Well there will be custom roms of android l for sure
oh guys c'mon already -.- please stop asking the support. the support actually does not know anything related to android L update. some of theem said we will get the android L update and other support members said we won't get the update. they don't know anything.
you can expect that our old moto g will be upgraded to android L
watch this and skip to 21:00 minutes, Steve Sinclair will say that people who got the older devices can expect the android L update for Moto X and Moto G aswell

False! The french service confirmed to me the Android L update yesterday for Moto G 1, 2, 4G LTE, X, X2 and maybe E..
OMG people, I worked as a HP support assistant and in the support nobody knows anything about future steps by it's company.. they ONLY know that what is actually happening. But they must reply, so if Motorola supprot haven't recieved an information about L update on Moto G 2013, they are supposed to tell you that Moto G will not be updated in this time. But that doesn't mean anything. That only mean that they have not recieved shedule for an update yet. And only high chairs in motorola knows if there ever be shedule for an update to L.
but if Steven Sinclair (software product manager for motorola mobility) said:
Also as you look to past versions of Moto X, Moto G, you can expect there will be... we'll be looking on that upgrade to L as well.

Then you can expect the update and since nobody more competent than him doesn't tell anything about Moto G and update, then his words are final and stop the dabate.

They might leave the 2013 dual sim moto g on 4.4.4.These markets need to be milked, so I would say that the XT1033 might skip Android "L" for good.
But no fear men, there are plenty of alternatives out there that will provide L.
Android L Upgrade confirmed for Moto E, Moto X, and Moto G
Motorola has officially confirmed the Android L upgrade for the Moto E, Moto G (1st and 2nd generation), and Moto X (1st and 2nd Generation).

Motorola has officially promised the Android L upgrade for the Moto E, Moto G (1st and 2nd generation), and Moto X (1st and 2nd Generation).
Indirect evidence (of Motorola making the promise) here:
www.androidmagnified.com/android-l-update-moto-e-moto-g-moto-x
More direct evidence (of Motorola making the promise) here:
http://www.motorola-blog.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/nexus-6-from-google-and-motorola-more.html
Remain to be seen if the promise will be fulfilled. I expect that it will but...
Promise? What promise? Remember Motorola is still part of Google, at least until sometime next year, probably early 2015. Then it gets handed over to Lenovo when the deal closes. It's official, all these phones are getting the lollipop upgrade. Every GPE device is getting it too, including the first generation G, "in the following weeks".
Android 5.0 Lollipop, which comes on Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and Nexus Player, will also be available on Nexus 4, 5, 7, 10 and Google Play edition devices in the coming weeks.

Once it gets released (you can flash the GPE update by then) then it is time for motorola themselves to do the update to their own phones, which will be done fast and rolled out fast (if you bought retail) because of little to no bloat added. No need to talk about potential updates and take that update roadmap page with a pinch of salt because it's still Google you're talking about here.
They'll obviously do it for the 2014 G, which is essentially the same phone as the 2013 G, except the camera module/misc features. Both use the same SoC in a different chassis... They do the work for one, it's done for the other. Just sit back, relax, and flash GPE / wait for that system upgrade notification in a month or two. This is Google's Motorola, not Samsung...

Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, not TI OMAP 4460
The galaxy nexus was a special case because it used a TI OMAP SoC which became unsupported as TI decided to exit the chipset market (2012), AFAIK Kitkat introduced changes that required new drivers, and the cost/benefit of that was probably not feasible for google/samsung to bear. What would you do if your SoC provider just shuts down its operations?
All the other phones mentioned in their announcements use current chipsets and their companies are healthy and working, it's apples and oranges. So, just sit, relax, and wait for that upgrade notification.

As my original post mentions, I expect Android L will be released for the Moto G and the others. How long before CM12 surfaces is anyone's guess...
Sorry, I thought we were talking about why the Gnex didn't officially get kitkat, because there was an external reason to Google/Samsung for it not happening. Unofficially, yes, anything is possible. The same happened with the Galaxy S Advance, where the devs (Paul L, a few posts above, is one of them) made every kitkat variant you can come up with work on it, flawlessly. Damn fine job. Mind you, that phone had the same fate as the Gnex, its SoC company, ST Ericsson also shut down and exited the SoC market and leaving it unsupported.
I just hope Moto heard all the feedback and improves the camera in this update, apart from all the inherent camera pipeline enhancements we get from lollipop itself.

