Even though I’ve very much enjoyed my time with the Motorola Razr+, there’s one thought that looms overhead. Motorola has recently been pretty bad at supporting newer versions of Android. The 2023 Motorola Edge+, for instance, was a fantastic device at launch. Unfortunately, it still runs Android 13 with no word on the promised Android 14.
As a reminder, Android 15 is about to be launched by Google.
So if the 2024 Motorola Razr+ launches with Android 14, when would Motorola upgrade it to Android 15? Well, it might be well after the version is actually launched and then sometime after other OEMs create individual versions and skins of it for certain devices. Motorola promises 3 years of updates, though it can’t be guaranteed that they’ll be timely.
I own one of the 2023 razr phones (razr 40) and the update experience has been abysmal. Motorola has not delivered on a single one of its promises around frequency or version upgrades. I guess this will only deteriorate further from here, now that there’s a newer phone out.
