My last 3 phones were pixels, so guess I got spoiled😉
I believe Moto still does the quarterly security updates... so you should get June/July/August sometime in August hopefully 🤞 There was a time years ago where I went almost a year with no security updates on my Moto X Pure Edition... but I do believe Moto is much better now. At least I hope so 😳

And yep Pixels, and even Samsung spoils us nowadays lol.

I hope so too. That's the only thing that I disliked about Moto. I'd consider them again if this is improved.

I think you should get used to that.
Yeah I knew they would be slow in coming because , well, Moto. Just curious if others have seen any signs yet. Been about 12 years since my last Moto.
If Pixel made a flip I would have gotten it instead. Seems to be an awesome phone but not surprised at the delay. I'll take the good with the less good. ;)

Yeah I bought direct from Moto (unlocked) and nothing yet. Still on May 1st.
I think you should get used to that.
Even Samsung, which is usually fast, typically is faster with updates for carrier than factory unlocked.

The UI on the Razr+ is very clean and similiar to a pixel experience. Zippy fast and doesn't throttle like Samsung devices. The difference is huge now that I have a device to compare.

Does anyone know what this "N" indicates in the notification bar?

Are you running Android 14 beta? 14 = Android N. If not, maybe a setting you've changed in Developer options?
No, it's been like this since day one when I first took it out of the box. I'm not aware of Moto devices being able to run betas. I wish. Funny thing is, if you pull down the notification shade it doesn't show up although everything else does.

Hmm, interesting. Maybe it's not an "N"; maybe it's a lightning bolt symbol, meant to signify some sort of communication or tether connection. I have a VPN with a notification icon that doesn't show when the shade is pulled down but it's a profile view of a key, like you show next to the mystery icon.

👎🏻Thumbs down for the lack of timely security updates. Just noticed mine is from May 1st. Almost 3 months behind in security updating. Is this typical of Moto? I thought they were trying to do better.
I'm satisfied with their timeliness. Got my first update the day I received the phone, June 27th. Just received another Security update from Motorola a few minutes ago (August 2nd). New version: T1TZS33.3-62-25-1-3
