I’m glad it comes with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme instead of one that’s not Elite or Extreme
I’m glad it’s 7 inches screen this way I can sell my tv to afford it while replacing it at the same time
over $1k
Golly! Look at that Epstein Class price tag! And not even an audio jack to show for it! Who knows what else it’s lacking.
Hyperbolic much? $1k is a lot sure. But comparing a $1k phone to a bunch of billionaire pedos is laughable. Also you can buy previous Pixels that support Graphene.
It’s not hyperbole at all. The Trump Phone (the literal Epstein Class phone) is 32% cheaper than the new Moto.
I guarantee you not a single memeber of the Epstein class is using that phone
It’s about the branding for the sheeple, not about the high-profile users. We all know those are being serviced by military or corporate degree hardware thanks to their connections.
Does anyone know if it has a headphone jack? It seems dumb to brag about having B&O work on the audio if not, but I am still thinking it won’t which will kill any interest in it.
Edit: I confirmed it does not have one. total junk
Minority of a minority of a minority.
[…] does not want a built-in jack connector 🙃
sure, like those supporting Palestine, doesn’t make them wrong. I hate not having a headphone jack, my Etymotic ear buds are 20 years old and still work superbly.
No jack? Send it back!!
Have you tried a USB C to headphone adapter? They’re quite small and never have to leave your headphones. And you could set the phone on a wireless charger to charge and listen simultaneously. Would that be an option for you?
Oh. I see someone else asked this. Never mind.
I strongly agree
This is why I keep a pixel 3.
I assume you mean a 3a, I don’t believe the 3 still had a headphone jack. I held on to my 4a for as long as I could, but after their battery shenanigans it only lasted a few hours is very light use.
A phone repair shop could pop in a new battery. It wouldn’t be secure to use on the internet, but it’d be a good mp3 player :)
Due to not being able to get a graphene compatible phone with a headphone jack, I’ve been just using a DAP for the past year or so. It sucks needing to carry around a second device. If I hadn’t already gone this route it would have been an option and I could have just used a rom that let me switch off the radios.
All phones have headphone jacks if you buy a $10 adapter
We want it built-in, period
No. Period.
yes, period (we can do this all day, let’s go 😆)
No you want the vast majority of people don’t care at all.
But like, it doesn’t hurt you. It’s not like you have to choose between a phone that can do Bluetooth or a phone that has a headphone jack. Your opinion hurts us, bit of Orpington doesn’t hurt you. You see that right?
Yes I want a built-in jack connector lmfao
You’re not going to get what you want here. Its abandoned tech. Not saying its better or worse, but they’re not going to add them back in. They dont want ungrounded analog devices plugging into their digital devices.
“people don’t care about good solutions”
Okay and that’s a good argument because…?
- Not a good one
- This is a good way to ensure a short life for your charging port
Here is one of the best adapters you can buy:
https://www.apple.com/shop/product/mw2q3am/a/usb-c-to-35-mm-headphone-jack-adapter
The charging port (aka USB-C port) isnt going to break because you occasionally plug in a cable into it.
The charging port doesn’t break from plugging in the cable, it happens because the headphone cable gets pulled at angles and usb-c isn’t good at handling the stress from. I’ve literally had this happen. And yes, Apple’s dongle IS one of the best usb-c dongles. They have always sold it dirt cheap as a way to assuage the people that were angry at the headphone jack removal. I am surprised they haven’t raised the price after all these years; it has to be sold at a loss at this point.
I’m still, after several years, confused on why didn’t they make the USB-C connector circular. Wouldn’t have to deal with the whole “spin 1/2” issue USB has had for decades, and there wouldn’t be a “weird angle” for the cable to be pulled at, all angles would be equal.
Engineers disagree.
Which ones?
Qualified ones? 😆
Such as?
The adapter is extra room and gives a joint point that can be bent and broken.
Built-in > Bolt-in.
Right. Much easier to replace an adapter than a built in 3.5mm jack.
Much harder to replace the built-in USB-C port and you also lose a lot of other features of the phone (such as… ya know… charging) in the meanwhile.
Really, AI has brought people intellects that low, even here on Lemmy?
Wireless charging doesnt use up a port. What AI is involved with my responses?
Who said anything about wireless charging? The only wireless my phone needs is the network connection.
