The biggest downside of owning a good Android device (like a powerful Motorola that is a few years old); Is Moto abandons updates after 2 years (so if you buy a 1 year old phone ...), and then the phone might get one additional major AOSP update from an awesome developer on XDA. Later that developer burns out. No more security updates. And definitely no more major updates. :(
- CydeWeys 6y agoThe "a" series Pixels (or other phones in that same feature/performance/price bracket) are increasingly seeming like the best value for money for this reason. I too just can't find the value in buying a $1k phone that's not gonna last any longer than a $350 phone, maybe even less time.
