GrapheneOS Is Coming to Motorola Smartphones Next Year
The security- and privacy-focused open-source Android operating system GrapheneOS will be officially supported on Motorola smartphones starting next year. Initially, the system will be made available on one of Motorola's traditional flagship smartphones before expanding to the company's foldable models.
The GrapheneOS Foundation said on Mastodon that the Motorola Razr Fold and Razr Ultra are also expected to receive GrapheneOS support in the future. This is particularly noteworthy for the Razr Ultra. If the plan is implemented, it will become the first clamshell foldable smartphone to officially support GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS differs from standard Android primarily in its approach to privacy and security. The system can be used without relying on Google services and gives users greater control over their data, app permissions, and devices. However, GrapheneOS does not support every Android smartphone. The team behind the operating system requires devices to meet certain hardware-level security requirements. The Foundation says Motorola's 2026 Signature and Razr models come very close to meeting these requirements. However, some capabilities in the current devices, such as hardware-level memory protection and secure element integration, still do not fully meet GrapheneOS standards. This is expected to change with Qualcomm's next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite chips. For this reason, GrapheneOS plans to introduce its first Motorola support on the company's 2027 smartphones.
