5 recent Motorola cell phones that have been discontinued

Every year we wait for major launches in the smartphone market, and when they arrive, it means that some older model will cease to exist. The problem is that Motorola has been practicing a policy that doesn’t seem to make much sense to users. Modern and recent appliances are going out of production in a short time. In this article, see 5 models from the Moto G line that have already been discontinued in 2024.

5 recent Moto G’s that have already been discontinued

All models on this list were launched less than two years ago and are no longer officially sold by Motorola. This means that they have already been discontinued to make way for models that were launched less recently. The Moto G73, for example, arrived in Brazil a year ago and Motorola has already stopped selling it.

• Moto G82: launched in Brazil in May 2022 – 1 year and 11 months
• Moto G62: launched in Brazil in July 2022 – 1 year and 9 months
• Moto G32: launched in Brazil in August 2022 – 1 year and 8 months
• Moto G53: launched in Brazil in December 2022 – 1 year and 4 months
• Moto G73: launched in Brazil in March 2023 – 1 year and 1 month

You can even find these models for sale in Brazilian retailers, whether in physical stores or e-commerce, but they are no longer sold on the website and in official Motorola stores. In my opinion, the impression it gives is that Motorola no longer recommends the purchase of these models, preferring to highlight cell phones that were launched a few months ago.

The Moto G line is already known for not receiving as much attention from Motorola, especially since the company only guarantees one system update for any Moto G model. I’ll give you an example: Motorola recently launched the Moto G24 Power in Brazil with the Android 14 system from the factory, but at the end of the year Google will launch Android 15. This means that from August this year, the Moto G24 Power will only receive one system update and that’s it, it’s over.

In other words, this policy of “killing” a reasonably new device is just a way for the company to launch more devices per year and consequently force its customers to buy newer, more modern models.

In any case, this problem even affects models in the Edge line, Motorola’s famous high-end series. Devices with a year and a half of life, such as the Edge 30 Fusion It is Edge 30 Ultra have already been discarded from the company’s catalogue. It’s a very short time for a device that is in Motorola’s highest showcase.

Do other brands do the same?

Samsung doesn’t go much further than a generation either, except for products in the FE line. However, we can find the S23 line being sold normally on the brand’s website, which is a generation behind the current model.

Unlike them, on Apple’s official website you can still buy the iPhone 13, launched in 2021. Of course, at the usual exaggerated price, but it’s there for anyone who wants to buy.
