I very seriously doubt this happens, but it would be incredibly amazing if it was the Moto G line of devices. Absolute premium specs are not needed to get a great experience on operating systems that don't have Google spy services.

    The actual functional difference between a cheap "value" phone and a premium "flagship" phone has never been smaller than it is today. There was a time when you actually got different capabilities, actual real-world performance improvements, and longer battery life. Now the cheap phones sometimes offer BETTER features (notably, battery life) because they aren't running as much stupid bullshit that you don't want.

    When GOS first announced this several months ago, they also announced it would be a flagship chipset. Plus Motorola will be losing a lot of money by opting out of data mining. So I expect it will be expensive.

    Nice to have options but I expect I'll be sticking to Pixels.

    Yeah, I was talking with somebody about it, and they think it will be a device that will cost something like 3.3 Monero. That's a lot more than I want to spend considering I can get a pixel A series for something like 1.5 Monero, or if I don't want to go with graphene, I can get the Motorola Moto G 2024 and put Lineage OS on it for like 0.4 Monero.
