Motorola has officially announced that over 50 of its smartphones will receive the Android 17 update, including popular models from the Razr, Edge, Moto G, and ThinkPhone families.
The update is already being rolled out to devices like the Motorola Edge 2025 and has entered the beta phase for several others, including the Edge 70 series and Moto G57 Power, a notable budget device.3
Android 17 introduces significant design changes, aligning Motorola's interface more closely with Pixel UI, featuring revamped status bar icons, a new volume control panel, and a centrally-aligned Live Updates pill for real-time notifications.
Motorola's proactive approach in releasing the list of eligible devices contrasts with competitors like Samsung and OPPO, who have yet to announce similar updates.
However, some older models may not receive the update due to having reached the end of their software support period, which has been a point of disappointment for users.
Motorola has improved its software support policy for newer premium devices, ensuring longer update commitments compared to older models.6
Users are advised to check their specific model numbers, as update availability can vary by country and carrier.
Despite the lack of Android 17, Motorola may still provide security patches for some unsupported devices, although older hardware can complicate the update process.
Regional differences may also affect the timing of updates, with some devices receiving the update sooner in certain markets than others.
“The Android 17 beta is already rolling out to devices like the Edge 70 Fusion and Moto G57 Power, with the Edge 2025 receiving the stable update now. Motorola's aggressive push contrasts with Samsung, OPPO, and Vivo, which have yet to release similar lists.”
