Title: Do not buy the Motorola Razr 5G if you want regular software updates
Post by: Redaktion on February 09, 2021, 17:56:19
The Razr 5G may combine nostalgia with a compelling design, but Motorola is letting it down with awful software support. With a vague promise of Android 11 at some point this year and six-month-old security patches, the Razr 5G is a tough sell at US$1,200.

I absolutely love my Razr 5g. I received an update in December. You may want to contact Lenovo about your update being stuck on the Aug update. That or maybe you're just trying to direct sales to that galaxy flip link instead. Which if you're a fan of the Razr, you know that the external screen is the best part of a flip. So that will be a hard pass on that Galaxy flip.

All moto phones r like this. It is a fine thing because moto android is so simple, and less updating means less glitches. :-\ I've had moto g, moto Z play, and moto Z4 experience has been the same with all 3.

Photography on Motorola phones is terrible, a dealbreaker for most people.

If you want to buy a Motorola phone, buy an extremely cheap one. Don't care about photography, don't care about specs, just need to have a decent battery life, okay build quality and basic functionalities.

No one should pay more than US$400 for a Motorola phone.

Mine was updated in December. Seems like a real journalist would have done a little bit of research before making a sweeping statement.

Same here, got the December update. Are you sure it's not a particular issue with your device?

I love my Motorola razr 5G. Like some of your other commenters I've had Motorola since the original Droid and I've loved each and every single one of them. While it's cool to have Android 11 it's not a deal breaker for me. Most people couldn't tell you what version of Android they have nor do they really care. As far as your comment about Motorola cameras you are a mistaken. Maybe it's the person taking the photo and not the camera itself. Pics taken with my Moto z3 and the Hasselblad Moto mod have helped me win photo competitions against big DSLR cameras. Just sounds to me like you're negative on Motorola and that's too bad.
