Motorola Signature 27 to Be First Non-Pixel GrapheneOS Phone

GrapheneOS has confirmed that Motorola’s Signature 27 will be the privacy-focused operating system’s first supported smartphone outside Google’s Pixel lineup, marking a planned expansion to Motorola hardware. The project has not said when support will be available or whether the phone will ship with GrapheneOS installed. The confirmation identifies the Signature 27 as the first Motorola device slated to run the software. GrapheneOS, an open-source operating system based on Android, has so far been associated primarily with Pixel phones. Its developers have described the Motorola support plan as a move to bring the system to selected devices from another manufacturer. GrapheneOS said that some devices are planned to be sold with the operating system preinstalled. The project has not specified whether the Signature 27 is among them, and the announcement did not provide a schedule for software support. The team said further official information would follow, but gave no date. Motorola has not confirmed a specific U.S. launch date or price for the Signature 27.