Um, so FYI there are multiple ways to charge some phones. Some can do wireless charging plus let the usb-c port use a 3.5mm adapter for a headset. Its a pretty decent solution.
Wow now I have to spend extra on a crappy wireless charger that isless efficient than a billion cords I already have
Bummer dude
How often you needed to replace 3.5mm female socket? I don’t think I ever encountered that (if there were issues it was always with the cable), but had to replace USB female socket several times.
Ive seen quite a few slots pushed in too hard or bent sideways in my days
Interesting, experience was that those were quite durable: 3 connections and then the port soldered into the board.
Any issues I seen were with the headphone cable and the jack.
I had a lot of issues with USB especially micro USB that just worn down after use even when your were careful. And because it is using digital protocol I had to remove and insert jack again until it clicks.
I have this problem with USB C on my work’s Mac.
Those cameras are stupid, 200MP is utter nonsense, no SD card slot is insane… I wish Graphene would pick a better phone
Jesus, I don’t care what it does to the image quality, I just don’t ever want 4 lenses on the back of my phone
Personally, I think it’s better than the Samsung Galaxy Ultra series because, on those phones, the camera island goes down the phone, not across it, making magnetic accessories cumbersome to fit on at times.
The Motorola also looks like it doesn’t have a camera island, just protruding cameras. I can’t be sure though.
16 GB RAM
Will I finally be able to compile stuff and use Nix on it?
Sure, you can also just do that now.
I was trying to use Nix-on-Droid but the Android OOM kept killing my builds, and this is with a phone with 12 GB RAM
5 cameras? can i get a phone with zero cameras?
Always with the perfectionism with better alternatives.
I know they already said to expect flagships, but it’s still very disappointing to me.
Personally, I’m just never going to buy a phone with something like the 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, a flagship among flagships.
What are you supposed to do with a beast like that? It’s just a lot of money wasted, because nothing you’ll ever use a smartphone for requires even 50% of that performance.
I hope some cheaper, weaker options will be supported by Graphene too.
All I want any phone to do is a great camera, a decent auto experience and contactless payments.
I hope linux can get a decent camera system operational. GOS stock camera is abysmal.
buy a used one in 4 years and get the battery replaced ?
I’ve been so hyped for this, but wow am I ever disappointed. Here’s hoping some better phones are to come with Graphene support
Better? Isn’t this already a premium phone? Idk much about phones.
not the person you replied to, but i assume things like headphone jack, sdcard support, no insane camera bump, repairable design, saner price
in addition i wish for stuff like smaller size, LCD instead of AMOLED, no pinchhole/notch. yeah ik that’s impossible these days…
My major issues with it is that it’s the first phone to officially support Graphene, so you’d think it would cater to a different demographic.
Yet there’s no headphone jack, no SD card support. And it’s WAY too big. It’s just another boring modern phone that is selling itself on being unnecessarily powerful.
Though the problem is… If this flops, will there be a 2nd phone that supports gos?
Aren’t these things $1400 or some crazy price?
Happy to hear it’s coming, hoping midrange phones are next.
You well know when they come, when qualcolm puts the features in their midrange chips. GrapheneOS is not going to support SOCs that do not have the features they require.
I see people mentioning “features”, “features”, “features” what actually are the features they require?
The phone looks ok, but I’m most disappointed that the price will likely be $1000+. What’s the runner up OS for the midrange? Running GOS on pixel 8 since launch and looking to move in the next ~2 yrs
RAM prices have made it impossible for mid range phones to get the same profit margins they had before. Get a 2nd hand Pixel before they go up even more
looking expensive 😮💨
It’s a whole class of its own in terms of price tag. One could call it, an Epstein Class price tag since even the Trump Phone is cheaper.

- Not Linux
- No headphone Jack
- No SDCard
- might as well be a spider in the back
- most likely not user serviceable
- Corpo-ahh looking device
- possibly inaccessibly priced
- FEELS like undesirable government officials will be the ones to get these devices
Nothing to see here. Just a bunch of noise.
Only good thing is, graphene no longer locked to google devices.
What I really want is a phone that is Android based, that has Satellite comms built in
I should be able to afford an after market signature 27 in 2035…assuming I haven’t been thrown in a eugenics camp by then.
