Motorola Edge 2026’s update policy feels almost illegal for a $600 phone
The $600 Motorola Edge 2026 gets a surprisingly short software support commitment.
The Motorola Edge 2026, priced at $600, appears to have an update policy that could be perceived as "almost illegal." The phone is expected to receive only two major Android OS updates, bringing the operating system to version 18. After this, the phone will be left behind with no more updates. Security updates, however, are promised for a period of three years, with support ending in June 2029.
This update policy is comparable to that of the Edge 2025 and falls short of the commitments made by Google and Samsung for similarly priced mid-range smartphones. Despite having the hardware to compete with more expensive phones, the limited software support could potentially make the reasonable price of the Motorola Edge 2026 harder to justify for consumers.
