Motorola partnership announcement

Foggy It's inclusive of taxes. I think you are spot on.

pixelate Remember, remember
The 5th of November,

God, That is great movie line. I forgot above that movie, Got to rewatch it one again. For those who do not know. I cannot recommend enough. You should watch that movie. Movie - "V for Vendetta" 2005

pedja I've been looking forward to this, but there's one significant issue. The snapdragon 8EE6 is known to be very disappointing. One of the main points I expected for Motorola to outperform the Pixels was the SoC. Not sure how much of an upgrade 8EE6 is gonna be compared to tensor G6.

Also in the comments:

Person: Hey Danny, does it come with the much awaited Graphene OS?

Danny: Wait for the launch. They will talk about it

I mean I'd hope they'd talk about GrapheneOS but I wonder if he knows anything considering he's probably a partner or something. As in, he knows they'll talk about it beyond a guess.

flourishdev he got little bit of information from Moto...

Do you have a source for this? Disappointing as in previously expected to be better than reality or worse than the alternatives?

I have this info on it

37% less power usage seen from 1st party tests is a great achievement. Ontop of this, the previous snapdragon phones already lasted far longer on a battery than pixels.

de0u Personally I would be completely unsurprised if GrapheneOS is not available at all on launch day and later is in beta test for a while, maybe months.

It would be really weird and high unlikely that this kind of partnership starts with GOS coming MONTHS after the phone. That would be pretty bad way start this new chapter. Phone would wait in a box for months and then comes the GOS. Maybe it would be better to wait Signature 28 at that point. I'm waiting GOS release for the launch or maximum of week after that. GOS will put every bit of work in this release and it just can't take months.

datsyuk I think I've seen somewhere that moto sig 27 will support GOS from day1. However It won't be shipped preinstalled. btw I'd flash the phone and reinstall GOS whether or not it's installed by default.

gowowa1659 Also note that around 35 minutes in the video, he explains that the chip was not yet optimized. It might get better with a bit more optimization and a firmware update.

mmmm

snjy Movie line?! Whilst that's true, it's originally a nursery rhyme, and it's regarding this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night

That could be avoided by waiting for an announcement from the GrapheneOS project before ordering the phone.

There have been numerous statements from GrapheneOS that it would be in 2027. If the device is released in November 2026, then...

Maybe you could interpret 2027 to refer to the device model rather than the calendar year. Seems like a stretch to me, but we will see.

It seems like high end phones which aren't iPhones tend to get increasingly discounted when they're a few months old. So unless there's an unmissable launch day offer it will probably save a bit of money to buy later, rather than buying earlier and keeping in the box. Or buy one that's been lightly used.

After years of GOS use on my trusty Pixel 6 pro it's finally started to get a bit glitchy and a green line of death has appeared on the screen, so it's time to renew.
The way I see it, my choice is between the pixel 10 Pro and the Motorola signature 27. I'm just waiting for confirmation of the signature 27 price, but from everything I've heard it sounds pretty scary high. If it's too much, I'm going to go for the pixel 10 Pro. I just hope my Pixel 6 pro lasts long enough for the launch...

I think many signs point to the Motorola Signature 27 costing more than the Pixel 10 Pro.

Also, if your device is currently on the way out, it might be prudent to hold off deciding until the GrapheneOS project announces that support for the Signature 27 is stable.

de0u That could be avoided by waiting for an announcement from the GrapheneOS project before ordering the phone.

Skipping pre-order sale for just waiting an announcement is just more stupid way to buy the phone. I am buying instantly with good pre-order offer and GOS should be avalailable at first day. Not too bad if it will take week or two but months would be just awful way to start this deal with Motorola.

mmmm

datsyuk They haven't started the 'deal' with Motorola, as far as you're/we're concerned, until they have released compatibility details and actually launched the OS on Motorola.

They have told that Signature 27 will be first Motorola phone to support GOS so that is the deal already. If GOS appears months after S27, it would be a bad start with Motorola. It is that simple. It is definately expected that GOS is available if not at lauch, then really fast.

mmmm

datsyuk I dont know why you expected that, they have repeatedly said that it wouldn't be the case, and to expect it some time in 2027.
