Moto E 2nd Gen and Moto X 2nd Gen carrier versions to not get Marshmallow update Comments

The thing I realized now reading comments is that now Motorola is owned by Lenovo, which is probably why there's been a change of heart considering updates.
I'm buying a new laptop next month. Was considering a Yoga Pro 3 for $1K, and you know what, Lenovo? If my 2nd gen Moto E isn't updated, I will neither buy another Motorola device, nor will you get hundreds of dollars from me on my laptop purchase next month. I'll just buy a Surface Pro.
When OEMs update, it's not just about the device, it's about consumer trust. Considering the recent security scandals they've had, Lenovo isn't in the best position to pull this crap. They lost me as a customer. I'm sure MS will be happy to get my $1K.

If you are looking for a android phone with long term support then best is to go for a flagship phone. They will get updates for 2,3 some even 4 years. It is better in the long term than buying 2 or more budget phones in that 4 year period, just so you can have the latest android version. Moto E2 as we are lead to believe won't have android. Yet in 6 months time the Moto E3 with similar specs will have android 6.

Lol... Motorola was owned by Google meaning they could give timely updates. Now they're owned by Lenovo it isn't exactly rocket science that the updates would stop!

This is the major problem of Android, fragmentation. Out of so many big player out there, so far only iPhone, current Lumia and BlackBerry 10 series will keep getting update even after 3 year. But there is pro and cons for that, some update does increase the performance some.... *Cough* Apple *Cough* not doing well on optimizing. There is some Fork Android manufacturer that will keep update their phone, such as Xiaomi. However if you want a stock Android experience and keep getting update, get a Nexus device then.

Where is the 18 months support for devices?! all brands, carriers have to do updates for theyr devices at least in 18 months next of launch so...Motorola doenst give the word!
What is the point? nobody buy the Moto E, because for theyr price have better options for not more than 100$ have devices wich will be updated to Mashmallow! :)

Yep, lenovo fired most of the software team of Motorola, that'll probably be why.
