This doesn't contradict anything. Motorola Trademark Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of Motorola Mobility, not Motorola Solutions. It's not Motorola Solutions which owns the trademarks but rather Motorola Mobility. Motorola Solutions has a limited license to use the trademarks in certain fields where they had existing products. Lenovo can freely use the trademarks for anything they want including fields where Motorola Solutions uses them. Read the linked SEC filing.

This is the new GrapheneOS boot animation. It's generated frame-by-frame using a script. It has a minimum 3.5s total runtime for the intro including a small pause. The rest of the animation gets interrupted once the device is booted to avoid any delay so there can't be an outro.

We're aware of claims spread on German social media about GrapheneOS being exploited. We looked into it in case there was substance behind it. OS and hardware security isn't actually much of a factor in the story. Instead, the central claim is disk encryption with a strong passphrase can be cracked.

We have good news about the Pixel 11. It still has at least bare minimum support for MTE at a hardware level. We think they removed most of the hardware acceleration from the CPU cache to save money. They ruined the performance so it ended up being fully disabled in firmware. It may still be usable.

Near the end of May 2026, Russia began filtering access to DataPacket IP space with an enforced domain allowlist for HTTP and TLS SNI. GrapheneOS services aren't on the allowlist so we had to switch from DataPacket Frankfurt to Cherry Servers Amsterdam for Russia. That's now getting filtered too.

We have a partial port of GrapheneOS to the Pixel 11 series after a week of work on it. We're unable to complete the port due to lack of support for ARM hardware memory tagging in software, firmware and near certainly hardware. It appears Google cut an important security feature to save money.