No need for a e-drama. Just wait until a downloadable link comes to our hands, otherwise just don't trust the OEM. Pretty simple.
So, for the source code, a month or two from now (the SDK will be released this week, but newer images are still marked as the preview versions); then about a week or two tops for CM 12 Alpha. From the OEM, maybe 3 or 4 weeks after release (for the GPE edition, the rest, about two months). Just my prediction, if Motorola/Google plays it cool, and we are lucky enough; we'll have a preview version, in about two or three weeks from now for the GPe editions.
All basing my statements on what Google and friends did when 4.4 was released; and the rest pure speculation.

Any QWERTY devices planned for CES 2013?
Nope, but i know someone who has a "samsung pro" its like a bb but uses android
Sent from my GT-P3100 using xda app-developers app
There haven't been any great or awesome Global QWERTY Androids for the entire 2012! We are edging closer to the end of slide-out QWERTYs overall, however horrific that might sound. HTC has stated at the start of 2012, that it will not focus on QWERTY phones as it consists of only a small group of buyers. Samsung launches only mid-range QWERTY phones and that too only in the US, whereas Motorola who launches high-end QWERTY phones does so only in the US as well. Sony has launched only one proper QWERTY phone and that was way back in 2011 and I have absolutely never heard of a properly LG QWERTY phone. So I would be really surprised if we do see a high-end QWERTY phone that launches globally.
Sad...........just ****ing sad.
The last Motorola QWERTY was the Photon Q on Sprint released last August. It has decent specs 4.3" screen and 1.5ghz S4 processor, but its only on Sprint. The best spec'd GSM slider appears to be the Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G on T-mobile but it has At&t 3G bands, no LTE though. It has a 4" screen and a 1.5ghz S4, but only a 5MP camera.
I've not used Android before, having started with Win 6.5 on an XDA, through an Xperia X1, and onto a HTC Win phone 7, all with qwerty keyboard... Win 7 was a let-down in terms of what I could do with Word and Excel, so I am looking at an Android phone, but the over-riding requirement is a landscape sliding qwerty keyboard - so should I wait for something new which may be on the horizon, or buy whatever is currently available (not that I know what that is even) whilst I still can?
Oh, I'm in the UK... which appears to limit me still further in choice!
Many thanks,
Tref.

Motorola used to sell their Droid qwerty series overseas except they called them Milestone and they were GSM. But the Milestone 3 was the last and is the same as my Droid 3 which is stuck on Android 2.3 GB officially. If there was a Milestone 4 I'd recommend that but there never was, unless you want to import a Droid 4 and get a SIM unlock code. Or theres the Galaxy S Relay 4G from T-mobile that you could import, its newer and should be easier to get working on GSM since T-mobile is GSM.

Actually, Droid 4 is not SIM locked on Verizon, and it works on overseas GSM carriers with local SIM cards without any hacking as long as it has been updated to ICS (I'm writing this on one in Europe).

I was interested a while ago in buying a Droid 4 and use it in Europe. I decided to wait for the CES and obviously i waited for nothing.
I'd be totally glad and thankful if you can share a bit of your feelings about yours. Site reviews are nice things, but user's feelings are always better.

I'd be suprised not to see a Droid 5 this year, I always thought it was a popular brand for Motorola?
Never bothered with importing a Droid 4, the LTE band (700Mhz only) is worthless here in the UK. Perhaps we will see a rise in keyboard-cases for those of us who would like a keyboard. There are some decent ones for the iPhone and some chinese ones for the Note.

