    Nobody’s gonna buy it, but Motorola gets to say they tried and there just wasn’t a market for GrapheneOS.

    1900 euros for 512 gb with no sd card slot. 24-bit/192kHz audio support, but no headphone jack. Why even bother?

    I really hope the next generation of Moto G gets graphene support. Somehow their low end phones end up with more useful features than the flagships.

    For phones like these, which are primarily going to be used by nerds, tech enthusiasts and tinkerers, this is poor launch strategy from Motorola.

    Most of the audience for something like this will be turned off by this and all the hype they generated will fizzle out a bit.

    They should have started with a mid range launch first, get enthusiasts to rave about it and then upsell these extravagant features to less involved consumers.

    Signature is their pro max. Just wait for a new “edge” with GrapheneOS support.

    Not justifying the price, its stupid expensive. But please don’t act like this will be the only Motorola with GrapheneOS support.

    What is the point of a 1900€ phone? What is the target audience? How is it better than a 500€ phone?

    Questions more towards Motorola than Graphene, but I doubt the Graphene foundation went into the partnership without knowing what kinds of specific phones would be covered.

    There’s no reason for a phone to be that expensive. Laptops are cheaper and they do more wtaf

    If it costs that much, it better come with at least 10 years of updates. And I guarantee it won’t.
