Motorola Signature 27 Gains GrapheneOS Support, Expanding Beyond Pixel for the First Time

3 articles · Updated · 9to5Google · Sep 24

Summary

  • GrapheneOS confirmed the Motorola Signature 27 as its first supported non-Pixel phone, with the device still expected to be sold preloaded with the privacy-focused Android variant.
  • The Signature 27’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset is seen as a key reason it can properly run GrapheneOS, which has so far stayed exclusive to Pixel hardware.
  • Motorola announced the Signature 27 earlier this week, but neither the phone’s exact release date nor the timing of GrapheneOS availability has been disclosed.
  • Future Motorola support is already planned: upcoming Razr flip and Razr Fold models are also expected to work with GrapheneOS, widening the project’s hardware reach.
