Motorola has a reputation for lagging behind when it comes to software updates for its phones. While things haven’t exactly done a 180, the company has quietly revealed which devices will be getting the jump to Android 15, and it’s a mixed bag.
The news comes courtesy of YTechB, who dug through Motorola’s US website and found confirmations scattered across various device pages. There’s no official master list, but YTechB compiled a handy one nonetheless. It includes a sizable chunk of the Motorola lineup, spanning the Edge and Razr series alongside several Moto G models.

The list may seem extensive, but many phones are missing from it. For instance, the entire Moto G 2023 lineup is missing, along with the Motorola Edge 2023 and any Moto G 2022 phones.
The most surprising omission is the Moto G Play 2024, a budget phone launched in January with Android 13. It received Android 14 this month, but its future updates remain uncertain.
Motorola does deserve some credit for recent efforts toward improving software support. The mid-range Edge 50 Neo, launched last month, boasts five major OS updates and five years of security patches. Still, the company has a significant way to go with the budget-friendly Moto G line, which historically received only one major update.
In contrast, competitors like Samsung offer much longer support. The Galaxy A16, for instance, comes with six years of OS and security updates, and earlier budget models have received four OS updates and five years of security patches. We hope Motorola makes an effort to further improve on this front.
