I can't wait to read what @final has to say.

  • The first Motorola device to support GrapheneOS, an privacy and security-focused mobile operating system.

I just may have to track one down.

Motorola signature 27 will be available in markets worldwide in the coming months, with a starting MSRP of $1,599

Holy. I hope they eventually release cheaper models that clear GrapheneOS ' hard requirements.

I could do with a shittier camera and pay 50% less for the phone.. I ain’t no professional videographer!

I also don't understand the obsession with cameras in phones. Why do regular people need 20+ migapixels

And these days can't you take a pic with a shitty camera and get AI to make it good?

"Edit this picture so it looks like I snapped it with an iphone 30 DUO MAX PLUS"

I thought that more and more of the Google pixel camera quality has been on the software side and not hardware

I announced the device here:

It's a very flagship smartphone. It has been mentioned on our social channels for a while that it will be the case. Leagues better processor, GPU, Display, Camera, almost everything from most of the supported Pixels overall.

Eventually other phones will be supported, and as these flagship processors become previous-gen stuff, you should hopefully see cheaper phones in the far future as well... this is not something guaranteed though, and there are still 'a' Series Pixels for people who don't want to open the pockets for this.

I’ve been waiting for these to come out before replacing my phone.

reply

yeah... I'll use data sim only, i think

reply

I need to figure that part out. I need to be reachable in emergencies, so whatever the minimal requirements are for that is what I'll try to do.

reply

This is a real issue. I'm leaning towards data sim too, then having a bare bones dumb phone for emergencies.

reply

somebody who i think has a clue (based on work history) advised me that data sims dodge certain govt data collection schemes

reply

But then you have to join local wifi's to do anything? I'm not sure I like that idea.

reply

Why use local wifi? You have data. I haven't looked into the privacy of e-sims. I know @TonyGiorgio and @Natalia recommended a few in the past. You can buy plans with bitcoin. WiFi calling should be available with the Motorola

WiFi calling should be available with the Motorola

That's what I was thinking of

you can get a digital only phone number. i have one... world most of the places my regular phone number works

reply

thanks, I'll look into that

reply

i got one for my corp, thru the virtual office provider

Corporate Phone App on android

Damn... why so advanced phone... i dont get it. In my view, people wanting graphene are happy with a big battery, decent screen and enough storage... perhaps dual (e)sim...

All this ai and camera crap is so not needed...

reply

how else are you gonna livestream your police shootouts in high def

reply

I agree. I think Motorola is the only major manufacturer willing to make a phone graphene compatible right now. With android getting locked down soon, beggars can't be choosers.

reply

Very interesting... those phones are trendy right now—the ones that barely get any notifications.

Its features are truly unique; I can’t wait to get one. Just imagining the photos I’ll be able to take—with the help of AI—would be an incredible, world-class experience.
