[Ipg-smz] Extremely solid deal on Motorola phones at Amazon today, $200 G7

[Richi Jennings]

Laughable? If you want a Motorola, why would you buy a G7 when you can get
a One Vision or One Action?

The issue with updates is about more than just new annual versions of
Android. The more important angle is getting the monthly security updates.
Good luck with getting more than a few of those out of the drooling idiots
that now run "Motorola" unless you buy one of the Android One SKUs.