Any news? The situation in Europe is quite sad.. I can't understand why Motorola canceled its XT898, which could have been some sort of hope.
On the other side, Droid 4 has locked bootloader (after the Milestone I said to myself, never again), and to get to work a Photon Q is not that easy.
I don't get why no producer cares releasing a single damn QWERTY phone in Europe. Maybe they're not so popular, but given it would be the only one, I think it should have some sort of success!
I love my qwerty devices, but they're becoming rarer and rarer. After buying a Nexus 7, I think I could live without a physical keyboard and might jump on the GS4 boat.
T-Mobile G2 (Desire Z) user here and ashamed there isn't any modern, new QWERTY phones available. Can we live without them? Yes, but we can also live without SD card, 250ppi screen and quad core chips ffs.Where's my QWERTY! Also, I am still waiting for this phone that has not been released yet...

I believe there is a poll on here somewhere for those that want a decent qwerty slide phone (my requirement is one which also has an extra row for numbers)... Unfortunately I haven't made enough posts on here yet to be able to add my name to it!

Would you post the link please?
You can use photon q:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929143
I looked into the Photon Q, but with problems of finding one to important, and getting it modified (my soldering skills are not that good) was too much for me. My HTC phone 7 is at deaths door, so I finally settled on an Xperia Z. Sure enough, my fears over the keyboard are realised (can't find my way around the phone yet either, but sure I will with time).... I bought a cheap Bluetooth qwerty keyboard the next day, and it connected and worked no problem at all, but the feel is awful... have seen nicer slide cases for the iphone 5 (with a numbers row and back lit), but will it pair up ok with that? I think for the sake of £20 I will try it... planning then to butcher a case or two to make a phone I can use the way I want to! Unless... anyone has any better ideas??!
Oh, and I can't find the poll I mentioned now!
I just bogged down and bought a galaxy s4. The bigger the screen the easier it is to type. Still, I miss buttons for emulators.
This isn't the poll I meant, but is another (old) one:

a solid buy is all i can say. funtions without disappointment at all times required and even tho it came out last year it still can sit next to an s4 without being embarassed. in fact it seems the droid 4 works smoother than the s4, but just short of smoothness of an iphone. not a big deal at all. it's the first phone that has completely met my needs and i planned on sticking with it for a while anyway. if you want a qwerty slider, then this droid 4 is the best pick in the whole planet right now. photon q is like a lower spec droid 4.
unfortunate that usa customers arent able to benefit unless theyre with verizon. hopefully motorola will be smart in realizing that locking them to verizon has harmed their sales of the device. it's 2013 and ppl are still asking if it will work in their country and holding out for a droid 5 which should be due sometime at the end of the year into the beginning of the new year. for motorola to completely drop qwerty slider would be the worst about turn for a company to make who claims to be reinventing itself. there's enough of those tablet phones.. theyre all starting to look the same.. thin and lame! i like the solid feel of my droid4. the new s4s etc dont even interest me in the least even with their higher specs theyre pointless. there's only so much u can do on a powerful device with a touchscreen keyboard before it becomes a hinderance.. symbols, arrow keys and numbers all accessible as on a hardware keyboard is an advantage over software keyboards taking up 30% of the viewable screen.. like i said.. lame.
as it is motorola NEEDS a droid 5 because there will be nothing to set them apart from the competition. all fones are now flat, all have larger battery capacity, theyre even coming waterproof too and with higher specs, infrared ports and other sensors.
if motorola does the same thing with a qwerty slider it will destroy the competition. otherwise, theyll just be filing themselves with all the weeds in the field.

Possibly. I for sure wouldn't use it even if it came on it.
I'm not having a fingerprint stolen in a hack (of the storage system or my actual phone) or spoofed to gain access to my phone. They may be "secure" for now but there's no telling if/when that could change. I do not trust my phone or the manufactures with any of my fingerprints. They can have a password since I have the ability to change those.
When is the next rocket to Mars? I heard Motorola Headquarters are there, and their secret supply on Nexus 6 2015's.
Am I allowed to reserve on other people's threads? No?
I just need that DPI of a 1440p screen in that area.
Please, I will sell me Nexus 6 D:
Wait, the release price is less of that of the current N6?

