Regarding longer software update promises, a good number of recent Motorola phones are on either the Android One or Android Enterprise Recommended lists, so they should get security updates for at least 3 years from launch and see at least 1 or 2 Android letter OS upgrades.
The Android Enterprise Recommended "rugged" devices get at least 5 years of security updates, which is quite good, although Motorola doesn't make any "rugged" devices currently.
Android is getting there and this announcement of factory repair parts through iFixit is awesome to see. It's probably not as easy to repair a Motorola phone as a Fairphone, but it's getting better which is the important part.
- woodrowbarlow 8y ago> Motorola doesn't make any "rugged" devices currently all of motorola's rugged phones are designed for firstnet (private, secure LTE for emergency responders). these are relatively repairable (removable battery, screws behind the battery) but i wouldn't hold my breath for consumer models. https://www.motorolasolutions.com/en_us/products/lte-user-devices/lexl11.html https://www.motorolasolutions.com/en_us/products/lte-user-de...
- bradfa 8y agoAh! You're right! But that's a different Motorola (arguably the "real" Motorola) that makes the rugged devices. However those rugged Motorola phones aren't on the Android Enterprise Recommended list. I'll correct myself to say that Motorola Mobility (Lenovo) don't make any "rugged" devices.
