Just discovered that my Moto G Power (2021) will not be upgradeable to Android 12.

I literally bought this phone new last year in March. It's not even a year old.

In terms of hardware, it's fine.

But now I have to find out how long it will be getting security updates.

Wow! Today is the last month I'll be getting updates to my Moto G Power (2021)!

Doesn't even get support beyond 2 years!

When I bought my iPhone 6S back in 2015, it lasted me for 7 years.

It even has iOS 15 running right now!

Just switched my SIM over to my iPhone SE.

I originally bought this as a testing device—not for daily use.

But knowing I won’t be receiving security updates on my Android device makes me feel vulnerable.

What’s silly is that in all other ways, I prefer my Android phone to my iPhone.

Okay, I will allow that my iPhone has a better camera.

But the screen real estate and battery power is so much better on my Android. Those were the two reasons I went with the Moto G Power.

I keep wondering—maybe this is silly—how bad would it be to get a Pinephone?

Probably a bad idea, but I wouldn’t mind using something other than iOS and Android.

@atomicpoet Can you root the Moto G and install Ubuntu Touch on it? I see people discussing this.

@martinvermeer First I’ve heard of that.
