Miscellaneous
This is a solid list at first glance, but it doesn’t take long to realize that plenty of phones are missing. These devices include a host of Moto G 2023 models, the Motorola Edge 2023, and Moto G 2022 phones. But the most notable omission might be the Moto G Play 2024, which only launched in January. The device launched with Android 13 but only received Android 14 earlier this month.
For what it’s worth, Motorola has recently upped its update game in some areas. Most notably, the company announced the mid-tier Edge 50 Neo last month, featuring five major OS updates and five years of security patches. But it really needs to step up with its Moto G phones as these have long offered woeful commitments of just one major update for the most part. By contrast, Samsung just launched the Galaxy A16, featuring six years of OS and security updates, while it’s earlier budget phones offer four major OS updates and five years of security patches.
