I don’t know how good Motorola phones came to be with the years, but my first “smart” phone was a Motorola Atrix 4G. You know, the one with a fingerprint sensor in the back, at the top edge. One year exactly after I bought it its wifi/bt card died all of a sudden. Never have looked into their phones ever since.
Not the same company, the Motorola Atrix 4G is from 2011, back when Motorola phones were an American owned company.
Lenovo bought Motorola smartphone division in 2014.
12 years with another company, and I think the difference will be quite significant.
You might as well compare to a completely different brand.
They are pretty decent these days. There’s only a handful of options where I live, but I have gone through all of them and Motorola is the only one I don’t really have much to complain about.
Their modern hardware is largely nice. But their lack of software updates is awful. I had a budget moto phone that got 0 major android updates. It got an update from 7.1 to 7.1.1. Pulling up random phones on GSM arena it still seems to be the case.
