Awesome to see more options coming out with these alternative operating systems.
Article won’t let you read it without agreeing to cookies, article not read.
Archive.ph to the rescue…
Link.
Honestly, you shouldn’t rely on those prompts anyways… Cookies can be used for both good and evil. But in either case, those stupid prompts cause a lot of fatigue and are practically useless.
I have a plugin to always allow cookies, and another plugin to always get rid of the cookies I don’t explicitly persist (auth/session for frequent sites)
It’s better this way.
I like how they mentioned “high-end” repeatedly in the article.
Edit: No headphone jack and no sd card slot. The former is not a deal breaker but the latter is, for me. Plus all those cameras in the back.
It’s how you know it won’t be repairable.
It’s about as repairable as existing GOS compatible phones, at least.
Nice. Phone should release by the end of the year and GOS support by next year. Hopefully in the beginning.
Gives some time to save up for the huge price tag, but I’ll be very happy to get rid of my pixel. It served me well over the years.
Tbh, I’m gonna go with a Pixel fold. It’s cheaper, plus I use a fair amoubt of FDroid apps that refuse to get verified by Google (which is a decision I support). That means I need a GOS phone before the end of the year, and the Motorola offering won’t be ready by then
If it helps, you can still install the apps after the one annoying 24 hours wait. Not defending google here, just for you to not rush in the decision of you thought there’s a hard time limit.
For now. Google plans to disable unverified apps entirely eventually
Source? Or just a theory?
You didn’t read it you didn’t understand, because that’s not what they say.
Got it. You’re an asshole that just dismisses things out of hand.
this still ain’t it. It will take at least user expandable storage to make me move. Or a real linux phone that doesn’t suck in the myriad ways all the current options seem to.
Yeah, a used pixel costs less. Until that’s no longer viable, it isn’t really any better by virtue of being a different company beyond it being a different company getting sales.
I switched to Motorola after getting sick of my expensive Samsung phones always dying after 2-3 years. Best damn phone I have ever had is my current cheap-ass Moto Edge 30. It has been surprisingly easy to repair too - I recently replaced the USB port on it very easily. Can’t wait to get a Motorola that can also run Graphene.
Also… why does it need 4 cameras plus whatever that fifth hole is?
Some people are apparently obsessed with taking pictures, but not enough to get an actually good camera
If only one sensor is LOFIC, it would be better just to crop that shot in, though?
I’d kinda get 3 sensors. ~20mm, ~35mm, ~100mm equivalent. But 4+ is just splitting hairs. What’s the ostensible benefit?
And also, most people don’t even know dedicated cameras are still sold, these days… And to be fair, one’s significantly better than phones are kinda pricey.
Some people are obsessed with taking photos but not enough to learn what the fifth hole does.
This is so cool, I can’t wait to migrate off of iOS and all the required AI, client-side scanning, and “safety” coprocessor nonsense.
LOFIC is huge deal. This is the biggest jump in sensor tech in a decade+.
But it also means the sensor can get away with a single shot, instead of having to stack multiple exposures (which normally requires sophisticated processing voodoo via an app like Gcam). So this should make the stock Graphene camera app dramatically better.
