Don't generally recommend using wait for focus lock. You should just take a bunch of pictures instead. In practice, the use highest photo resolution toggle won't make a difference on Pixels yet since they always output images based on pixel binning even when asking for the full image sensor resolution. It would only make a difference when heavily zooming into the image or heavily cropping it but it would be nice if they added the necessary support to the camera hardware/HAL stack.

AOSP has support for flip and fold devices. We only need to do a small amount of special work for the Fold variants of Pixels.

What do you think about the moto razr ultra? We can realistically support their 2027 flip device.

It will be a specific subset of their devices with GrapheneOS support. The Motorola Signature (2026) and Motorola Razr Fold (2026) for recent devices which are close to meeting our requirements but not quite there. There's a lot of work to do for the next generation devices supporting GrapheneOS. We would have liked to support the 2026 devices but there wasn't enough time and Qualcomm's MTE support wasn't ready yet.

We're happy to announce a long-term partnership with Motorola. We're collaborating on future devices meeting our privacy and security standards with official GrapheneOS support. https://motorolanews.com/motorola-three-new-b2b-solutions-at-mwc-2026/

A dumb phone won't have any form of private/secure communication. You should phase out carrier-based calls and texts as much as you can. Use end-to-end encrypted messaging apps instead. Dumb phones also have atrocious security in practice despite having so few features. They're lacking basic security updates and protections. They also fully depend on cellular.

GrapheneOS has a large and rapidly growing userbase. Many people care about privacy and security who aren't misled into believing operating systems and hardware far worse at both than an iPhone are the answer. Instead of supporting devices not meeting bare minimum privacy and security standards, we're working on proper devices meeting our full requirements with an OEM partner. They're one of the largest smartphone companies and are announcing our partnership next month.

There's no near term plan to change it. We'll also still be using Matrix and Discord even if we start trying something new. We could eventually replace both in the very long term but we have a lot of requirements and it would be a slow transition to anything else. We probably wouldn't get rid of Discord but rather would be primarily replacing Matrix with another open source option but without federation.
