    GrapheneOS won’t be coming to any existing Motorolas due to hardware security requirements.

    I highly recommend not getting Razrs. Not sure if the competition’s folding phones are any more durable, but my family’s Razr+s all lasted less than two years even with cases. I dropped mine 15cm onto a padded car floor while unfolded and that’s all it took to get superbright vertical lines through the screen.

      I frickin love my razr. I’d get another in a heartbeat even if the screen cracked at the bend. But I’ve used it for almost 2 years now and it’s been fine, and I’m not easy on phones . I’d just love to have a custom rom.

        Razr+ 2023 has ROMs. Newer Razrs have Dimensity processors that never seem to get open-source support; I think because MediaTek doesn’t release much documentation.

        We liked ours but they were both the most expensive and most fragile we’ve had. On mine, the seam was even still almost invisible! My wife’s… had the protector completely cracked and lifting at the seam.

          Thanks for the link, I checked when I first got it and didn’t find anything vaguely mature at the time, but I don’t think I knew enough at the time to look under the 40 Ultra.
