Motorola and Android updates go together like oil and water. It\u2019s a tale as old as time, and one that everyone in the Android space is certainly familiar with. Whether it\u2019s slow rollout speeds or a lack of long-term update policies, Motorola has always been bad at this.<\/p>\n

Because of this, it\u2019s never surprising when Motorola launches new smartphones with poor update support. It\u2019s something we\u2019ve had to get used to over the years, whether we like it or not.<\/p>\n

But with the Razr (2026) lineup, I\u2019m completely fed up with Motorola\u2019s inaction. When Motorola raises prices without any improvements \u2014 while simultaneously proving it can do better with other phones \u2014 I question why anyone who cares about Android still wants anything to do with this company.<\/p>\n

Is three years of Android updates a deal-breaker for the Razr (2026) phones?<\/h3>\n

Motorola\u2019s terrible update policy is more apparent than ever on the Razr (2026) series<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Motorola has followed a pretty standard update policy with its Razr phones over the last few years. Since the Razr (2023) series, Motorola has committed to just three years of Android OS upgrades and four years of security updates. While not the worst we\u2019ve ever seen from the company, it\u2019s still not good.<\/p>\n

This lacking support has been one of the most clear-cut disadvantages of the Razr lineup since its inception, and with every generation, it\u2019s one of the biggest knocks against Motorola\u2019s foldables.<\/p>\n

Yet nothing ever changes. The Razr (2024) series stuck with the same three years of Android updates + four years of security patches. Last year\u2019s 2025 lineup did the same, and so does the latest family of 2026 Razr smartphones.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s especially frustrating this time around is that Motorola is asking you to pay more than ever for…<\/p>\n
