Motorola has almost wrapped up the Android 15 rollout to its devices. There may still be a few devices left for the upgrade, which should be completed in the coming days or weeks. The next stop is Android 16, which is almost cooked for a stable release — yes, it’s coming sooner than Android releases in recent years.
Google might release stable Android 16 anytime soon. According to the official timeline, it will go live by June 2025. If you care about new features and software improvements, you must be wondering if your current Motorola phone is eligible for the next big upgrade or if a smartphone upgrade is needed to enjoy the latest features and enhancements. So, here’s the list of Motorola devices that will get the Android 16 update.
Motorola Android 16 eligible devices list
Motorola hasn’t shared which devices will be upgraded to Android 16. So, we had to rely on the existing software update policy and a bit of guesswork in preparing the list.
- Motorola Razr 2025 / Razr 60
- Motorola Razr+ 2025

- Moto G (2025)

If your Motorola device is listed there, you are almost guaranteed to receive an Android 16 upgrade. Other users should wait for an official list because Motorola hasn’t announced the OS update eligibility for many models that only leaves users in the dark.
Motorola has a terrible update policy
Software updates are still one of the biggest concerns with Motorola phones. Take Razr 2025 models, their newest premium offerings, for example, which only promise Android updates for three years. Things only get worse as you move to mid-range and cheaper models, with most of them maxing out at just two.
Worst of all, Motorola hasn’t even announced future update eligibility for many models, leaving them clueless about whether their phones will receive the next upgrade. The brand also doesn’t publish a list of eligible devices for the next upgrade or a planned rollout timeline. This was also true for Android 15.
Motorola, however, showed some confidence last year by announcing five years of Android updates to a mid-range phone like the Edge 50 Neo and later expanding it to a few devices (see the full list here), but now it seems like those were the only lucky devices. Newer models, including the Razr 2025 and Edge 60 models, only promise up to three Android updates.
Other major Android brands like Samsung and Google are taking this game through the roof by offering as many as seven Android updates. Obviously, this applies to flagship models, but the mid-range Galaxy devices aren’t less surprising. Take the $200 Galaxy A16 5G, for example, which promises a whopping six Android updates — something we couldn’t have imagined on cheaper devices a few years ago.
Motorola really needs to work on improving its update policy. Their phones are excellent, otherwise.
