While Motorola has already begun accepting applications for the Android 17 beta program, a couple of devices are still waiting to receive Android 16. Among them was the Motorola Edge 50 Neo, which has just started receiving the stable Android 16 update after over 2 months of beta testing.

Motorola hasn’t confirmed the rollout yet. However, some Edge 50 Neo users are already receiving the update, as spotted by Ytechb. This major upgrade comes with the firmware version W1UI36H.39-17 and has a download size of about 2.14GB. It’s rolling out across several European countries, including Italy, Poland, Spain, and Romania.  Other regions, including India, should start receiving the update soon.

If you have an Edge 50 Neo and are still waiting for an update notification, go to Settings > System updates > Check for updates to check for available updates manually. Since the rollout has just begun, it may take some time to show up on your Motorola device.

The Edge 50 Neo is one of the few Motorola devices that comes with a promise of five OS updates and five years of security updates from the brand. Since it was launched with Android 14, it should receive OS updates until Android 19.

What’s new in Android 16?

While it’s a major OS upgrade, don’t expect major visual changes or groundbreaking features. That said, there are still some useful upgrades and new features that further improve the software experience. It introduces a new notification cooldown feature that prevents you from getting annoyed when an app sends too many notifications from the same app within a short time. It does so by reducing the volume of incoming notifications for that particular app.

Android 16 lets you create custom models based on your needs, in addition to the existing modes, including Do Not Disturb, Bedtime, and Driving. You can also connect to a hotspot of a different device without entering the password, provided that both devices are logged in to the same Google account. The update also brings improvements to hearing aids, protection from malicious apps, and performance upgrades.

Around a week ago, the upcoming Motorola Razr 70 bearing the model number XT2657-2 was spotted on the TENAA certification platform in China. In a new development, the listing has now been updated with images of the phone. Additionally, the device has received approval from the 3C certification platform in China.

Motorola Razr 70’s TENAA images, 3C certification

The Motorola Razr 70’s TENAA images do not show any major improvement in its design. The back panel features a horizontal dual-camera setup with an LED flash along with a large secondary screen. The bottom half has logos for the Motorola batwing and Razr branding. For security, it features a side-mounted fingerprint sensor along with volume buttons on the right edge.

The Razr 70’s 3C certification reveals that it may ship with 33W fast charging. This indicates that the Razr 70 may not offer any improvement in the fast charging department compared to last year’s Razr 60.

Motorola Razr 70 specifications (rumored)

According to previously seen Razr 70’s TENAA listing, the upcoming Motorola Razr 70 is expected to feature a 6.9-inch OLED foldable display with a resolution of 1080 x 2640 pixels, along with a 3.63-inch external screen offering a resolution of 1056 x 1066 pixels. The device is also tipped to include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for security.

For photography, the phone may include a 32-megapixel front camera and a dual rear camera setup comprising two 50-megapixel sensors. Internally, the device is listed with an octa-core processor clocked at 2.75GHz paired with RAM options of 8GB, 12GB, 16GB, and 18GB.

With major certifications under its belt, the Razr 70 could launch in China as soon as next month (April).

Motorola has quietly introduced a new smartphone in its Edge 70 lineup. After launching the Edge 70 Fusion earlier this month and the Edge 70 in October 2025, the company has now added the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion+ 5G. The phone is currently listed on Motorola’s website in Brazil, with no confirmation yet about launches in other regions.

For now, the device appears to be limited to Brazil. Motorola may expand availability to other markets later, possibly across South America. It is also worth noting that the Edge 70 Fusion series can have different hardware depending on the region. The version sold in India, for example, differs from the one sold in other countries.

The Motorola Edge 70 Fusion+ focuses heavily on cameras. It features three 50MP cameras in its class. The main camera uses the Sony LYTIA 710 sensor. The phone also includes a 50MP ultra-wide camera. On the front, there is a 50MP selfie camera. In addition to these, Motorola has added a 10MP telephoto camera to support zoom photography.

The phone runs on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor. It comes with 12GB of RAM and Motorola’s Intelligent RAM Boost feature to improve performance during multitasking. Storage is fixed at 256GB.

Motorola has also highlighted durability on this model. The Edge 70 Fusion+ comes with military-grade protection. It carries IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance. The display is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.

