I always thought Pixel was the platform to have for fucking around with the OS and stuff. Of fucking course I was an idiot.

I tried to switch from iPhone to Pixel 10 Pro Fold with GrapheneOS, but I needed RCS to work. Unfortunately, even installing Google Messages and allowing it permissions wouldn't allow RCS to work for more than 36 hours before I had to go through the whole install and allow process again. I would be willing to cut off all Google services, even banking apps and whatnot, but I need RCS to work. I'm unfortunately an American and cannot reliably expect my friends and family to use an app other than iMessage to text, so I need RCS.

Will Motorola provide some GrapheneOS compatible RCS client? If so, I am likely to switch.

Very interesting, I'll keep an eye on Motorola phones. Not that I need a new one anytime soon, but still that's the kind of thing that could be refreshing to read news about.

The reason I got my ZFold5 was I like the fact that it could open up and give me a larger area to view and bigger keyboard. I have gotten the biggest phone I could get for the last 15 years or so because I have a hard time seeing the tiny screens. I would be happy to switch to a new OS but my old ass needs a bigger screen.

Will it have a headphone jack and sd slot

Damn. Missed opportunity for OnePlus. I know their phasing out phones but I was going that was in favor of GOS. I really want an IR Blaster still (｡╯︵╰｡)

Can it please be somewhat affordable? Privacy as a feature should be accessible to everyone.

Edit: there are two Motorola. The good one is the one shipping Google spyware and not updating their devices. The bad one helps Israel kill brown people.
