GrapheneOS Will Support Motorola Foldables Starting in 2027
GrapheneOS will support Motorola foldable phones—the Signature, Razr Ultra, and Razr Fold—starting in 2027.
Why it matters: Secure mobile platforms like GrapheneOS help legal teams protect sensitive client data and meet compliance obligations. Expanding beyond Pixel devices increases device options for secure legal workflows.
- Support begins with Motorola’s Signature, Razr Ultra, and Razr Fold foldables in 2027.
- Motorola assigns engineers to aid GrapheneOS software adaptation and ongoing maintenance.
- GrapheneOS promises seven years of security and software updates for supported Motorola phones.
- Partnership unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2026, marking first expansion beyond Pixel devices.
GrapheneOS, an open-source Android distribution focused on privacy and security, announced plans to support Motorola foldable smartphones starting in 2027. This marks a significant expansion beyond its previous exclusive support of Google Pixel devices, which was limited by strict hardware security needs.
The initial devices receiving support will be Motorola’s flagship foldables: the Signature, Razr Ultra, and Razr Fold. GrapheneOS will bring its robust privacy features to these Motorola devices, which traditionally shipped with standard Android versions.
Motorola is actively supporting the effort by dedicating engineers to assist with adapting (or "porting") GrapheneOS software to these devices and ensuring ongoing maintenance. This collaboration was first revealed at Mobile World Congress 2026.
A key feature of this support is GrapheneOS’s commitment to providing seven years of security and software updates for these Motorola foldables, matching the support timeline it offers for Google Pixel phones. Such long-term updates are critical for legal professionals who need durable, secure devices that protect sensitive client information and meet data privacy regulations.
The expansion became possible due to advances in Motorola’s hardware security features and updated Qualcomm chipsets expected in 2027 devices. While these phones will not ship with GrapheneOS pre-installed, full support will be available shortly after release.
This development broadens the options for legal and compliance teams seeking high-security mobile platforms. By increasing the range of supported devices, GrapheneOS helps address diverse user needs across different hardware brands while maintaining strong privacy protections essential for handling confidential legal data.
By the numbers:
- 7 years — committed software and security update support for Motorola foldables
- 2027 — year GrapheneOS support for Motorola foldables begins
- 3 models — Signature, Razr Ultra, and Razr Fold initially supported
Yes, but: GrapheneOS devices currently have limited market share compared to mainstream Android, and Motorola foldables won’t come with the OS pre-installed, requiring users to install it themselves.
What's next: Monitoring how Motorola and GrapheneOS collaborate during 2027 device launches will reveal implementation smoothness and legal workflow impacts.
