Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~3-year update track record — on that basis the Moto G62 5G should be supported until around July 2025. Buying it today still gets you about -1.0 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).

Frequently asked questions

How long will the Moto G62 5G get updates?

Released in mid-2022 on Android 12, it received one Android upgrade and about three years of security patches, so its support has lapsed in 2025.

Does the Moto G62 have a sharp screen?

Yes. Unlike many budget Motos it uses a full-HD+ (1080 x 2400) panel at 120Hz, so it is both sharp and smooth.

How fast does the Moto G62 charge?

It tops out at 15W wired charging, which is slow for the segment; expect a full charge to take well over two hours.
