They say it will get "up to" 7 years of security updates, so 10 years is already out.
That requirement applies from products released starting February 18, 2027 so afaik it released just in time to not be required by law to be user replacable.

...so, how come the phone costs twice as much as the steam frame?
Tho I do get that it doesn't get any subsidies from preinstalled bloatspyware.
On the software side, the Signature 27 comes with Android 17 preinstalled, along with the usual Google services, Gemini, and Gemini Intelligence. Motorola says it also includes the new Rambler voice dictation feature, which Google introduced with the Pixel 11 series. It also includes “Create My Widget,” a feature that lets users create widgets to their specifications.
Yeah? At this price I'll just not buy this new phone and keep my old, cheaper to produce, phone. The consumer/buyer doesn't have to care why it's expensive, they have to decide if the price is acceptable or not. Motorola could have chosen cheaper components and made a phone that's worse, but also cheaper. That would have likely have been a phone I'd buy but instead they made a flagship that costs 1900€.
At this price It's just not worth it for me.
That seems to have been an error, Germany also gets 7000mAh according to other news outlets that said the same thing and then corrected themselves in an edit.
How can they even justify the price? Samsung's flagship "only" costs 1750€ and even Apple is lower at 1850€, and that's assuming the 1900€ price is for the 512GB variant and not the 256GB where Samsung and Apple would be even cheaper (1550, 1600). Are they really thinking people will choose them over the most popular brands when they are more expensive and less established?
It doesn't release with graphene os so that would be stupid, it ships their android.
If you build your own kernel, the fix is in Linux 5.10.272, 5.15.223, 6.1.190, 6.6.159, 6.12.113, 6.18.56, 7.2.10 and 7.3
I try not to
Sure, you can also just do that now.
