Sorta? But their parent Lenovo is chronically terrible at ever supporting the Motorola phones for one or two major OS version. The hardware is generally solid.
Not that there’s been a single genuinely good Android feature in 10 years, and most of the time Google just makes the OS worse now, but security updates seem important to maintain.
I’ve had Motorola phones for my past three or four phones. Latest one I’ve bought is the 2023 razr. They were a bit of an also ran kind of phone for many of those, but it’s definitely worth pointing out that their phones were basically always unlocked, and that they have remained an excellent value in comparison to shit companies that eat penis for a living like horrible ass Samsung.
When my Motorola phone had some problem, I was always able to pick up a new, unlocked one for around a hundred bucks.
IMO, Motorola continued doing what Google Nexus was doing at the exact same time that Google discontinued the Nexus line and started the Google Pixel line to try to emulate Apple and/or Samsung.

Is Motorola about to become cool again?

They are partnered with graphene os, making the first non - pixel graphene phone next year.
So yeah, that’s pretty cool.
Oh yeah, that was already the basis of my thinking Motorola might be cool again. The new battery is just one more data point.
W . . wood-grain? . . . flip phone? . . . GrapheneOS?
OnePlus 15 was the first one. With 7000mah
