Oh hell yeah! Last two unlocked phones I've bought have been motos! I'm very excited to see what this brings!
My favorite phones were the original Motorola Droids....member the charging dock that looked like an alarm clock?
might be useful for moto g type budget phones.
I highly doubt it will come in budget phones which are usually subsidized by preloaded apps.
Hmmm this would have sounded interesting if it didn't require releasing new phones. I don't think Motorola is going to release their next phone within a $200-$300 price range. As it stands, this is marginally better than yet another "ponzi your VS funding on the privacy community" scheme.
What would be useful, if they now have a partnership going, would be to convince Motorola to release the relock keys / firmware fixes for the bootloaders of some models that are no longer in production but are affordable and useful in the secondhand market. In particular, models that see good support from eg.: Lineage. Much easier to start a road towards better privacy and freer systems if it's feasible on hardware you already have, after all.
Moto g15 (2025) has a headphone jack. I don't know why their phones aren't more popular.
Shareholders are involved. This will be ruined. If you want me off apple, you need to oof get a mainline Linux phone. Until then, it’s all lies and misdirection.
Isnt motorola a Google Subsidiary?
IIRC they're a subsidiary of Lenovo who bougt them sometime in the mid 2010s I think.
Ooh, a headline that might get me to pay attention to an upcoming phone. How fun!
