> Anyone who values Graphene's work will purchase one of their Motorola devices, whatever the cost
Well the current Motorola Signature (2026) is 3 times the price of a Pixel. Not everyone can afford "whatever the cost".
I hope Motorola will just get more and more phones to support GrapheneOS.
Here's a direct comparison with the Pixel 11:

That's the 16GB variant of the Signature. There's also a cheaper 12GB variant, which is particularly competitively priced in India:

For future readers: This is NOT a direct comparison. The Motorola linked is sold/shipped by a third party (KICKmobiles® London (Worldwide FedEx/DHL Shipping)). The Pixel, whilst a higher cost (£879 vs £795 for the motorola) is sold and shipped by Amazon directly.
And this distinction matters. You are able to hold Amazon to account for when/if things go wrong (CRA2015,S75,courts,etc). With the Signature, it's an import, consumers have vastly fewer rights, and there are no reviews of the product either (can you guess why?)
As Amazon is not directly selling the product (Amazon only facilitates the transaction but isn't the actual buyer or seller), enforcing any rights is going to be extremely difficult, if not impossible.
It's sad to see that point not acknowledged as it makes the Pixel vastly more attractive.
There is a more direct comparison on their own website which is £1,199.99 which is £320 more expensive than the Pixel. Your comparison is disingenuous and should be retracted in full as blatantly misleading.

I understand the sentiment, certainly, but the price difference depends a lot on which model we're comparing to. The Signature will be the flagship from Motorola, and I'll be very, very surprised if it's 3x the price of the Pixel flagship.
Presumably someone who was planning to buy something like the Pixel 10a would be more interested in the non-flagship Motorola devices with GOS support, which are expected to launch later.
