This is not the Motorola (USA) that many of us knew for ages. That company doesn't exist any more.
The company working with GrapheneOS appears to be Motorola Mobility, owned by Lenovo (China).
- abhinavk 1mo agoThe original Motorola exists as Motorola Solutions in USA. Mobility was spun-off.
- raverbashing 1mo agoWell thankfully, because the original one was hopeless in shipping good mobile phones
- anal_reactor 1mo agoI got my first smartphone 14 years ago. It was a Samsung. It landed in trash after one year. Since then I've been on Motorolas because they're the only smartphones that tick these boxes: - SD card slot - audio jack - cheap - no shitty custom UI filled with ads and slowness
- embedding-shape 1mo ago> Motorola Mobility, owned by Lenovo (China). Praise be the lord for Chinese Motorola Mobility if so, because they were the ones who launched and shipped the Motorola Moto G phone which was probably the best cheap Android phone available that could fit into my hand properly, until the 5th/6th generation, when I had to move away from them as they too became too large. Hope they go back to their (Chinese) roots shortly and launch more "normal sized" phones again, if they'll be able to run GrapheneOS as well that'd be a huge plus obviously :)
- kuschku 1mo agoThe first three generations of the Moto G were developed under the US branch of Motorola Mobility, when they were owned by Google. That "growing too large to be useful" was exactly when they were sold to Lenovo.
