Well, fuck. I really hoped they would pick FairPhone. Motorola is... Okay. I guess they made the Nexus 5 ; which was one of the best phones ever.

I hope they make a SMALL one, I am so tired of this GIGANTIC pixel 9.

Fairphone isn’t available everywhere while Motorola is. It’s pretty easy to understand why they chose them.

[–] Octagon9561@lemmy.ml 28 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

That's not the reason, the real reason is Fairphone doesn't take security seriously. The GrapheneOS devs have called them out numerous times on that.

Also a good reason but you can’t get Fairphones in North America which is a huge market.

Motorola gets a little bit of love from me because they were (maybe still are?) the only ones who allowed me to shout "COMRADE MOTO!" to wake my phone up

I will not say "Hey Google" in a million years. I refuse.

That's definitely worth a fair few points. Always rubbed me the wrong way that you couldn't change it to whatever you wanted.

I think LG made the Nexus 5, though.
