What do you think? Will Motorola abandon its budget phone after only giving it one update?

The Moto G will probably be supported for 1 to 1,5 years as long as the hardware can take it.
I hope they give us Key Lime Pie (5.0) before they decide to stop updates for it.
Moto has been on the ball lately in getting updates for older devices like the Razrs so I'm holding onto hope that it will get a few more updates.

Hopefully, they carry on updates until a certain time. Would definitely like to see where they go next

If they supported before i am sure that they will supporting it now, since they are a google company.

It should in theory get 18 months support, so Android 5.0 is a real possibility, as Google is now concentrating on getting Android to run on lower spec smartphones.
BUT
Motorola could if they want stop support for the Moto G after only 12 months, because when all said and done it isn't a true Nexus device, even though they are now owned by Google, and alot of companies don't really support their low end smartphones beyond a 12 months period, and by the time Android 5.0 is out they have a Moto G replacement in the wings.

I'm just hoping now that Google bought them they will be more supportive of old phones, If I remember correctly my Defy didn't even got an upgrade past Eclair/Froyo, if even that.

Google are the ones who have said 18 months of updates for their nexus line. I'd imagine they will do this with Motorola as well. Hey...beats some phone makers.
Sent from my Moto X cell phone telephone.....
Well we all assume that the moto g is a "mini-nexus" and that's why it can have up to 18 months updates but, motorola never said so. It can be that it stops earlier, specially considering that its a mid-range device.
Though motorola's CEO did said they will focus on releasing less devices and give them better support. This last year (2013) they only released two devices, which is in track of what he said in that interview but doesn't guarantee that "more support" is meant to be more than a year.
I'm pretty sure it will see android 5.x , assuming google won't go all the way from 4.4 to 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 before the big jump

"Lollipop" or "Licorice" would be my guess.
There are already lot of first-class devs around here, so I think the future of the Moto G is in good hands even without any official support

Defy+ only got to GB 2.3.6 but Quarx made it possible to decently run 4.4.2 on the old trusty defy. It's has been a long way from froyo to kitkat.
So if the Moto Gee gets attention from developers and I'm sure it will we have nothing to worry about.
I don't care as long as the hardware gets yearly updates ? If they bring out a moto g 2 for the same price with the latest firmware I'll upgrade every year,just hope the moto g 2 gets LTE

I don't think Key Lime Pie is going to be a thing... If you notice, all of the Android codenames have gone in alphabetical order. KeyLime was all speculation. KitKat filled the K spot, and 5.0 will be some L

Our phone came out in 2013, why shouldnt we get it?

s3? do you mean the Samsung Galaxy s3? really? oh God! how could you?
Did you know that Motorola has become the best at updating?
Did you know that s3 was release in april 2012 and our phone was released on september 2013?
s3 updating life is dead with kitkat, ultra has just got 1 update after released and its just 9 months old, I could bet we will get android L officially.

Not because samsung is terrible, s3 update dead line just ended, s3 users should be lucky they got kitkat.
s3 is more than 2 years old. They should do that with every phone.

Hi there! Moto has just unveiled their Moto G4, G4 Plus and G4 Play. I'm really excited, and I don't want to wait for user reviews
So I guess I'll just trust Moto with their reputation, and order one today itself if I can :victory:
What do you guys think of the new model(s)? Do you think there will be much development going on? I'm prepared to wait for the fun to begin, but I just wanted your thoughts on the matter...
I know it is too early, and probably a dumb question but there are many variants (G4 Plus has 16GB, 32GB and 64GB variants)... Could that possibly hamper development scope? Also, I've mostly seen that such variants of mainstream models ('plus', 'play', etc) do not have as many options, as far as kernels and ROMs are concerned.
m also in same dilemaa..waiting for some recognized developers words on it @Vatsal is one of them.
me3
:fingers-crossed: Ordered today, Arriving tomorrow.
It won't be hard to port all development work to the plus and play, you just need someone who knows what they're doing. I wouldn't be worried.

I wouldn't worry, as with the previous Moto G's, I expect this one to get some developers on board that know what they're doing. I'll try to help, but can't help with the first steps (twrp, root) as I'm way to inexperienced. (Been battling with the build environment for the Tab S2 for moths, would prefer to work on the code itself )
I'm still in doubt between the G4 and the plus, the latter being released here around the 9th. (the G4 is due 1st of june)

Yeah, great news! I've just ordered this phone to replace my N5 and now this news, honestly I wasn't expecting update to nougat.
We live to see another day!
Well, I am not surprised. The Play is just a year old.
Most 1 year old phones don't get updated..
Thanks to near stock firmware...it is easier to push updates without incurring lot of cost
That's is the official post

Unless you own a 2015 Moto G and then they just shaft you it would seem, it does seem odd that the 2014 Moto G was updated as far as the 2015 Moto G.
I am pretty surprised but relieved the Moto X Play is getting 7 i must be honest.

Change the country, you'll get the right info. MXP is on the list for the UK, and it says "This device will be upgraded to the Android 7.x (Nougat) release of Android, pending partner support"
The official announcement was way long back , sometime like last month. .

Hello all... Is there any updates about news for 7.0? When will it come? Oct, Nov or Dec? What will it have new?
7 minutes ago Mo Versi (@moversi) post a news about the October security update for A9, M9 and HTC10 (new security update will be OTA on 10/24) so i think that Nougat update will be very soon! ( i hope so)

@htchelp stopped answering me about it when I called them on their BS canned responses. I asked what I can do as a consumer since they flat out lied to me, no reply in over a month.
Its horror waiting on update,and not just on HTC devices.I mean ,the best way is to buy Pixel phone.Its get always the newest software and this is the future,cos of security uodates.
In December it will be for A9!

You should not have had to buy a new phone to get what you were promised.
Really disappointed from HTC, i think i will never trust again HTC.
first they say screen protection is gorilla glass 4 and after test shows its GG3 they hide it!
they promise 15 days update after nexus and now there is mouths and even M9 gets the update and we not.
feeling sad for buying A9
With HTC you are still one of the first to get the Nougat update.
True, they did say "15 days for A9" and that appeared to be a broken promise but still we're getting it very fast.
Come on, 2 months is not much. Be patient.

I bought it for that promise, and I preferred HTC instead of the Nexus 6p... totally disappointed with the "HTC marketing fail"
Technically they're still faster than the other OEMs around... maybe by the end of the month we're having Nougat on our devices...
I also bought it instead of Nexus 5, thinking a big company like HTC never broke a big promise like this, they dont peomise it for M9 but as we see secound device was that and we still remain on marshmallow! Ok 15 day is not possible for a big update like nougat and again ok htc 10 is flag ship, but why they release it for M9 but not for A9?!
