    How would they guarantee the device hasn’t been tampered with? Sure you could use Auditor, but still…

      you probably can just reflash GOS on it manually, but for hardware or firmware backdoors/tampering, you are out of luck for any device really

    I have not had a mobile phone since the Snowden confirmation.

    GrapheneOS is the first thing to give me serious consideration of getting one [despite the remaining issues].

    Preinstalled devices, increases chance of a snap purchase.

    No? GOS said they’ll support them not that it’ll came preinstalled, ehy would Motorola go through the hassle of installing it?

          One obvious difference is that there will be official support for GrapheneOS from a hardware vendor. It also means a lot more people are likely to get these phones because most people aren’t going to buy a refurbished one just to get GrapheneOS. So, it moves it closer to the mainstream, and that would make it harder for Google to cut off store access as well.

    If it’s not preinstalled, I’m not buying it because there is a risk of injecting a virus along with its installation

      Why would you download the Graphene image from a place that might have viruses, instead of the official site?

        During that time you will have stock Android on your phone, which is Google, such an evil company. You can’t be sure that you won’t get any virus
