Motorola has issued an official statement to clarify its software update policy for the new Edge 70 Max, following confusion stemming from its product pages. Initially, regional websites stated "up to 3 Android OS upgrades and 5 years of security updates," while footnotes indicated only "2 OS upgrades and 3 years of security updates." A Motorola representative confirmed, "We can confirm that Edge 70 Max arrives with up to 3 OS upgrades and up to 5 years of SMR."

Lenovo and Motorola Mobility are committed to meeting the principles of the Lot X regulation and will continue to provide security, corrective, and functionality updates to ensure product longevity. The company is working to enhance product lifespans through improved repair and OS update policies. The discrepancy is presumed to be an oversight, with footnotes carried over incorrectly.

Motorola aims to improve communication regarding its policies to avoid future confusion, especially as software update promises significantly influence consumer purchasing decisions. The company hopes to provide clearer minimum numbers for updates, offering more reassurance to potential buyers.
