Frequently asked
How long will the Motorola Edge 60 get updates?
Motorola committed to 2 OS upgrades and 3 years of security patches, so estimated end of support is around April 2028.
How durable is the Motorola Edge 60?
It carries IP68/IP69 ratings and MIL-STD-810H certification, making it more rugged than most mid-range phones.
When does the Moto G Stylus (2026) stop getting updates?
Motorola promises two major Android upgrades and three years of security patches from its April 2026 release, so security coverage ends around April 2029. That's a standard upgrade cycle but well behind the six-plus years some rivals offer, so factor it in if you plan to keep the phone a long time.
Is the stylus on the Moto G Stylus (2026) actually good?
It's a major leap over past models. The 2026 pen is a genuine active stylus with pressure and tilt sensitivity and a tiny rechargeable battery, so writing and drawing feel far more natural. It docks in the body, and a button opens a floating menu for quick notes, screenshots and Circle to Search.
