This is crazy big news.

I'll buy if decent specs and price good

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (12 children)

I solely need camera, contactless payments and projection for cars. If it is capable of these I am pre ordering.

Contactless payment will not happen under grapheneOS, it relies on google play services and integrity check. Graphene does have sandboxed play services, but it doesn't pass integrity check.

That's not true. Google Pay (or Wallet?) doesn't work on GrapheneOS. NFC and contactless payments work perfectly fine. You can use Curve Pay or in Poland BLIK via bank apps.

Something like that is what I've been waiting for a long time for. Really looking forward to it.

a future smartphone to have GrapheneOS pre-installed

I'll not trust Lenovo (Motorola is Lenovo) preinstalling stuff on my phone. They've already ship Windows laptop with literally malware and backdoors (even in UEFI, so persistent across format) preinstalled.

I will rather install it myself.

Fully agree on that. Always better to start fully fresh, even without such problems.

That said, it's still important that it will ship pre-installed. That way app-developers who block GrapheneOS cannot excuse their actions anymore by saying that it was your decision to use another OS, and therefore not their problem.

Fucking finally. Please be a Qualcomm chip.

All my phones have been Motorola, the first one was the Moto X - OG !

Very well built and great batteries. Quality phones with close to stock UI for a snappy experience. Love the Moto Actions as well.

Only negatives were updates and cameras. Both are much better these days.

Especially now with an upcoming OS alternative!

Moto flip phone with GOS? sign me up. Should not have to choose between form factor and operating system.
