That is not what I experience on ThinkPhone. I get monthly security updates for about two years now.

Maybe it is an exception? I'm in EU if that matters.

And Motorola is almost free of bloatware. It is practically a stock Android.

The ThinkPhone is an exception, yeah. It’s similar to older Android One phones like their Moto X4. Not different because you are in EU, US models get same treatment.

The razr and edge lines do not get as reliable monthly updates and ship with bloatware.

My girlfriend had one of the Moto Play models from 2020 and it was horrific. Is their Android setup really any better these days?

		I think it's highly dependent on the product line. My previous two phones were the Moto One which had very minimal bloat or customization.

not any longer. My edge 70 required weeks to uninstall bloatware, taboola and all that crap. Eventually settled with netguard to kill any non approved outgoing connection. It has been a real pain. Changed my view on moto completely. I have been a happy user of a Motorola one for 6 years...

		I think pixel phones get 7 years of updates now? That seems about right. If the battery doesn't go by then, the GPS does. It is weird to me that the gps fails first.

According to Reddit, that Thinkphone seems to be an exception to Motorola's poor update reputation.