The smartphone uses what Motorola calls the first Quad Curve display in its category. The screen supports a 144Hz refresh rate and Pantone Validated colour accuracy. It can reach a peak brightness of up to 5200 nits.

The phone packs a 5200mAh battery. It supports 68W TurboPower fast charging. According to Motorola, a 10-minute charge can provide enough power for a full day of use.

In Brazil, the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion+ 5G is priced at BRL 2,969, which is about $570. The model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage is available in Pantone Blue Surf and Orient Blue colour options.

Smartphone makers have been steadily increasing battery capacities in recent months. March 2026 will see a handful of phones with huge batteries, including the Honor Magic V6, which offers one of the largest batteries on a foldable phone. Some other models even cross the 9,000mAh and 10,000mAh thresholds, signalling a clear industry shift toward longer battery life. Here’s a look at the phones with huge batteries that have launched or are expected to arrive in March 2026.

Realme Narzo Power – 10,001mAh

Launched earlier this month, the Realme Narzo Power stands out as the phone with the largest battery in this list. It houses an enormous 10,001mAh battery, which is far larger than the capacity typically seen in mainstream smartphones. The device also features 80W wired charging, allowing the massive battery to refill relatively quickly.

In addition to battery endurance, the Narzo Power offers competitive hardware for its segment. It features a 144Hz curved-edge AMOLED display, the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, and a 50-megapixel dual-camera system. The phone is priced from Rs 26,999 (~$295), positioning it as a mid-range device with an unusually large battery.

iQOO Z11- 9,020mAh (upcoming)

The iQOO Z11 is the only unannounced phone on our list. Confirmed to launch this month in China, the Z11 will house a mammoth 9,020mAh battery. Apart from this, the phone is expected to feature a 6.83-inch OLED screen with a 165Hz refresh rate, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. The brand is yet to reveal its design, but it is likely to have the same design language as the existing Z11 Turbo. At present, there’s no information about the phone’s availability outside the Chinese market.

Poco X8 Pro Max – 9,000mAh

The Poco X8 Pro Max is scheduled to launch globally on March 17. It is expected to become the largest battery phone from Poco so far. Reports suggest that the Indian variant may include a 9,000mAh battery, while the global model could feature a slightly smaller 8,550mAh unit.

The device is believed to be a rebranded version of China’s Redmi Turbo 5 Max, which also packs a 9,000mAh battery. If the specifications remain similar, the X8 Pro Max could offer a strong combination of performance and endurance in the upper mid-range segment.

Poco X8 Pro – 7,560mAh

Launching alongside the Pro Max model, the Poco X8 Pro is also expected to focus on battery capacity. The global variant may feature a 6,500mAh battery, while the Indian edition is likely to include a larger 7,560mAh battery.

The rest of its specifications are expected to mirror the Redmi Turbo 5 sold in China. This suggests that the X8 Pro may combine strong performance with improved battery endurance compared to most phones in its category.

iQOO Z11x – 7,200mAh

The iQOO Z11x is set to launch in India on March 12 and is expected to be priced under Rs 23,000 (~$260). The phone will feature a large 7,200mAh battery, which should offer extended usage for gaming and media consumption.

The Z11x will also include the Dimensity 7400 chipset, up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage, and an IP68/IP69-rated dust and water-resistant chassis. These specifications suggest that the phone aims to balance durability, performance, and battery life in the mid-range segment.

Vivo T5x 5G – 7,200mAh

The Vivo T5x 5G is scheduled to launch in India on March 17 and is widely believed to be a rebranded version of the iQOO Z11x. However, Vivo has confirmed that the T5x will feature an even larger 7,500mAh battery.

The iQOO Z11x will reportedly be sold through Amazon, while the Vivo T5x will be available via Flipkart in India. With its massive battery, the device is likely to appeal to users looking for extended battery life at a competitive price.

Honor Magic V6 – 7,150mAh

The foldable Honor Magic V6 was showcased at Mobile World Congress 2026. The global version displayed at the event carries a 6,660mAh battery, but the Chinese variant is confirmed to include a 7,150mAh battery.

Honor appears to be continuing the strategy it used with the previous model by offering different battery capacities depending on the region. The higher-capacity Chinese version is also rumored to include 16GB RAM, 1TB storage, and satellite connectivity, making it one of the most feature-packed foldables expected this year.

