Motorola Marketed the Moto E 2015 On Promise of Updates, Stops After 219 Days

An anonymous reader writes: Over the past few years, Motorola has emerged as one of the best manufacturers for low-to-mid-range Android phones. Unlike many other major manufacturers, they keep their version of Android close to stock in order to keep OS updates flowing more easily. When they began marketing the Moto E 2015, updates were one of the features they trumpeted the loudest. But after the company published a list of devices that will continue to get updates, Android Police found the Moto E to be conspicuously absent. The phone launched on February 25, a mere 219 days ago. According to an official Motorola marketing video from launch day, "...we won't forget about you, and we'll make sure your Moto E stays up to date after you buy it."

"Ha ha, just kidding! We can't believe you fell for that shit!

But look over here, Citizen- we'll give you $5 off The New Shiny if you sign up for a 50-year unbreakable contract."
