    Yah… Thats too much, if they cut that in half I would ignore it not being up to the repairability standards of fairphone, but if I cant expect that device to last 10 years then ill just wait for the next one…

      As someone whos grew up on iPhones this feels reasonable for a high end product…

        Reasonable is $900. Just because apple made a $2000 phone doesn’t mean everyone does.

          I had a Nexus 4 for $300 way back when, and that was mighty premium enough. We’re all getting screwed and there is no savior. The water has been boiling for over a decade.

            My current phone cost $500 and it’s more than powerful & capable enough. Android sucks to use but other than that I have no idea why anyone would get anything more expensive unless they need some really good camera.

    I’ve always been a fan of Motorola - my current phone is the Edge plus and is 3 years old. Had to replace the battery but otherwise a solid phone. My phone budget has been as high as $500 but will never exceed that. 2k for a phone in this economy is beyond unacceptable. Its moronic. Still a phone and nothing special - just incremental improvements. I dont see this selling.

    Oh my damn. I expected something expensive, but this is just way above what I expected.

    The Graphene developers did say that future plans could entail even broader Motorola support from GrapheneOS, for cheaper models too. Let’s hope this will be the case…

    Wow, this is really disappointing. I’ve been waiting for this to upgrade my older phone and finally get on GrapheneOS without using a Pixel. This is just straight up unaffordable for a large majority of the population. Shame on Motorola and Lenovo for this price point. Did you even try to read the room? Maybe someone will release a cheaper GrapheneOS phone next year. I’m sick of waiting for something reasonable to show up.

    Where is it getting 1900 euros from? I’m seeing news saying it’s priced at 1600 USD which is around 1400 euros, not 1900.

    Obviously still a steep price but thats 500 euros different.

    Outside of price point, this is the first time I think I’ve seen a phone have 7000 mah battery. Thats like tablet levels of battery life which is kinda insane.

    Personally, I already balked at the size of the screen (~6.8"). The ridiculous price is just the final nail in the coffin.

      Mini tablets were 7 inches.

      It’s ridiculous; how am I meant to fit something half the size of my dick in my pocket?

      Yikes, I hadn’t looked into the screen size until you mentioned it. They seem to be going after the XL / tablet size type of devices, exactly the ones that I avoid. Oh well, maybe they’ll eventually release a phone with a more normal screen size closer to 6.3".

        Couldn’t agree more. I’m currently on the Pixel 6a, and in spite of having perfectly average-sized hands, I feel its 6.1" display is unwieldy. 6.8" is just bonkers.

    Not paying more than €700 for anything with a bump that big.

    A phone that is >10mm thick in 2026 for €1400-1900? No SD card slot? No 3.5mm port?

    Fuck off ahaha, what are we even paying for?!
