GrapheneOS Targets Motorola Support in 2027 as Qualcomm Adds 20-Try Security Limits
1 articles · Updated · Android Authority · Jul 27
Summary
GrapheneOS said Motorola phones remain on track for official support in 2027, marking its first expansion beyond Google Pixel devices.
Android 17’s secure element-backed passcode protection is the key requirement: it caps attempts at 20 and lengthens delays after repeated failures, making brute-force attacks far harder.
Qualcomm’s hardware security progress is what GrapheneOS says will let Motorola meet those standards, after years in which Pixel phones were the only Android devices qualifying.
Motorola and GrapheneOS announced a long-term partnership at MWC 2026, but the project still has not said whether support will come through a dedicated handset or broader model compatibility.
