Motorola has nearly finished rolling out the Android 15 update, with just a few devices remaining in the queue. These remaining updates are expected to be completed within the next few days or weeks. The focus now shifts to Android 16, which is nearing a stable release—potentially sooner than previous Android versions. Google is expected to officially release Android 16 by June 2025.
If you’re wondering whether your Motorola device will be eligible for the upcoming update, here’s what you need to know.

Motorola’s Weak Software Update Policy
One major drawback of owning a Motorola phone remains its poor software update policy. Even for premium models like the Razr 2025, Motorola only offers three years of Android updates, while mid-range and budget models typically receive just two.
Unlike competitors, Motorola does not maintain a clear update roadmap or publish a list of devices eligible for future Android versions—creating uncertainty among users. Although last year Motorola committed to five years of Android updates for select models like the Edge 50 Neo, the same promise wasn’t extended to new flagship or mid-range models.
In contrast, Samsung and Google are leading the way in Android updates. Samsung offers up to seven years of updates, even for some mid-range phones like the Galaxy A16 5G, which gets six Android updates despite costing only around $200—an unmatched move in the industry.
Final Thoughts
While Motorola makes great smartphones, its software update policy remains one of its biggest flaws. To remain competitive, the company must significantly improve its commitment to long-term updates.
