Motorola Signature - GrapheneOS support?

HyperCriSiS

Hi,
I urgently need a new phone and as almost every vendor does an idiotic fight against root and custom ROMs it would be awesome to use GrapheneOS on a high end phone.

I would buy the Motorola Signature if I would know that there will be GrapheneOS support for it.

It is hardware related not the best option, but there are no alternatives, so I prefer having GrapheneOS on a rather suboptimal hardware then having superb hardware but a bad vendor bloated shit ROM.

What is actually known regarding device support?

Thanks

Not possible this year. You will have to wait until the new Motorala Flagship phones that will be in production early 2027

There will not be supported Motorola devices available in 2026

Every Motorola you can buy now doesn't have the hardware to run GOS.

HyperCriSiS just get the Pixel 6a. It's incredibility cheap "around $100" and supported at least until July 2027. By this time, the Motorola device will be available to purchase.

Damn... Thanks for the fast answer!
Will those supported phones have a Qualcomm SOC?

Yes, one of the best on the market, a snapdragon 8 elite

Unless they rebrand to 9 ultra mega deluxe--same thing.

Or if Qualcomm brings elite only security features to their mid tier SoC. That might not happen because they have a client saying: "I have no choice but to purchase your most expensive product."
I'll leave the optimization of quantity sold and price up to them.
