Don’t think I have ever owned a Motorola phone but it seems I just might in 2027.
I’ve had a couple and always installef LineageOS. A custom ROM with the ability to keep the bootloader locked will be nice
In my experience, they have always been one of the less painful custom rom experiences, but for some reason, overlooked by the community
Yeah no idea why people are sleeping on the Motos. I love mine
Ads, as of late. Bought my mom one and kinda regret it.
My last one was in the naughts. When Nokia was still a market leader.
It’s been my main brand for a while now. Pretty good hardware with very few changes to base android. There are not many options in my country so from what’s available, Motorola is by far the best choice.
I had the Razr V3M (the original one): It was a pretty solid phone.
StarTAC hand-me-down as my first cell phone.
Motorola Droid as my first smart phone.
I haven’t had many Motorolas, but my limited history with them has been pretty alright!
Funny, my carrier just offered a free phone upgrade and I ordered a Motorola at random because I was growing increasingly annoyed by my Samsung. Luck was with me!
That’s great, if I was going to pick a phone brand for Graphene it would be Motorola.
Gotta have that shake flashlight
Shake flashlight and twist camera, I use both every single day.
What’s a twist camera?
You twist/rotate the phone sharply left and right on it’s long axis and that brings up the camera app.
Sounds very convenient. I’ll look up to see if my phone has it
Once you use it and the shake camera they are very intuitive. I had a Moto G and it was great (other than the camera). I do like my current double press power for camera too, but options are nice.
I miss that on my x4
My Moto Edge has it. It’s so natural and I love it.
I’d prefer programmable button(s) like my current phone has.
Now, it’s a Ulefone, so in the full Ulefone spirit the software is bugged out due to power saving and often breaks with locked screen (only for the large flashlight).
I really, really miss the fingerprint scanner navigation from my Moto G5s Plus. Unfortunately, nowadays phones have minimal bezels, so it’s not possible.
And yes, I would prefer bezels and 16:9 screen. It’s much easier to hold it that way. Or at least enough to get rid of cut-outs and curved corners. Give me all my pixels!But also there was volume button music control, so I could skip songs without using the screen. Very useful at night, but also when just having the phone in a pocket.
Tap to adjust volume, hold to skip.
Dear Santa…
- HW switches
- repairable
That’s all I want. Thank you.
A functional NFC payment check would be welcome. Hoping Motorola would have the pull to implement that either by getting Google Wallet’s blessing or forcing them to. I really don’t see why it is not considered a monopolistic practice since it gives Googles official OS an unfair advantage.
That’s the thing - Android is not Googles official/private OS. They just help maintain it. In their distribution, they ship it with Google products. The EU is strongly against this practice, why there is a EU version without preinstalled apps. The maker of the phone then has to solve the problem of how to solve certain problems. Samsung solved it by providing their own wallet solution. Motorola would have to do the same.
I would also take a headphone jack if we could swing that.
And sd card.
Moto G Stylus is pretty crazy in that it has all that plus a stylus. Now something like that with GrapheneOS and long term support would make it amazing.
Have it running LineageOS but would switch if an image comes through.
This is my grown up Christmas list
Well, well, well, my next phone might just be a Motorola!
This is the thing that will 100% get me to leave my iPhone behind.
I’ve had a few moto phones and one edge, in general I was quite happy with them. Motorola doesn’t change the Android UI too much and only adds a few convenience functions.
Price / value ratio is also pretty good.
Lenovo is walking on the razor’s edge. They are still a chinese company and can’t help themselves. My G23 had Lenovo’s adware instaled after a version upgrade, kept pushing for Live Lock Screens. Had to uninstall the crap on the user through adb, just disabling it didn’t work.
You have to think and view this deal as GrapheneOS with Lenovo, not with Motorola.
razor’s edge
Razr’s edge
I installed LineageOS on my Motorola. No adware to be seen. With an entirely separate ROM I dont see how it could be a problem
Moar, please.
Im pretty simple. I’d like decent cameras and microsd card expansion.
If it has expandable memory, I’m in
Memory or storage?
Storage
Slightly concerning given Motorola is owned by Lenovo, a huge Chinese company… Hopefully the Chinese state doesn’t get involved with the project somehow.
And black rock
I hope it’s a flip phone with 12 buttons on it
I will take any trash at this point, considering to hell hole that the smartphone market is now.
How dare you call this trash?
Looks like I misinterpreted your comment. I was a bit groggy when I replied.
it’s okay I’m not actually offended i love you bb I don’t actually have one of these phones I hate them
If it ain’t got a jack, I gotta send it back.

to expand Motorola’s B2B ecosystem with advanced security
Its probably gonna be their Thinkphone, currently they are about 500€ a piece, with a subscription for various business things
Wasn’t the last thinkphone from 2024?
Would be nice, but the last think phone had mediatek instead of Qualcomm so I don’t know if that will be the case (mediatek seems a lot harder to make custom ROMs for and there aren’t too many).
But modeled after the first think phone would be awesome. USB 3.1, wireless charging, decent camera for its time, but no SD card slot or headphone jack…
I love my razr 2024, but I’ve been patiently waiting for graphene to support a decent non-google phone. Looks like I’m about to get the best of both worlds!
