1599!!?? What are they smoking over there?!
Well, it has no headphone jack, no microSD card, No replaceable battery. I don’t think we’re gaining anything compared to pixel tbh.
But of course any competition is good.
Can’t wait to buy this for $400 in two years when all the bugs are ironed out
Hell yeah, up with aftermarket tech!
This also has 7 years of guaranteed updates so it could dominate the aftermarket in a few years. Assuming any sell in the first place.
Needs more cameras.
And more cowbell…
I’ve got a need… for more cowbell.
LONG article. Here’s the GrapheneOS bit (plus availability section):
Motorola’s first GrapheneOS-supported device, built for privacy and peace of mind
Data privacy matters, and Motorola continues to build on its commitment to security with ThinkShield®, which helps protect users from the factory to the phone, and Moto Secure, a centralized destination for managing privacy and security features.
Expanding that commitment even further, the motorola signature 27 will kickstart a new era of smartphone privacy and security. It will be Motorola’s first device to support GrapheneOS, a hardened, open-source operating system based on the Android Open Source Project. Developed in partnership with the GrapheneOS Foundation, the leading nonprofit in advanced mobile security, the device reflects Motorola’s commitment to bringing cutting-edge security to everyday users across the globe.
That commitment runs deeper than software: GrapheneOS sets demanding requirements for the hardware it runs on and how it’s kept updated, and the motorola signature 27 is built to meet them. The device is Motorola’s first with a performant implementation of ARM Memory Tagging Extension, a new hardware caching mechanism for helping ensure system integrity and privacy. More details on it will be shared in the coming months.
Availability
Motorola signature 27 will be available in markets worldwide in the coming months, with a starting MSRP of $1,599. For local price information and availability, please contact your local PR team
Hardware caching mechanism for privacy?? Do they mean the secure element?
Who gives a solitary fuck about the specs at that asinine “price”? 🤢🖕🏼
might as well do it with known cheaper brands
