GrapheneOS support coming to Motorola Razr Fold & Ultra next year, Pixel 11 series too

GrapheneOS is set to arrive in a new Motorola smartphone next year, but it won’t just be a single slab, as the privacy-focused version of Android will also support future versions of the Razr Fold and Razr Ultra, with Pixel 11 support also coming.

GrapheneOS support coming to Motorola Razr Fold & Ultra next year, Pixel 11 series too

GrapheneOS, a privacy-focused version of Android, will be available on Motorola Razr Fold, Razr Ultra, and Pixel 11 series smartphones next year. According to a post on Mastodon, the initial focus of GrapheneOS' partnership with Motorola is on the regular non-folding device, with plans to support the Razr Fold and Razr Ultra foldable models.

This would make the Razr Ultra the first flip form factor supported by GrapheneOS. Pixel 11 Pro Fold will also receive support alongside Google's latest generation of devices. The company has already supported the original Pixel Fold (Pixel 7), as well as the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. GrapheneOS aims to provide a tiny phone for one-handed use in its folded form factor, while the tablet-style folding devices are useful for web browsing, reading, and maps.

The 2026 versions of Razr Fold and Razr Ultra are close to meeting the requirements for GrapheneOS, but lack memory tagging (MTE) and secure element integration. These features are planned to be integrated into Motorola's 2027 releases, with new Qualcomm Snapdragon chips expected to have better support for MTE. Motorola will provide 7 years of OS updates for devices running GrapheneOS, with the company directly contributing to the privacy-focused experience.
