

  I want Graphene but with none of the Moto features.

  Looks like my next phone is going to be a Motorola. Having been on Graphene for 2 years now, I can’t go back. My wife is still on stock and its cringe for me now.

    Just bought a Motorola because it was the best price of the 3 phones I found that had most of the features I wanted. This makes me feel better about that purchase. I’m also pretty happy with the phone so far.

  Great play, Motorola. And I’m not even against it. Take my money.!

  Seems like a good move. They need some market they can dominate, even if it’s a small market at the moment. But, the only way this works is if we buy their phones. I wish them luck, and maybe they’ll make my next phone. I want to get out of Apple and Google.

  Isn’t Motorola basically Chinese?

    It is owned by Lenovo, make of that what you will.

    Google is also basically American. Make of that what you will.

      I want the full stack lenovo linux compatibility. Motorola for phones, lenovo for everything else.

    So what if it is? Replace the stock OS with GrapheneOS and it doesn’t matter who manufactures the phone.

      Except we know hardware backdoors are a thing.

      theoretically you should be right but there’s software hidden in the hardware that you can’t uninstall or modify that could (hypothetically) be surveilling you. like in the networking equipment that’s inside the phone.

      realistically, i think the chances for that happening are actually very low, also because the networking firmware could only see your encrypted data packets, but it could still figure out the IP addresses that you communicate with. i’d rate it a none/low risk level.

    Better than the alternatives at this rate, unless there is an EU alternative.

      Fairphone, Nothing, or Shift would have been my preferred options. But anything non Google is a plus.

  Presumably it’s only a matter of time before Google takes the ‘OS’ out of AOSP and tells all non-approved partners to go kick rocks.

  It’s really great news. I hope so much that they don’t limit this to the flag ships. we already have expensive phones by Google. Most people I know that care for privacy including myself don’t want to play ego shooters on their mobile. We want a reliable device that is secure and can do the basic things.

      A larger and a smaller model would probably be ideal, if only one is made the larger on will likely have the biggest market success.

      Personally i would also like the larger model as my phone is my primary computer for daily life. A 4"-5" screen would suck ass for this.

  How would you compare that to the fairphone?

  source

  • ToTheGraveMyLove@sh.itjust.works ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Two entirely different philosophies. Depends on what is most important to you.

  • illi@piefed.social ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    How I see it:

    Fairphone focuses on sustainability and modularity, with degoogled OS options.

    Graphene focuses on security and privacy. Degoogled out of the box.
