Surprising a total of zero people, Motorola has confirmed that it will not update devices it launched before 11 to Android 2019. According to a list released According to the company, the smartphone update schedule for the new version of Google's operating system only includes devices launched between 2019 and 2020, prioritizing top-of-the-line models or models from specific regions.
A practical example of this last parameter is the Motorola One Action, which will only receive Android 11 if it is a model purchased outside the United States: American devices of this model are not on the list. This is because Latin American devices and devices from other markets outside the US are still integrated into the Android One program, while the American variant is not.
Furthermore, even in the case of smartphones purchased within the time window offered by the list, you may still have to wait a long time for the update: models such as the Razr 5G or the Edge – and similar configurations – should be first in line, while Moto G Stylus and Moto G9 Power, for example, may have to wait a long time.
