Great update for Motorola phones: These smartphones get Android 16

Android 16 is coming up for many smartphones – even for Motorola devices. In this post you will learn which models will receive the big update and what new features you can look forward to.
- So far, the delivery of Android updates to Motorola is rather sluggish – many models are still waiting for the Android 15 who is now aged over half a year.
- Still, Motorola wants to deliver Android 16 for many of its models. It is still unclear when exactly the releases will take place.
- Unfortunately, we do not yet know what new features the manufacturer will provide with the Android 16 update.
Unfortunately, Motorola is not known to be particularly fast when delivering Android updates – this is also reflected in the fact that many Motorola users are still waiting for their Android 15 update. Nevertheless, the company is already working on the next major Android update in the background. Here we explain which Motorola models will receive the update to Android 16 and what new features you can look forward to.
These Motorola phones get Android 16
Unfortunately, Motorola has only officially confirmed the update to Android 16 for a few of its models so far. Nevertheless, the update promises for the respective models can be seen for which smartphones the update on Android 16 will most likely come:
- Motorola Edge 40 Pro
- Motorola Edge 50, Edge 50 Fusion, Edge 50 Neo, Edge 50 Pro, Edge 50 Ultra
- Motorola G 2025, G Power 2025
- Motorola G35, G45, G55, G75, G85
- Motorola Razr 40, 40 Ultra, 40s
- Motorola Razr 50, 50 Ultra, 50d, 50s
- Motorola Razr+ (2023), Razr (2024), Razr+ (2024)
- ThinkPhone by Motorola
- ThinkPhone 25 by Motorola
Please note that this list is not exhaustive or final and may change in the next few months. In addition, it is not clear when the Android 16 updates for the respective devices should come. Experience shows that it takes Motorola to get up to 12 months after the first release before all their models receive the update. Therefore, you will probably have to wait for something, especially since Google will release the new operating system in a few weeks.
What are the new features of the Android 16 update for Motorola phones?
Unfortunately, we do not know about the possible new features and improvements that Motorola will be installed in its Android 16 updates, just as we do not know about the exact release times. We remember that the leap from Android 14 to Motorola’s Android 15 except a few small design customs has brought virtually no new features – so it’s conceivable that the company could catch up this year.
