Motorola announces a partnership with GrapheneOS Foundation, marking a new chapter in smartphone security and expanding its enterprise portfolio​


Motorola, a Lenovo Company, announced the addition of new consumer and enterprise solutions to its portfolio today at Mobile World Congress. The company unveiled a partnership with the GrapheneOS Foundation, to bring cutting-edge security to everyday users across the globe. In addition, Motorola introduced a new Moto Secure feature and Moto Analytics, to expand Motorola’s B2B ecosystem with advanced security and deeper operational insights for organizations across industries. These announcements reinforce Motorola’s commitment to delivering intelligent, and highly capable technology with enhanced security for customers worldwide.

GrapheneOS Foundation Partnership
Motorola is introducing a new era of smartphone security through a long‑term partnership with the GrapheneOS Foundation, the leading nonprofit in advanced mobile security and creators of a hardened, operating system based on the Android Open Source Project. Together, Motorola and the GrapheneOS Foundation will work to strengthen smartphone security and collaborate on future devices engineered with GrapheneOS compatibility.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Motorola to bring GrapheneOS’s industry‑leading privacy and security‑focused mobile operating system to their next-generation smartphone”, said a spokesperson at GrapheneOS. “This collaboration marks a significant milestone in expanding the reach of GrapheneOS, and we applaud Motorola for taking this meaningful step towards advancing mobile security.”

By combining GrapheneOS’s pioneering engineering with Motorola’s decades of security expertise, real‑world user insights, and Lenovo’s ThinkShield solutions, the collaboration will advance a new generation of privacy and security technologies. In the coming months, Motorola and the GrapheneOS Foundation will continue to collaborate on joint research, software enhancements, and new security capabilities, with more details and solutions to roll out as the partnership evolves.

Moto Analytics
Today, Motorola also introduced Moto Analytics, an enterprise‑grade analytics platform designed to give IT administrators real‑time visibility into device performance across their fleet. Unlike traditional EMM tools that focus primarily on access control, Moto Analytics provides deep operational insights, from app stability to battery health and connectivity performance.

With this data, IT teams can troubleshoot more efficiently, prevent issues before they escalate, and maintain employee productivity. As part of the ThinkShield ecosystem, Moto Analytics integrates seamlessly with existing enterprise environments and scales effortlessly as organizations grow.

Private Image Data
Motorola is also expanding its Moto Secure platform with a new feature, Private Image Data. This tool gives users greater control over the hidden data stored in their photos. When enabled, it automatically removes sensitive metadata from all new camera images on the device, helping protect details like location and device information. This protection runs quietly in the background, preserving the image itself while clearing some of the private data attached to it.

Private Image Data joins a growing set of protections within the Moto Secure app, Motorola’s central hub for essential privacy and security tools powered by ThinkShield. From managing app permissions to securing sensitive files and monitoring device integrity, Moto Secure brings key Android and Motorola safeguards together in one place, making it easier for users to understand and manage their device’s security.

Private Image Data will begin rolling out to motorola signature devices in the coming months, with additional updates and refinements expected over time.

With the introduction of these new solutions, Motorola is expanding its enterprise portfolio with solutions built for today’s most demanding business environments. From advanced security to operational efficiency and intelligent device management, these innovations reflect Motorola’s commitment to empowering organizations with technology that is security-focused, reliable, and ready for the future.

Saved by Lenovo. And thank goodness for that. And this announcement. Felt so weird using an OS like Graphene on Google phones.

Lenovo seem to be super when it comes to hackable hardware such as to install core or libreboot. Very good company for the Open Source community.
 
Yeppp, been waiting for this! I soooo want Graphene but I don't really want to buy a Pixel

Oh really, Lenovo owns it now? Wooow, that's a 2nd best thing after Dell. Nice. Writing this on a Nokia lol, but mfuckers try really hard to make their phones non-rootable.

I think they will be targeting the high end range cause they know people that can afford iphones and galaxies will be inclined to buy those rather than high end motorolas given a choice, so they have got a niche market here knowing people that want Graphene will cough up the extra dough for it.

Whereas those people that can't afford iphones or fancy androids will continue buying their low end range. Cheapest Motorola smartphone here is like $50 lol. Best of both worlds for them.
