... man fuck all that noise i guess i'll just stick to motorola ._.
Isn't Motorola now Lenovo? I unfortunately can't use their devices for work.
Look if Nothing is available in your country, they're from the UK.
Lenovo bought Motorola from Google in 2014, so yes, Motorola is "now" Lenovo, but this has been so for over a decade.
I regularly get confused because they moved an intersection in my town 5 years ago, and i still think it's there until i pull up and its a dead end. lol
The reason why I stick with motorola is because the Android they ship is the closest to pure AOSP. (From what's avaiable in my country)
I wouldn't recommend a motorola because of the software. I have a g60s and it's not really stable. Every once in a while it reboots and then gets stuck on the boot screen, drains the battery. The UI is also buggy: app switching from the recents view may not work, the quick network selection screen may get stuck. Also, some very specific colours flicker. A developers option makes it go away but the option turns itself off after some time.
I daily drive a moto g14 for about a year now. A rather basic phone, but thankfully still didnt have any software related issues yet :P hope motorola gives some care to your model tho
Moto g60s is also a cheap model and it's over 3 years old now. Unlikely that I'll ever receive another update as the last one was in august 2023. At least I can unlock the bootloader but that doesn't help much bc there are no other roms for it.
Alternatively, you could try to install a GSI instead of a fully custom built ROM, that's how I got a custom rom back when I had a Samsung A03 Core. But even then, the way android is locked down on each device along the absurdly short support Motorola offers is really infuriating.
