FrChazzz comments on Motorola Signature 27 with GrapheneOS will cost €1.900

Hear! Hear! I was excited about the prospect of a Razr with Graphene, but then I saw the news about both costs (and also that foldables just kinda suck in terms of longevity). I was kind of between a Nothing 4a Pro and the Fairphone 6+ with /e/OS. I'm sold on the latter. The Nothing has a cool design, but it's still pretty locked-in on Android and a bunch of AI crap (even though it seems minuscule and optional). The idea of a completely repairable phone appeals to me. Plus I can print a clear plastic back cover for the thing to re-live the glory days of my clear teal and purple Motorola pager.

Yeah, the Nothing Phone looks cool as hell, but... that's basically all it has going for it lol. The AI features were also an ick move, just the fact they decided to go in that direction was enough to scare me away, since that was one of the things I'm looking to escape from with my current Google/Samsung phone (piss off, Bixby). I especially found it ironic given the Nothing Phone's whole minimalist design philosophy.

Tbf I think they’re basically taking fairly generic algorithmic models for photo editing and voice-to-text and slapping the “AI” moniker on them for marketing/funding purposes. I played with a 4a Pro at Best Buy the other day and the “AI” seemed about par for the course with what my iPhone 16 has (I’ve not updated to iOS27). The option to add Gemini and stuff was there, of course, but the “essentials” stuff was basic.

The Glyph is cool. But not enough to get me on board. It just felt like I was given a veneer of something different but once you get past NothingOS it’s really just Google all the way down.