Motorola Edge 70 Fusion – 7,000mAh

The Motorola Edge 70 Fusion was announced earlier this month and is priced at Rs 26,999 (~$295). It includes a 7,000mAh battery, making it one of the largest battery devices currently offered by Motorola.

Apart from battery capacity, the phone offers several strong specifications. These include a 144Hz OLED display, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor, and a 50-megapixel dual-camera setup. In some markets, the device may also launch under the Edge 70 Fusion+ branding.

Vivo X300 Ultra – Around 7,000mAh

The Vivo X300 Ultra is expected to debut in China around March 30. Early reports suggest that it may include a battery close to 7,000mAh, which is quite large for a flagship camera-focused smartphone.

The phone will be an ultimate phone for photography as it confirmed to feature a 200-megapixel Sony LYT-901 main camera, a 200-megapixel Samsung HP0 periscope telephoto camera, a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-818 ultra-wide lens, and a 5-megapixel multispectral sensor. The global launch is expected in Q2 2026.

Vivo X300s – Around 7,000mAh

The Vivo X300s, which is expected to launch alongside the Vivo X300 Ultra, may also pack a 7,000mAh battery. So far, the brand has confirmed that the device will feature a 6.78-inch OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 200-megapixel main camera. It remains unclear whether the phone will be released in markets outside of China anytime soon.

Vivo X300 FE – 6,500mAh

The Vivo X300 FE recently went official quietly in Russia last week. The device packs a 6,500mAh battery, which is quite large considering its compact form factor. It features a 6.3-inch display and is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, making it a powerful yet relatively small smartphone with impressive battery capacity.

Ai+ Pulse 2 – 6,000mAh

The Ai+ Pulse 2 is an entry-level 4G LTE smartphone announced earlier this month for Rs 5,999 (~$65). Despite its low price, it includes some notable features, such as a 120Hz display, a 50-megapixel camera, and up to 128GB of storage, which is uncommon in this segment.

Buying a smartphone under $500 in 2026 feels a bit like shopping in the middle aisle of a supermarket. You don’t walk in expecting luxury items, but suddenly there are plenty of surprisingly good things. 

A few years ago, this price range meant making obvious compromises, such as a good-enough processor, average cameras, and software that aged quickly. Fortunately, things are quite different in 2026.

Phones in this segment now come with bright OLED displays, capable chipsets, and batteries that comfortably last a full day. Some even borrow features from devices that cost twice as much. 

Here are the five best smartphones under $500 in March 2026.

Google Pixel 10a

Google’s Pixel A-series has long been the go-to option for people who want a simple Android phone that just works. The Pixel 10a continues that trend. 

Like previous models in the series, the phone focuses heavily on software and camera processing. The camera hardware itself is relatively modest compared to competitors in this list, but Google’s image processing tends to make up for it. 

The Pixel 10a also benefits from Google’s version of Android, which is clean and free of unnecessary extras. The display is a 120Hz OLED panel with a sufficient 2000 nits of brightness. 

However, Google is still using a year-old Tensor G4 chip under the hood. The rest of the Pixel 10 phones have a better Tensor G5 processor. That said, it can handle regular everyday tasks with ease. 

The phone has a 5100mAh Li-Po battery with 30W wired, PD 3.0, and 10W wireless charging support. 

For many buyers, the Pixel 10a is still the safe choice under $500. It’s not designed to stand out in every category, but it avoids major weaknesses.

Nothing Phone (4a) Pro

The Phone (4a) Pro is Nothing’s brand new option for a phone under $500. It keeps the company’s recognizable design language while trying to feel more polished than earlier models.

The phone includes a new Glyph Matrix on the back, which is a circular LED display made up of 137 LEDs. It can show things like a timer, a stopwatch, and such. 

Under the surface, the Phone (4a) Pro runs on a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor and features a 6.83-inch 144Hz AMOLED display with 5000 nits of peak brightness.

As for the camera system, you get a 50MP Sony Lytia 700C sensor for the main camera with optical image stabilization. This is paired with a 50MP Samsung JN5 periscope camera offering 3.5x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultrawide lens. 

Nothing’s software is also fairly clean, which helps the phone feel responsive. The Phone (4a) Pro is not the most powerful option here, but it’s arguably the one with the most personality.

OnePlus 15R

OnePlus has traditionally used its “R” series to deliver strong performance at lower prices, and the 15R follows the same idea.

