Untrue. Motorola with GrapheneOS will still be degoogled. No clue where your idea comes from. Motorola is not even Google anymore.
I think they’re saying that the Motorola phones will have never had google, so they can’t have the sleeper trigger google leaves behind when it has been removed from a phone. I don’t know if the Motorola phones will have the google app store or any other google apps preinstalled, though.
I don't really understand. Motorola phones have and will come with Google play. There will just be official support for GOS. That could mean two things: you have to flash it yourself or you could get it preinstalled. Either way I don't see how the first part changes.
Then that’s cleared up :)
I didn’t know that they would have the google play store installed, so either I interpreted them wrong or they also didn’t know that.
Ah well I wouldn't assume every Motorola from now on comes with GOS. And if you have the option then it'd be lacking the play store by default of course.