Agreed. This is the only thing holding me back and waiting to see what the nexus is going to bring. I know I'm in the minority, but in so sick of using lock screen, but won't go without for safety :/
Even though there hasn't been any official word on Project Fi support, seeing as how it's just like the Nexus 6 in that it's a single model that works on all U.S. carriers, I don't see why it couldn't work once Google gives it the green light. I know people have used a Project Fi SIM in a Nexus 6 and iPhone and have had some luck with at least one carrier, but those lacked all the hardware necessary. I'm curious if we can get Fi working unofficially on the Style.

Hey guys! One quick question. I'm using a Moto g (2gen) right now. Amazon is offering a Lg g flex 2 for 325 Euro right now. Should i get it or wait till Moto x Style comes out? But i guess it will cost more (About 400-450 Euro)
Does this phone lag after the 5.1 update?
Thank you very much in advance!
I'd wait for the Moto X if I were you. I don't think it's worth the risk to use a device with the Snapdragon 810. It'll either overheat pretty badly, or run slower than the 808 to avoid overheating. Moto X all the way.
Goodbye Samsung...Hello Moto
So now that Note 5 says bye bye to Europe (at the moment) I would consider to order the x style... But the only thing that keeps me away is that there is no possibility to change the stock android theme besides i use another launcher but there is only an icon change... or I have to flash a cm rom to get a theme manager...damn!!!

I just hope the option of leaving the micro sd as media-only is intact. I have zero desire of integrating the sd with internal storage. Highly problematic to swap a card or even upgrade a card, since not as simple as
copying data over to another card.
I couldnt see any mention of common sensors like gyroscope, magnetometer/compass in the spec list...Are they not included in this device??
Will it support OTG USB drives?
What about the hearing aid rating? i.e. teh HTC One M9 has a rating of M4/T4
This is a somewhat silly question, I admit. It's reasonable to assume that Huawei will provide Android 6.0 to their older phones, considering they just made the new Nexus 6P.
Or will they? What do you think? Is the Nexus 6P comparable in terms of hardware to our Mate 7? How are chances that we'll actually get Marshmallow within a reasonable time frame?
Also, what do you think - will Marshmallow make it possible that we could get a CyanogenMod installation for the Mate 7 with support for the fingerprint sensor? Or another, similar, close-to-stock Android experience?
I, for one, would rather wait for Marshmallow and stick with KitKat for the time being, hoping that the new system will improve significantly on Lollipop - and also hoping that the Nexus 6P means adoption of Marshmallow to the Mate 7 and other Huawei phones will be much quicker (and easier).
What are your thoughts?
we are waiging a year for lollipop. i guess they'll release finally this goddamn lollipop just to get rid of haters on their fanpages and forget about mate 7.
if you are expecting 6.0 in reasonable time you are just dreamer.

The Nexus 6P will be updated by Google and not by Huawei to be clear and i`am afraid we`ll have to wait for the M update at least 6-9 months if they continue developing Lollipop. The Nexus has a different CPU and GPU then the Huawei`s/Honors so that won`t help either. I`ll be switching to the Moto X Style soon i`ll think because the Nexus`s are ridiculously expensive this year imo, at least in the EU :silly:

Hope this is legit but i have serious doubts
The AM7 hasn't even received an official Lollipop update, the mere thought of getting Marshmallow is a dream. Huawei has been promising it every month, and has failed every month. I absolutely love my AM7 physically, but the software is outdated. The fact that Google will be in charge of the 6P's software is the only reason I bought one. Huawei has physically built some amazing phones, but hardware needs to be complemented with software, and the fact that their 2014 flagship device has not received the 2014 update to 5.0 a year after its release leaves me saddened for Huawei customers that can't change phones, or are committed to their AM7's.
Different strokes for different folks I guess. Many owners are content with 4.4.2 or the various CM based ROM's out there, but I believe it's reasonable to expect a vital software upgrade to a flagship device within 5-6 months of its release. We're nearing a year and still are going nuts over beta releases that are still buggy (I just reverted my AM7 back to 4.4.2 b125), and that to me is a deal breaker. But again - some people are content.
I'll say this though - CM12.2 or whatever it'll be called for Android M would go amazing with the AM7. With fingerprint reading natively built into 6.0, maybe we could see CM ROM's with a fingerprint scanner. My main gripe with the CM ROM's for the AM7 was lack of fingerprint reading (understandably, of course, given the nature of the way its built into Huawei's kernel). Oh well!
even honor 6 received lollipop today
Nexus P6 belongs to google .. the manufacturer does NOT do anything with software AT ALL .. nexus phones has pure android directly from google so that is why it has 6.0
6.0 Marshmallow on mate 7 ? next year christmas maybe ?

