How long do Motorola phones get updates?

3 OS upgrades + 4 years of security updates (Razr / Edge flagships)Official

Motorola's support is steeply tiered and, in its own words, an estimate rather than a binding commitment. Its 2024-onward Razr and Edge flagships get three Android upgrades and four years of security; the mainstream US Edge is shorter at roughly two upgrades and three years; and budget moto g phones get the least — often a single OS upgrade and up to three years of patches. Always check the specific model, because a cheap moto g ages out years before a Razr bought the same year.
