One again Motorola gets shafted. No mention of the motorola thinkphone, which regularly goes on sale for $500 or less, and has a snapdragon 8 gen 1+, along with a 5000 mhz battery and 120hz display. Or the moto G stylus, which for $350 blows the other phones in its price category away with better battery life and a snapdragon as opposed to a xeynos. The 2024 moto g power comes with 8 GB of RAM and a headphone jack for $300.

Peeps in the comments who are asking about Motorola - they don't keep their software up to date. They never have. Go all the way back to when the Android Update Alliance was signed: Motorola had their Atrix 4G. They updated it once, 3 months after release, and never again.
Motorola's entire brand strategy has been to release an unsupportable number of models. At times, Motorola has over 30 models of phones out, within a reasonable update period, at a time, and none of them are supported with software updates.
IF Motorola decided to reduce the number of models they released down to 3, and supported it, and continued that policy for 3+ consecutive years, then I'll reconsider my position. So far they haven't

Motorola G devices receive 3 years of security updates, 4 if you buy the thinkphone, and last year announced they would be doing 4 years of security updates across the board. It's not 2011 anymore, The Alliance you quote was nearly 14 years ago, time to bring yourself up to speed.

My daughter has the Nokia 6300 and man it really says something about the feature phone market that it's considered the best of the bunch.
It's just hot garbage, and not because it isn't a smartphone. Terrible battery life (only lasts about a day or two), gawd awfully slow performance, kai OS is obtuse trash that is difficult to navigate.
Give those of us that are buying a feature phone for it's lack of features a good, long lived, performant option for $99 instead of some bottom bin trash for $69.

I'm not sure what you're referring to. My old G73 device is up to date with all the latest updates. In fact, back in February, I even updated it to Android 14.
Motorola has very decent devices, and relatively clean software.
