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

1,900 Euro equals 2,117.10 United States Dollar

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.

There is no phone on earth that should cost 2000 fucking dollars

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.

Dafuq.

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

What the fuck is the point? Like really what the fuck??? Just make an affordable phone is it really that fucking hard????? Sorry for cruising so much but what the actual fuck?????? LiKe is it actually hard to conceptualize common sense now a-days???????? Like girl we’re 27 and broke and your telling us not only of we want out of the hellscape of Apple vs Android bullshit we either gotta make out own phone or pay 2k€ for a fucking phone?! FOR A PHONE?????!!!!! We’ve only bought 1 new phone EVER only purchased pre-used phones and they’ve all been old and even this “new” phone was old when we got it 😭 we’ve been stuck on this shitty ios phone stuff too fucking long and been waiting for like any good android phone and was looking at this like holy shit finally AND NOW IT’S 2 FUCN K EUROS?!?!?!

Another 5 years on the iPhone 12 mini ig

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

Lol. These corporations have lost their fucking minds.

Now do Doogee

CAD$2,983. Yeah, no thanks.

Completely wrong target for GrapheneOS. The GrapheneOS demographics, which I belong to, isn't interested in high-end phones. They want a no nonsense simple phone with lots of storage and security first design.

• fancy AMOLED screen: don't care
• 5 fancy cameras: don't care
• super powerful CPU and GPU: don't care
• storage space: yes please, I have photos and music to store locally!

This will be harmful to GrapheneOS project. It will go like this: no one buys the phone because it's too damn expensive and full of features the privacy nerds like me don't care about. Even fewer buy the phone with GrapheneOS pre-installed and it's a total flop. Motorola stops the partnership saying "we did it and no one wanted it". No other OEM wants to partner with GrapheneOS after that.

What is this obsession with cramming 5+ cameras into phones

If Graphene is reading this: You just lost me and my family. Will look for other options. Woo hang on to the Pixels till we can't.
