The announcement, however, was bereft of details. Now, the creators of the OS have taken to Mastodon (naturally) to provide <a href=\"https:\/\/grapheneos.social\/@GrapheneOS\/117078064184215730\">an update<\/a>. Moto&#8217;s GrapheneOS phones are on track to launch in 2027, but they&#8217;ll cost a pretty penny.<\/p>\n<p>The upcoming Moto devices won&#8217;t ship with GrapheneOS, but they will be fully supported by the project with help from Moto itself. So far, only Pixel phones have met GrapheneOS&#8217;s strict hardware requirements to ensure the highest level of security and privacy. The software, which is based on Android, includes features like enhanced memory protection, granular network permissions, customizable app sandboxing, and a duress code that can be used to wipe your phone. (That last one got an activist <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2026\/07\/activist-charged-with-felony-after-giving-border-agent-duress-code-that-wiped-his-phone\/\">charged with a felony<\/a> earlier this year after he used it to delete his data during a customs interrogation.)<\/p>\n<p>According to the GrapheneOS team, the upcoming Moto phones will be premium flagship devices. The team expects pricing to be even higher than Pixel phones, which is saying something. The <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2026\/08\/google-pixel-11-series-review-is-the-magic-fading\/\">current Pixel lineup<\/a> starts at $900 for the base model Pixel 11, a $100 increase from last year. The Pixel 11 Pro XL price has gone up to a whopping $1,300 this year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2026\/08\/motorolas-grapheneos-phones-will-launch-in-2027-priced-higher-than-pixels\/\">Read full article<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2026\/08\/motorolas-grapheneos-phones-will-launch-in-2027-priced-higher-than-pixels\/#comments\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wpematico_credit\"><small>Powered by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wpematico.com\" target=\"_blank\">WPeMatico<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several months ago, Motorola and the makers of GrapheneOS announced a team-up that would expand support for the privacy-centric OS to beyond Google&#8217;s Pixel phones.
