Experience with the Motorola One

The time came to swap the old Motorola (Motorola E 2nd) for a new one (Motorola One Lite). Android is clean and up to date — thanks to the One programme. That means security updates for the next three years and a clean system. Which was the main reason for the purchase.

A minor disappointment concerned the updates themselves — until a SIM card was inserted, new updates weren't available. As soon as I put one in, everything changed. I also discovered that Android updates incrementally — meaning you have to install all previous updates first. Which isn't entirely practical.

The settings have been considerably simplified — no complicated hunting around. The default app selection has changed — Hangouts gone, Duo in its place. I should mention Google Lens — a handy addition. And of course Google Pay has arrived.
