The SoC appears to be a 7% CPU/GPU perf bump according to Qualcomm. No info on North American compatibility yet.

    Current fairphone owner, but my must have for my next phone is the ability to install Graphene.

    Without that, umtgoing to Motorola. Can’t even attempt to use e/os, as the installer won’t function on mine.

        I need to be able to run some play things for work, and Graphene has a sandbox ability that e/os and others don’t.

            I’ve got my own business, but need things for clients like Okta.

            I can buy a second phone, but really don’t want to have to carry it.

            Graphene lets you run Google Play, but stops it from having outsized permissions, so it can’t spy quite as well.

              I think one could achieve some of that by using Private Space where Play is allowed permissions while stripping its permissions in the main profile. That’s if you trust Android’s permission model.

                hmmm, I’m not familiar with Private Space - but if it comes from Android, then don’t trust it. The whole problem is that Google makes huge amounts of exceptions for Play Services, and then uses them to spy.

      I wouldn’t get my hopes up too much with motorola. They only mentioned the graphene collab like once in passing, and with how they’re managed these days they probably don’t even remember it.
