After a long four-month wait since the Android 17 beta registration went live for the Edge 50 Ultra, Motorola is finally pushing the beta build to users. That update package has a massive download size of 5.24 GB, and that means users can expect to see some major upgrades.
A Motorola Edge 50 Ultra user on Reddit confirmed the rollout. The update comes with the firmware version A171UVH.42, which also includes the August 2026 security patch, besides core Android 17 features and upgrades.
The update is rolling out to Edge 50 Ultra users who previously signed up for the Android 17 beta program. If you’re among them, the update should arrive on your device at any moment. You can manually check for updates from the System update section in the Settings app.

What’s new in Android 17 beta for Motorola devices?
The changelog is unfortunately thin on details, as you can see in the screenshot above. However, we already know pretty much everything that Android 17 beta offers on Motorola devices. The update introduces new icons for the status bar, a new Classic Control Center, Landscape Stereo, Enhanced HDR Brightness, and Battery health. The Live Updates feature is now integrated into the camera cutout in the middle (previously, it appeared on the left side), similar to Apple’s Dynamic Island.
The lock screen receives new clocks with expanded typography and style options, but without the depth effect feature. Motorola has made it a lot easier to take screenshots (now a three-finger swipe-down gesture) and enable split-screen (now a three-finger swipe-down gesture).
The Android 17 beta brings many more useful changes, including fixing the overlapping network icons, a new volume interface, stronger haptics, a new Moto assistant, and new customization options. The update brings many more changes, which you can read on this page.
