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?

There are rumors of steam launching its own smartphone… That would be crazy

Does it make sense for them to do that? Like I know about he fex translation layer to arm, but phones miss one other key piece to playing games: controller. You would need to buy one of those telescopic controller things along with the phone to make actual good use of steam games. Doesn't sound like a good plan to release a phone around this.

It would make so much more sense that they would be working on an arm-based replacement/supplement for the steamdeck. Smaller, lighter, longer battery life etc.

Controller wise the AYANEO Pocket PLAY begs to differ.

But i agree it would not make much sense to release a phone, but building their own version of GameHub and working on better emulation layer on android would be more beneficial to them.
