An internal Motorola presentation leak appears to confirm a GrapheneOS partnership for non-Pixel hardware, with an official announcement likely at MWC 2026.
A functional NFC payment check would be welcome. Hoping Motorola would have the pull to implement that either by getting Google Wallet’s blessing or forcing them to. I really don’t see why it is not considered a monopolistic practice since it gives Googles official OS an unfair advantage.
That’s the thing - Android is not Googles official/private OS. They just help maintain it. In their distribution, they ship it with Google products. The EU is strongly against this practice, why there is a EU version without preinstalled apps. The maker of the phone then has to solve the problem of how to solve certain problems. Samsung solved it by providing their own wallet solution. Motorola would have to do the same.
Moto G Stylus is pretty crazy in that it has all that plus a stylus. Now something like that with GrapheneOS and long term support would make it amazing.
Dear Santa…
That’s all I want. Thank you.

I would also take a headphone jack if we could swing that.
And sd card.

Have it running LineageOS but would switch if an image comes through.
This is my grown up Christmas list
