Do not buy a Motorola phone in the upcoming sales. Their updates are frying motherboards and they want 20k to fix it.
Hey guys, I really need to vent about this and warn anyone who uses a Motorola or is considering one.
I got my Edge 50 Fusion in Dec 2024. It was perfect until a software update. The screen started glitching out of nowhere, and then it completely died. It is a total brick now with zero physical or water damage.
I checked online and service centers are demanding 18k to 20k INR for a motherboard replacement. That is literally the cost of the phone itself. We expect these to last at least 3 to 4 years. Nobody can afford to replace a dead phone in under two years, especially with phone prices this high right now.
I actually used to vouch for Moto to my friends and family. It was only after this happened that I saw how widespread this motherboard issue is online. People might say it is just my specific model, but who knows which phone their next update will fry? It is just not worth losing your peace of mind over a software update notification.
If you own a Moto, turn off auto updates right now. Save your hard earned money and avoid this scam brand completely. They will kill your device and leave you with the bill.
Edit: Please help me out on my r/motorola post. I’m getting flooded by Moto fans/bots calling it fake news and calling me a paid actor. Just help me make them understand that this is a genuine issue.
