Motorola has been under Lenovo for over a decade now, and still is, as a clarification.
The new thing is that for whatever reason, Motorola themselves has explicitly declared that some as-yet specified 2027 flagship model will officially support Graphene (though you have to load it yourself). This goes beyond just letting the community figure it out if it happens to be workable.
Now as to whether they follow through on that, hard to say. Lenovo broadly sometimes makes announcements and then backs out without explanation.
It’s been a decade since I switched to iPhone for my daily driver. I still have an Android phone as backup. I had an HTC last, and a Samsung before that, so yeah, my Motorola was before that. My wife had one more recently. Actually, she had the same one I did, then used two more for some reason (habit?). They were all pretty shit phones. All before the acquisition.
I know a guy who worked for Lenovo. Said they treated him good. As for Motorola, they kinda stopped doing phones after so many shit ones. I’m kinda glad they’re back, but I wouldn’t trust them, myself. As an iPhone guy who still likes Android, I’d mainly be looking at Samsung (it’s what I have now, it’s an old S10 that still rocks), though the Nothing 6+ or 6S or whatever it’s called, in green, is VERY tempting — if I needed a phone now, it’s what I would get. Even over another iPhone.
interesting how much would the flagship cost.
