Unfortunately Motorola phones are not great when it comes to OS updates. Two major OS updates and then security patches for some time after that. Which sounds okay on paper, but man are they slow with them. I finally got Android 13 on my Edge 20 just last week! Their "bimonthly" security updates occasionally come a month late too. Maybe the experience would be different with a flagship rather than a midrange device, but I'm not willing to risk my money on such a gamble - my next phone won't be a Motorola. A shame too, their latest foldable looks quite nice.

I've been entertaining a theory that the update slowness and little bloat are somehow related - with how slow they're with updates, they probably don't have the time to code up any more bloat either.

If you are willing to use Roms you can have it earlier. My G42 is still on 12 and LineageOS at 13. Still like the phone a lot. Thinking about buying a spare one.
