Motorola has announced their new high end flagship phone including upcoming official support for GrapheneOS as an OS option.
Motorola Signature 27 will be the first Motorola device supported by GrapheneOS. More devices will be supported in the future.
It's a huge upgrade over a Pixel 11 Pro XL with far over double GPU performance, ~60% better single threaded CPU performance and ~80% better multithreaded CPU performance. It has significantly better cameras too.
Here's the main page for the device:

Motorola Signature 27 meets all of our official security requirements. It provides a high performance hardware memory tagging (MTE) implementation from Qualcomm, a high quality dedicated secure element from NXP and we'll be able to provide 7 years of proper update from launch.
Pixels used to be officially supported by the Android Open Source Project. Android 16 dropped Pixel support and they're now much harder to support than many other devices. We have to do a lot of reverse engineering and backport QPR1/QPR3 Pixel firmware/drivers for proper updates.
Motorola is providing official support for GrapheneOS and has multiple engineers helping us port GrapheneOS to their devices and implement the required security features. We'll have what we need provided officially and can work with them to improve driver/firmware security too.
Motorola can get Qualcomm to make improvements too. For Pixels, we regularly file issues reporting weaknesses and proposing improvements but have no special access and they often don't listen or prioritize the issues. Official support for GrapheneOS from Motorola resolves this.
Nov 6, 2026, 7:52 PM@GrapheneOS : how will the camera support be in GrapheneOS? Will the picture be on-par with the Android version ?
@ploum @GrapheneOS Depends on what CameraX extensions the camera app has available usually, picture quality often can look "better" on official camera apps due to software post-processing, but hardware support should be the exact same since it's all CameraX extensions GrapheneOS would have access to.
@GrapheneOS @jjj I was so excited to try this and then bring SandFly support to Graphine OS, but it's far too expensive. Unfortunate, but not unexpected for a flagship.
