- GrapheneOS architecture limits attack surfaces and restricts background data access automatically
- Motorola to pair ThinkShield protections with GrapheneOS to strengthen smartphone security
- Google Pixel series remains the only officially supported hardware for GrapheneOS currently
Motorola has announced a new partnership with the GrapheneOS Foundation to explore a more secure approach to Android for business smartphones.
GrapheneOS is a privacy-focused operating system built on the Android Open Source Project.
Its architecture limits attack surfaces and restricts background data access, making it attractive for organizations that handle sensitive information.
GrapheneOS reduces vulnerabilities
By pairing this with Motorola’s existing security expertise and Lenovo’s ThinkShield protections, the partnership promises a foundation for smartphones designed from the ground up to resist attacks while remaining practical for enterprise use.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Motorola to bring GrapheneOS’s industry-leading privacy- and security-focused mobile operating system to its next-generation smartphone,” said a spokesperson at GrapheneOS.
“This collaboration marks a milestone in expanding the reach of GrapheneOS, and we applaud Motorola for taking this step toward advancing mobile security.”
Despite the optimism, Google Pixel devices remain the only officially supported hardware for GrapheneOS, and none of these phones currently qualify as enterprise-grade.
