The two clocks

A device dies twice: once when the hardware wears out, once when the manufacturer stops patching it. Whichever arrives first is the one that actually ends its life. For the Motorola Razr+, that is the manufacturer’s security-update cutoff.

Lifespan by how hard you use it

Usage moves the hardware clock, not the security one. Worked hard, the Motorola Razr+ wears out before its patches run out, so how you use it genuinely changes when it needs replacing.
