I must say that Motorola really has some great products to offer. I was recently looking for a cheap replacement for my old Android phone and found the Moto G7 Power, which is awesome in my eyes. No bullshit stock android, a nice large screen and it runs on a single charge more than 6 days in my case [1]. It's crazy.

The camera is bad though, but that's one of the reasons why smart phones get more expensive each year. I won't buy into this ultra-resolution, low-light, AI photo craze.

IMO they should focus on that low-price segment and they will own the market. I don't see any value in foldable screen gimmicks.

The problem with Motorola is the complete lack of software support. I have a G5+ and Motorola announced in March that it will not receive security updates anymore. That's just two years after the phone's release. It seems that Motorola doesn't care about software at all. The security patch level of my G5+ has been out of date by several months for practically all of the phone's life.

Most Android OEMs stop updating their phones after 2 years, no? That's not a problem exclusive to Motorola.

All Android One phones get security updates for at least three years. Samsung decreases the frequency of security updates after two years, but still provides some. Google updates its phones for quite a bit longer. Of all the phones I've had, Motorola has been the worst by far with respect to updates.