The different hardware is a convincing point - considering this is (from what I've read) also what's keeping back Lollipop for so long.
I've been eyeing the Moto X Style myself, as well as the Nexus 6P (which I find far too expensive) and the OnePlus 2. I would miss the fingerprint sensor on the Moto, though ...

That's what I'm hoping - that a CM-based Marshmallow ROM with fingerprint support will come to our phones. In fact, I can't stand EMUI and would prefer vanilla or close to vanilla Android - if only it were currently possible. Since the OnePlus 2 is impossible to get (at least at its official retail price) and the Nexus 6P is so damn expensive (almost iPhone money ...), I'm going to stick with my Mate for the time being ...
No.
Don't expect Marshmallow for mate 7.
Just don't.

I cant tell, i only know that is a leak, but there are several news telling that huawei will update mate 7, mate S, honor 6, p8, and more, to android M, lets give them a try
I would say that the lollipop upgrade has been dumped away - and we will go directly to Android M6. Last known AL5 beta was B317 for the LT-09 - the betas came out every few weeks, now it's silent since the B317 wich was close to done - was in matter of days for the official release.
Also some sites report that Huawei said about AM6 update is coming much much sooner...and some of them even say Q4 2015
http://pantomath.xyz/emui-4-0-based-on-android-marshmallow-to-be-released-in-q4-2015-by-huawei/
Edit: NEVERMIND i just found out it was Huawei Christmas XD
Lg is bringing to g4 marshmallow next week already...that's pretty fast
I saw huawei 3 popular device will get Andriod M at first...and 6p already release...I found one of huawei developer said thes 3 brands, P8,Mate 7 and Honor 6plus...they will possibly release in end of 2015..its mean u can guess for half of 2016 hehe bcoz huawei always late...

I want to know Will G4 & V10 Upgrade Nougat OS
So I asking the question LG Service Center Korea
And They answered
"According to Lab, G4 & V10 is not supporting Nougat OS
We are trying to develop best program and provide stable software,
But Both Devices has a difficult to make stable Nougat firmware
So We dont support Nougat OS to V10 & G4
I'm so sorry"
Hmm.....
What do you think about LG dont support nougat os both devices?
on the Tmobile site it says that they have agreed to release nougat on the v10 .

