Motorola has partnered with the GrapheneOS Foundation, announced at MWC 2026. The collaboration aims to bring GrapheneOS — a privacy-focused, de-Googled Android OS — to a Motorola device. Until now, GrapheneOS only officially supported Google Pixel phones. A Motorola phone shipping with GrapheneOS pre-installed appears to be in development, though no specific device has been revealed. The partnership could break the Pixel hardware monopoly for GrapheneOS and open the door for other manufacturers to offer privacy-respecting smartphones. Motorola also announced an enterprise analytics platform and a new Moto Secure feature that strips metadata from camera images.
