2 years is pretty rough by modern standard.

Do not buy a Motorola if you care about updates. The site writes that software updates policy can change at anytime and they do not promise anything. Get a samsung, pixel, oneplus if you want updates.

Unless you are in Europe

EU’s new rules will shake up Android update policies
