While Motorola has improved its update policy to offer up to five years of Android updates to many devices, that list is still much smaller compared to those that promise just three OS updates. Unfortunately, the list also includes many of the latest Edge models, as well as the premium Razr foldable phones.
We’ve curated a list of Motorola smartphones that promise to offer three generations of major Android OS updates. For better clarity, we’ve also added the last OS upgrade for every device on the list.
Motorola phones eligible to receive three major Android OS updates
- Motorola Razr 2023 (Razr 40) (last update: Android 16)
- Motorola Razr+ 2023 (Razr 40 Ultra) (last update: Android 16)
- Motorola Razr 2024 (Razr 50) (last update: Android 17)
- Motorola Razr+ 2024 (Razr 50 Ultra) (last update: Android 17)
- Motorola Razr 2025 (Razr 60) (last update: Android 18)
- Motorola Razr+ 2025 (last update: Android 18)
- Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 (Razr 60 Ultra) (last update: Android 18)
- Motorola Edge 70 (last update: Android 19)
- Motorola Edge 60 (last update: Android 18)
- Motorola Edge 60 Pro (last update: Android 18)
- Motorola Edge 60 Fusion (last update: Android 18)
- Motorola Edge 50 Pro (last update: Android 17)
- Motorola Edge 50 Ultra (last update: Android 17)
- Motorola Edge 50 Fusion (last update: Android 17)
- Motorola Edge 40 Pro (last update: Android 16)
- Motorola Edge 30 Ultra (last update: Android 15)
- Motorola ThinkPhone (last update: Android 16)
It’s sad to see the latest Edge models, such as Edge 60 and Edge 70, on the list when its rivals are offering up to six years of Android updates to their mid-range phones. At the very least, Motorola could have offered longer updates to its premium Razr models, which typically receive updates for only up to three years.
On the plus side, Motorola appears to be working towards longer and timely software updates for its smartphones. Last year, it launched the Edge 50 Neo with a promise to offer five Android OS updates, which was later expanded to include the Moto G75, ThinkPhone 25, and Edge 60 Neo. We’d love to see more Motorola devices with this updated policy.

Earlier this year, Motorola took another significant step by promising up to seven Android OS updates for the newly announced Motorola Signature smartphone, matching Google and Samsung. This is certainly a good move from the brand, but it will only make sense if more Motorola devices come with the same software support.
The company has also worked on improving the speed of software rollouts. The Android 16 rollout, for instance, has been expanding to the eligible devices at an improved pace.
