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.

How would you compare that to the fairphone?

I recently picked up a 2024 model moto g power 5g. The main reason is that I needed the cheapest smart phone I could find locally to test a new provider (phreeli) before committing. That, and to serve as a ready backup if one of ours dies. $115 at a big box store.

It's... fine. Even after debloating I get about half the battery life of my galaxy s20 which is now 5 years old. I haven't been able to figure out what's eating it, or maybe it just has a smaller battery... I should check that.

Can someone ELI5 me what's so special about Google's SoCs that no other manufacturer could do (preferably citing sources not involved)?
I still find it weird that a major manufacturer would bother with a ROM.

Wait not like that!

I want Graphene but with none of the Moto features.
