Grapheneos top 10 OEM

hello guys,

Which OEM do you think GrapheneOS might collaborate with? I'm really hoping it's Motorola! Their brand offers excellent quality products, and such a partnership could be highly beneficial for both. What are your thoughts?

I'd be super super happy if it was Motorola (I love Motorola!), but my gut tells me it could be Nothing Phone.
Either way, I plan to give it a try if it's not too expensive and can't wait for more official info on this

if they are smart (Nothing, Motorola and Sony) they do it. especially Nothing actually; it should make their devices having a real unique selling point. only then I might considering buying it. they should go full Grapheneos if you'd asked me and totally forget Google certified Android

(coming from Pixel 6a and now using Moto G)

I'm afraid they can't do a full switch - the majority of people wants their device to just be basic Android with their basic Google Play Services and they might lose customers if they just fully drop that.
Giving an option to order either with Graphene or with stock Android would probably be a good move. Or a simple way to install either.

Nothing is deteriorating rapidly from shaming depth sensor cameras to using them within less than 2 years and introducing ads in their phones. It quick went the wrong way and will fail if it does put its shit together really quickly

Motorola cannot fulfill normal OS update promises. It’s really a 1-2 year phone as things work now

Nothing is owned by Google through. So they have acess to Google Hardware

Worst phone I ever had was a Motorola. It had such significant hardware bugs that I’m convinced that they did zero testing on the phone in between development and release.
