The big gripe from others was the updates but this motorola phone comes with 3 system updates and 4 years of security updates. Motorola is actually getting better. In terms of bang for the buck with specs, they are right there with Samsung and Google Pixel. I have Motorola, Samsung and Pixel. I think the Pixel A series line is slipping. They continue to stick with the 6.1" screen which is fine for people that want that but it is kind of too small to really enjoy. GSMArena states the Pixel 7a has a 76 hour endurance rating when my Pixel 6a has a 94 hour endurance rating. That is a huge downgrade in an already below average Pixel 6a battery life. Still with the 18 watt wired charging? Ehh. The Google A-line is losing me and the Samsung upper A-line & Motorola phones are attracting me lot more nowadays.
I also checked with Verizon and online imei comes up as incompatible.
At this point it's useless and I will try to return it…

Name me the Motorola phone that they didn't deliver its promised system update.
Of course they deliver. It just comes late. If it came with Android 12 in September 2022, I would expect Android 13 in September 2023 or earlier, Android 14 in September 2024 or earlier and Android 15 in September 2025 or earlier. Can one wait for a yearly system update on a FREE phone or $250 deal phone? I use a daily driver Pixel 6a with the very latest updates and a Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 and they are pretty much identical with user interface and features to me. I had to google android 12 vs 13 to see what the differences were. Lot of the websites are pushing android 13 too so take it with a grain of salt when somebody says "This redesigned feature is better.". Just like IOS system updates, not every android system update is the next greatest system update. I can barely tell the difference with my use. Redesigned widgets, one handed mode, redesigned lock screen clock, etc. These upgrades aren't huge PROs that I need it as soon as possible. Even if it is slightly better, I can wait. Android 13 is known to take a much bigger hit on battery life than Android 12. I do value battery life. When my Motorola G Stylus 5G 2022 gets a system update to 13, I will be like "OK. I will download it." but I won't be getting excited for these minor tweaks especially if it sacrifices some extra battery life. To me, Android 11 looks better with its "stock android feel" to me than Android 12/13. We see many Apple users complain after they updated to a new system that it may have bugs or made their phones slower. Not every Android system update is better than the last or the greatest android system.
Security updates? If I get monthly security updates or bimonthly over 4 years, I really don't care much. That is perfectly reasonable length of time for security for a FREE phone or $250 deal phone.
