Motorola may be catching up to companies like Samsung and Google regarding the number of years of Android updates it provides for its smartphones. A new Motorola phone could come with five years of updates, and it represents the second Motorola phone to do so in as many months.
The recently announced Motorola Moto G75 will come with five Android OS upgrades and six years of security patches. By our count, this would mean that users will be able to update their phone to at least Android 19, considering that the Moto G75 ships with Android 14. Last month, it was announced that the Motorola Edge 50 Neo would include five years of OS upgrades and security patches.

While five years of updates isn’t as many as the seven years that companies like Samsung and Google promised, it still represents a significant increase from what Motorola had previously offered.

The Motorola Moto G75 is a mid-range smartphone with impressive features at its price point. It includes a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, a 6.78-inch Full HD+ LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate, and support for expandable storage via a microSD card of up to 1TB.
The new phone also boasts a 50-megapixel main primary with OIS and Quad Pixel technology and a 5,000mAh battery that supports 30W TurboPower wired and 15W wireless charging.
The new phone is available in Charcoal Grey, Aqua Blue, and Succulent Green. The Charcoal Grey model features a matte-finished back cover, while the Aqua Blue and Succulent Green models have vegan leather rear panels.
It looks like a very competent budget phone, though the real interest lies in its update policy. This is an area Motorola has long struggled with, and while it remains to be seen if the company actually makes good on this promise, it’s a very encouraging step in the right direction.
Motorola has not yet announced the pricing and availability details for the Moto G75.
