Meh, I was never more tempted to buy one than when they actually looked like the old razr too. The 2019 model had that little ridge at the bottom, it looked nice! Or at the very least different.

I’m tried of everything looking nigh exactly the same, did we just give up on design after the iphone 6?

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.

I have a Verizon Razr+ 2023 (on an MVNO), and it’s now running Android 14.

Ask your service provider why they are holding back updates.

Edit: 14 fixed one of my annoying issues with this phone; the outer screen did not play nice with certain keyboards (I like Unexpected Keyboard). Now you can choose different keyboards for each screen.

It has nothing to do with service providers, we don’t all live in the US where you’re slaves to telcos.

My bad. Well, obviously Motorola has 14 configured and available for this device, so I don’t know what to tell you.

Luckily, my gov’t now forces providers to un-network-lock devices after a certain waiting period (60 days?), and the bootloader seems to be unlockable! I’m not feeling like a slave, just paying more for the phone than what I signed up for.

Edit: I’ll always trust Motorola over, say, Samsung, where the Galaxy S-whatever (US version) and the same name device (International version) even have a completely different processor!

You don’t have to tell me anything. We aren’t even using the same model of phone (please read my original comment again) so this whole “wELL i HaVe mY UpDaTe sO iT mUsT bE YoUr fAulT” thing you’re trying to do makes absolutely zero sense.

I wish the external display was e-ink.

Ive been burned took many times by hardware manufacturers not supporting their devices. I loved my Sony XA2, but they freaking tanked that thing.

I want to support Motorola, but if this thing is going to either stagnate or lost features on update then I can’t justify it.
