GrapheneOS announced in a Mastodon thread that it plans to roll out its software on regular, next-gen Motorola phones in 2027. The company says a lot of work is being done on its end and Motorola's to ensure this happens next year. GrapheneOS states it also plans to support Moto's next-gen foldables (Razr Fold, Razr Ultra) after it hits slab phones.

Motorola announced a partnership with GrapheneOS during MWC 2026 to bring a more secure, private OS to consumers. According to its thread, GrapheneOS expects to have everything ready for Motorola's phone launches in 2027. GrapheneOS states that Motorola is "doing a large portion of the work" to port its software onto its phones. It's been stated that this privacy-focused version of Android should arrive on "non-folding devices" first.

The thread highlights Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon chips with "more mature support for MTE" and "secure element support." The company responded to a comment, clarifying that future iterations of the Moto Signature, Razr Fold, and Razr Ultra should support GrapheneOS. The post says "current generation Motorola devices don't meet our requirements." The thread also mentions GrapheneOS support is headed to Google's Pixel 11 series.

This is a huge development from Motorola that will likely put a spotlight on it moving into 2027. The partnership involves Motorola's "security expertise, real‑world user insights, and Lenovo’s Think Shield solutions."
