It’s not as though Motorola doesn’t offer support for the device. The company confirmed that it would offer “three major Android updates and four years of security patches” over the course of Razr+’s lifespan, but it’s clear that customers will be left waiting for any major updates.

It also promised at least bi-monthly updates for the 2023 razr line, another area in which it has failed to deliver. My razr 40 is still stuck on the February security update. Before that it was stuck on the November security update until the middle of March. This is the first time I've owned a Motorola phone so whilst I knew they had a bad reputation for support, I was clearly a bit naive. I never imagined they would be so far behind within the first year of release.

I mean at least you never had a Moto X on Republic Wireless 😅.

Even worse, unlocking the bootloaders isn't supported anymore since the edge 30. That was the reason why I got an edge 20, so I could use it much longer. So either they deliver longer updates on the edge 50, or I'm going to switch to the fairphone at some point.
