Motorola issues official statement on the Edge 70 Max’s software update policy | Infinium-tech

Following our editorial regarding its incredibly confusing software support policy for the recently announced Edge 70 Max, Motorola contacted us to clarify the matter.

A company representative, who contacted us after our story, had this to say:

We can confirm that the Edge 70 Max comes with 3 OS upgrades and up to 5 years of SMR.
Lenovo and Motorola are committed to meeting the principles set out in the Mobility Lot We are working to further extend the longevity of our products through advanced repair and OS update policies (controlling security, corrective and functionality updates).

As a reminder, the controversy occurred when our readers called our attention to the fact that the Edge 70 Max product pages on at least several Motorola regional websites mentioned “3 Android OS upgrades and 5 years of security updates,” while in a footnote, those same product pages claimed that the product only included “2 OS upgrades and 3 years of security updates.”

Since the statement quoted above does not explain the reason for the discrepancy, we can only assume that the footnotes were moved from the product pages of other devices without changing what they were supposed to be.

Seeing how software update promises from various Android device manufacturers are becoming increasingly important to people’s purchasing decisions, we’re hoping Motorola can do a better job of communicating its policies in the future, leaving no room for confusion.

For example, the words “up to” mean that it could technically decide to release only one or two OS upgrades for the Edge 70 Max without breaking its promise. a very clear minimum This number will be more reassuring to people looking to purchase this device or any other device.
