Then buy Pixel A series, it has none of those cons. And I'd say at that price point, Tensor isn't even a bad processor.
Needing an account to unlock the bootloader is a real bummer. I can live with issues 1 and 3. Thanks for the notes.
Last time a custom Android distro (CyanogenMod) made a deal with a manufacturer, everything went belly-up. I have little faith that the same won't happen again. :-(
Summary:<p>- The Motorola flagship costs too much and he's worried it will no longer run on the Pixel 7a that he got for $200 or that there will be any cheap options.<p>But they said already there would be cheap options, and Motorola has a Moto G series that it would likely use.<p>- Worried about other stuff that existing Motorola Android phones do, like privacy violations.<p>...that definitely won't be in GrapheneOS, they wouldn't allow it.<p>- More things Motorola does as a company that are bad.<p>The current option being Google means, despite that, Motorola is probably better.
tl;dr:<p>- GrapheneOS is only supported on Motorola's flagship devices, which the author deems too expensive<p>- Motorola historically has made unlocking the bootloader difficult, and GrapheneOS has not yet confirmed that this will become easier.<p>- The author does not trust Motorola.
