If we were to think about one good thing about the Motorola brand before, it was the stock version of Android it ran that received software updates and security patches quickly. But now that it’s under Lenovo, people have been questioning if the tech company will be able to release timely updates, including the monthly security updates Google releases. Some were pointing out it took Lenovo three months to release a security update for the Moto X Pure and this might carry over to the new Moto Z and Moto G4 phones.
A representative from Lenovo told Digital Times in an email that the Moto Z, Moto Z Force, and Moto G Family will support the Android Security Bulletin patches and “they will receive an update shortly after launch with additional patches.” However, they didn’t specify how often or up-to-date the patches will be. Tech companies are notorious for taking their time to release updates. Let’s just hope they buck this trend.
