edit: IMO, Im not sure if upcoming moto phones would run on grapheneOS, or they’ll just pick some features from grapheneOS due to some questionable moto features like “motorola analytics” and embed it on their own OS.
I just hope this wouldn’t be a “bait n’ switch” enshittification just to kill grapheneOS.



Only phones with hardware-backed verified boot + bootloader relock using alternative keys (currently only Pixels) can support GrapheneOS correctly (according to the GOS team)
So the only thing this can mean is that moto plans to release new hardware with this capability, because none (other then pixels) currently exists.
Dont expect this to mean GOS is coming to older devices. Its unlikely moto will even sell them preloaded because GOS is not exactly the most consumer friendly android fork.
