Though I agree with you on principle for other manufacturers, Samsung being one of the worst, this is a funny criticism for Motorolla. They have bucked the trend in that they run a near vanilla Android and the add ons they have are largely userland apps so they rev with Android very quickly indeed, not much behind Nexus's.
Certainly if you get the "pure" version of the X then you'll be good to go for a while. They have an excellent track record on unlocked Moto G's and even E's so far. Carrier 'locked' phones may have different schedules though, on this you are right.
- drzaiusapelord 12y agoActually Motorola's older Android "blur" phones were known for their lack of updates. Its only now that Google owns Motorola that we're seeing this lighter OEM skin and better update policy. This is great, except Lenovo is soon going to own Motorola. So now we're going to see how that company's culture changes things and what they feel is an appropriate update schedule. As someone who buys dozens of Lenovos a year for work and immediately wipes the crapware filled factory partition for our own image, I don't really see them as forward thinking as a google-owned property is.
