They need to support it on the Moto G phones so people can actually afford them.

I’m still looking for a solution after https://keepandroidopen.org/ About 50% of my apps are from F-Droid (the others are specific local apps and especially bank apps, which is difficult …)

I love graphene, but I hope they’re planning to also roll out some very strong stock software - or else this will make for a very rough first impression on a large audience of normies and hurt graphene’s long run chance of success. The camera, gallery, and app store in particular will not come up to many users’ standards.

Okay good, they clarified that they won’t ship with it. I’ve seen people saying they will but I never read anything from Graphene or Moto stating that.

Interestingly, Motorola itself is doing “a large portion of the work of porting GrapheneOS to their devices”. …and Motorola is owned by Lenovo, which is effectively controlled by the Chinese state. I love GrapheneOS but jumping into bed with the CCP is bad, bad idea. Edit: I’m not a fan of US tech either, and this isn’t an “I hate China” post. They are both awful countries.

Will Motorola have support for eSIMs? Will Google Pay work? … I’m not making judgments on whether they should, but asking about practical considerations.

What will US do if lenevo is Chinese and owns Motorola and now the US doesn’t have backdoors like they do on Apple and Google devices.

I 100% understand and support why the moved away from google. And Motorola was a good choice. But they really should have supported some budget phones. A pixel series a could easily be found for under 500€ new. These flagship motorola phones are all way over 1000€. And the developer clearly said they had currently no intention to support cheaper motorola phones. Among other things because Motorola won’t offer 7 year updates for anything but these flagships. So, I get it. But let’s face it that people on a budget will keep using pixels for GOS while they are maintained.
