Considering the Moto X (on Verizon even) was the first non-Nexus phone to receive an upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4, I would assume it means that the Moto E will get whatever major release comes out after 4.4.
But I would also be willing to bet that the wording is intentionally vague such that if Android 5.0 comes out next, and makes it "impossible" to upgrade, that the lawyers will be happy with just a single security/bugfix update.
- r00fus 12y agoWhy would Android 5.0 be impossible to upgrade? Looking at it from the Apple side of things, where each phone gets 2-3 years of OS updates, "at least one" seems paltry in comparison. When you say "impossible", I see "cost prohibitive" - i.e., they can't sell a phone at this price if they want to support drivers and a newer OS for more than one release.
- nuclear_eclipse 12y agoI guess it was a bit tongue-in-cheek, and meant more that "if the Android team all of a sudden re-architects the entire platform", then they have a way out. In all likelihood, any Android 5.0 release will continue to be an incremental upgrade of the Android platform. But lawyers don't like committing to anything.
