Motorola Lists 6-Year Razr+ 2026 Support in EU, but Website Shows 4 Years

1 articles · Updated · Notebookcheck.net · Aug 15

Summary

  • EPREL lists the Razr+ 2026 with six years of update availability, while Motorola’s own support page says four years of updates and three years of Android version upgrades through 2029.
  • The gap stems from Motorola’s reading of EU ecodesign rules: it says compliance can mean keeping the latest patch downloadable for five years, not issuing fresh patches for that whole period.
  • EU rules for smartphones sold from mid-2025 require at least five years of update availability starting from when the last unit is placed on the market, potentially extending support well beyond launch.
  • That leaves the foldable’s practical support window likely closer to four years after release, even as the EU database can display a self-reported six-year figure that may mislead buyers.
