GrapheneOS has confirmed the Motorola Signature 27 as its first officially supported non-Pixel phone, marking a major expansion beyond Google hardware. The flagship meets GrapheneOS's requirements including a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and seven years of software support. The move reflects GrapheneOS's growing independence from Google amid recent tensions over driver access and API gatekeeping.
A tech reviewer compares Google's Pixel 11 Pro with Motorola's newly announced Signature 27 flagship, highlighting Motorola's innovative design, promising camera system with a 200MP periscope telephoto lens, and powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset as reasons to consider switching devices.
A new leak reveals the Galaxy S27 series will feature 12GB RAM and 256GB storage in base models, with the S27 Ultra reaching up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage. Samsung is also expected to upgrade to UFS 5.1 storage and LPDDR6 memory, along with improved OLED panels and new Snapdragon chipsets, likely resulting in higher prices.
