Motorola's upcoming GrapheneOS phones are expected to launch in 2027 with prices higher than Google Pixel devices. The devices will likely cost over a thousand dollars, potentially due to being foldables and ongoing AI-driven component price increases.

Motorola skipped releasing new non-folding Edge phones in 2026, suggesting a shift toward foldable designs for their 2027 lineup. This aligns with Graphene OS's hardware requirements, as only Qualcomm's premium 8-series processors offer comparable security features to Google's Tensor chips.

While Motorola produces budget Moto G devices, these aren't viable for Graphene OS due to limited update support and mid-range chip limitations. The developers don't anticipate broader support for cheaper models soon.

Graphene OS should be available at launch for these Motorola devices, though installation requires technical expertise. The project offers web-based USB installer tools for Pixel phones and will likely provide similar resources for Motorola devices.