Hmm
That's Curious
It would be very stupid approach by LG if they don't update their last year's flagship phones especially considering the bootloop problems that already had huge impact on their reputation. Till now LG have always provided at least 2 major firmware upgrades to new version of the OS for their flagships so i expect this to be the case here also. Both G4 and V10 have decent hardware so this can not be used as excuse. As for the time frame - considering experience with 6.0 upgrade i expect update to arrive for the H960A around march or beginning of april. Here is also the tmobile statement:
Software Version: Android 7.0 "Nougat"T-Mobile and the device manufacturer have agreed to support a new software update.
really disappointing
What a silly excuse for them to not to update G4 & V10 to nougat.. seriously, did LG think that we're kindergarten children that easily fooled by that silly excuses?
Hey, even the slower processor than SD808 can run nougat, even the new LG sh*tty budget phone can run nougat without problems too and even older SD805 from Nexus 6 can run Nougat.. Why not G4 and V10?
GGWP LG, goodbye.. I'm going to another OEM that gives better support on their flagship.. after all the way from LG Intuition to V10 and G4, both of this is my last LG phone.. My trust and loyal to LG destroyed.. nice.. real nice..
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Hey guy's, calm down...the reply the thread user make a storm inside a glass, of course LG online support people dont know nothing about updates and if they know they dont tell to anybody.
Of course G4 and V10 will have nougat, wait at least 3/4 weeks and then you see...
i remember even G Flex2 i have year ago get the Marshmallow and nobody think they will receive it because of SD810 overheating problem. Why LG will be stupid and dont do a Nougat update for the best phone they ever made (V10)? - i have the V10 now and i am praised we will get the Nougat.
Lies of LG, because Neus 5X have the same SD808 than V10 (of course they are Nexus but have the same CPU of V10) and they already have Nougat, i dont trust in theyr excuses of "unstable build of nougat in this SoC", is just lies...
Wait for it and dont make so much smoke because V10 isnt the Note 7 and even if your house catch fire isnt because the V10, is for something else, maybe your brain thinking too much in Nougat for G4/V10!
Today I read news about G4 & V10 US verson will not upgrade nougat os
I translate article that news by Google translate
The netizen asked LG Electronics USA branch online for the answer, and said that they are "preparing to update Android 7.0 for both models." In fact, the US mobile carrier T-Mobile homepage on the V10 will be about to update Android 7.0 soon.
*
However, this happened because LG Electronics' decision was not passed on to the US subsidiary.
*
"Both of these products are technologically optimized for Android 6.0 from the production stage, so we decided to keep software stability at its best," an official at LG Electronics said.
*
In addition, regarding the point that the Android 6.0 version comes out after the G4 release, "I will make the trend considering the future version of the smartphone manufacturing, considering the next version." If there is any part of the new OS that does not fit, I made this decision considering that, "he said.
so, again...i dont know how many of people reading this thread have the international version of V10, the H960A but for your information yesterday, 28th February LG realese one update for our model, we are now with V20e and no more in V20c...i already update it via LG Bridge and now i will do some tests to find improvments in this update, since all i know is we have February Security Patch but who knows if we have some battery improvments and by this means LG really cares about update at least Security Patches and maybe we get Nougat in some weeks from now, wish i belive we will.
Hope is the last to die, thats what we say in my country.
Fine, LG....well done. Let's continue like this....and you can stop selling phones.
Pretty ridiculous that the V10 will not get Nougat.
18 months after release and LG is no longer supporting updates? If that turns out to be true then I don't think I will consider an LG product for my next smart phone. Usually when I buy a phone I stick with it for a few years. In that time frame I expect to receive good customer support and updates. Very disappointed.
I personally don't believe it. LG had serious problems with G4 and bootloop but they did not recall the model like samsung with the note 7. They designed new version of the motherboard (1.1) and tried to repair the phones for free. Most logical thing to partially fix their reputation is to provide android 7 upgrade for G4 and V10. We will see what will happen.

Is there a way to check if one got a new motherboard? I have had mine repaired 2 weeks ago. But don't know if I can be free of bootlooping again.

Sorry for OT, I'm also very dissapointed but can someone explain me... I don't understad since I have my V10 (H960A) why only other versions like T-Mobile or AT&T have so strong XDA support? And why only these versions can have custom ROMs, but flashing that ROMs on H960A will brick it...?
It's so annoying, I never before had so undevelopment smartphone...
Turns out that we will be getting Nougat (together with the G4), however we have to wait till Q3 2017.

Just don't expect Oreo or any subsequent security patches. It's end of the line for this phone. Despite LG's announcement of a "Software Upgrade Center" (whatever that may mean -- LG lacks the fortitude and vision to actually follow through on this initiative in a meaningful way), I don't expect subsequent support for older, yet not obsolete hardware.
I've been burned by the G4 (H815), G5 and now V10 (960a) just as rumour was about an Oreo release. LG announced the boot loader unlock on these too late for a critical mass of support for developers to provide custom software options.
I kept my LG G3 D852. I was able to brute force unlock the bootloader and run Resurrection Remix (Oreo 8.1) with Android Security Patch current as of February 5th, 2018 -- and it is a solid performer!
Who cares. Unfortunately our v10 was abandoned a long long time ago by lg and the carriers. Hell, out last security update was in September of 2017,no? Amd you're asking about Nougat?? Please. Keep dreaming because our awesome phone is off people's minds- lg, carriers, developers, and the public.

