I've used pixels but before then I used to use Motorola. I always like them and they had the best gestures like the twist shake to turn on the flashlight and the tip shake to turn on the camera.

Interesting

I'll believe it when I see it

I look forward to using GrapheneOS on a phone with a MicroSD slot. Google and Apple (as examples) are always incorrect in their assumptions that "this amount of built-in storage is all you will ever need."

FUCK YEAH! LETS GOOO!

My moto g85 doesn't have any custom roms yet. I just tried on Lineage OS old 8.1.0 rom for my moto Z and now I desperately want to do the same on my current phone. Lineage is what I hoped for but now Graphene? FUCK YEAH!

The thing with open source is that there doesn’t need to be a “partnership”. Motorola/Lenovo can just take the code and make the necessary changes on their own.

Hell yes! Best smartphone I have had is my current Motorola, and it was surprisingly cheap too. Would love to put Graphene on it.

Oh hell yeah! Last two unlocked phones I've bought have been motos! I'm very excited to see what this brings!

I am a huge fan of this. It's a big step in the right direction.