Ok. Not trying to be condescending, but most of us already figured that Lenovo would be dropping their support. It is almost 3 years since release and 2 years or so of support at most is pretty standard.
If the lack of support for security updates bothers anyone, there are 2 options available: custom ROMs or upgrade to a newer device. Personally, I think being smart about installing apps and basic personal good security habits should be sufficient to protect a user.
It is very unusual for any Moto device to get upgrades/updates after 24 months past release... In general figure that if it's been out 18 months, it's done. This is nothing unusual, if you expect more than that your kidding yourself.

This... As far as "security updates" go, they are largely just a marketing gimmick. I've written several post on why they are not realky important so I won't do it again.
If my moto didn't crap out., I would still be using it with out security updates. But I moved on to Pixel 2 xl. Glad the moto died now. Moved on to pixel 2 xl. Loving every minute of it. It will be a matter of time phones will be just way to expensive to keep up with next best thing. Phones are at there limit and are in a stale mate with technology. I wouldn't be surprised to see in the next 2 to 3 years a major slow down on purchases of phones. Then the rise of pay per security updates. Phone companies still making money.

If mine died I would probably go for a Pixel 2. They'll be fantastic bargains when the Pixel 3 comes out. My main device is a Pixel C and so I can't justify £500-800 for a phone which is essentially just my communication device and music/podcast player!
How did we get to the point where £800 is the norm for top devices? Crazy!

This topic has been beaten to death... It is what it is. It's purely a ROI thing, so I don't blame them honestly. Why invest hundreds of man hours in a device that 90% of users won't keep more than 2 years anyway?

I bought second hand. But the person owned if for little over 30 days so they couldn't return and I know the person. They just didn't like the vanilla android and the slight blue when looking at it more than a 45 degree angle. I got use to it and now don't even notice. Pixel 2 xl is a beast. Always reached 8 hr SOT with 15% to spare when I do run the heck out it. That's with 60% brightness all the time. Bought for half price.
Side note though. Yes you can run roms with O and soon P on the XPE but roms are glitchy. Every one I've run into is made by very good DEVS but they make it to their liking. DEVS will soon abandon the XPE just like all other phones. I would pay moto for OS updates but not security updates. Security updates like stated before is just to give some warm and fuzzy like you're safe. I don't keep credit cards on my phone. If they want my emails they can have them. I do not store anything on my phone that will benefit any thief.
Android 7 on the Moto X Pure is great... I've been using 8.1 and now 9.0 on the essential phone and IMO Google has gone backwards more than forwards since 7.1.
If I hadn't picked up the Essential Phone for $250 on primeday I would use the Moto for another year... Or more. Definitely keeping it as a backup.

IMO 8.1 just didn't add much for the user and 9.0 is all about restriction, becoming more Apple like with a joke of a gesture navigation. So for me, 8+ is a big meh... I can happily live without them if I had to.
LOL...I would love to see how they would implement android as a service. The core of android itself is Linux based so there is the first issue. Aside from that, with so many hands in the pot implementing their own stuff into android, I can't see any common ground really being reached...especially when it could be seen as colluding.
As are as device support ending by the 2 year mark, no surprise there. This is common practice in the industry and it will probably not change. In fact, with most devices being released today having the batteries not being user-replaceable, it just helps companies sell more devices. Anyone who is a moderate to heavy user can attest that the battery longevity considerably depletes in 2 years. I have known people to use phones 3 or more years if the battery was easily replaceable. The companies could not win with stopping updates, but they are because of diminishing battery life.
Personally I would not being willing to pay for OS upgrades. They should be provided for 18 to 24 months for free. If it works, and the apps I need work, then so be it. By the time the apps will no longer work with the older OS, the device is probably over 4 years since release and it is time to move on.