The phone focuses on two things: speed and battery life. It runs on Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 paired with a dedicated chip that enables 3200Hz of touch sampling rate. 

Speaking of which, it has a 6.83-inch AMOLED display that refreshes at 165Hz. This screen is also PWM capable, HDR 10+, and Dolby Vision certified with a peak brightness of 3600 nits. 

Its biggest highlight, though, is the battery. The 15R includes a 7400mAh battery that can comfortably last through a full day and often stretch into a second day depending on usage. It supports 80W fast charging. 

You also get a fairly decent camera specs of 50MP-megapixel Sony IMX906 main sensor with optical image stabilization, and an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens. There is no dedicated telephoto camera here, so zoom relies on digital cropping.

Motorola Edge 70 Fusion

Motorola’s Edge Fusion series has quietly become one of the more balanced options in the midrange market. The Edge 70 Fusion continues that pattern.

Rather than focusing on one standout feature, the phone aims for overall balance. It includes a capable Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset, a smooth6.78-inch curved OLED display, and a relatively clean version of Android 16. 

The device carries a 7000mAh silicon-carbon battery with 68W fast charging, which the company claims can provide a full day’s usage with a short charge.

Its camera hardware includes a 50-megapixel Sony Lytia 710 primary camera with optical image stabilisation. The setup also includes a 13-megapixel ultra-wide camera with macro support and a dedicated light sensor.

The Edge 70 Fusion is the most affordable option on this list. Its 8GB + 128GB model is priced at Rs 26,999 (~$300), the 8GB + 256GB version costs Rs 29,999 (~$330), and the 12GB + 256GB variant is priced at Rs 32,999 (~$360). 

Realme 16 Pro

Realme often competes in the midrange market by focusing on big numbers in the spec sheet, and the 16 Pro is no different.

One of the first things you notice is the battery. The phone includes a 700mAh battery, which can easily last more than a day with moderate use. It supports 80W wired charging. 

On the front, it has a 6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. The screen can reach a whopping 6500 nits of peak brightness and is protected by AGC DT Star D+ glass. 

Cameras include a 200MP main sensor with OIS and an 8MP ultra-wide on the back. The front has a 50MP selfie camera. Powering everything is a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Max 5G chipset with an Arm Mali G615 GPU. It comes with 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. 

Other features include an in-display fingerprint scanner, face unlock, and all standard sensors.

The midrange market keeps getting better

Looking at these five phones together shows how much the midrange segment has evolved. Not long ago, phones under $500 required obvious compromises, slower processors, weaker cameras, or short software support.

That’s no longer always the case.

The Google Pixel 10a focuses on software and camera reliability. The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro offers a design that stands apart from typical smartphones. The OnePlus 15R leans into performance and battery life. The Motorola Edge 70 Fusion delivers a balanced experience. And the Realme 16 Pro emphasizes large batteries and strong hardware specs.

None of them is perfect, but each one has a different interpretation of what a sub-$500 smartphone should be. Now, it’s up to you to decide which of these phones could be worth it for your money.

Earlier this year, the upcoming Motorola Razr 70 and Razr 70 Ultra were spotted with the respective model numbers XT2657-8 and XT2655-1 at the UAE’s TDRA certification. In a new development, the Razr 70 has now appeared in the database of China’s TENAA certification, revealing key details about its specifications.

Motorola Razr 70 specifications

The TENAA listing reveals that the Motorola Razr 70 will feature a 6.9-inch OLED screen with an FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2640 pixels and a 3.63-inch cover display with a resolution of 1056 x 1066 pixels. For security, it will have a side-facing fingerprint sensor.

Moving on to the optics, the Razr 70 will feature a 32-megapixel front camera and a dual 50-megapixel camera setup on the back. In comparison, the Razr 60 from last year came with a 50-megapixel main camera and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide lens, along with a 32-megapixel selfie camera.

Under the hood, the Razr 70 has a 2.75GHz octa-core chip with 8GB / 12GB / 16GB / 18GB of RAM. It appears that it will have a different chip, as the Razr 60 featured a 2.6GHz Dimensity 7400x SoC.

The Razr 70 may come in storage options such as 128GB / 256GB / 512GB / 1TB. It has a 4,275mAh rated dual-cell battery, with a combination of 1,090mAh and 3,185mAh.

Motorola’s Razr fold has received a DXOMARK camera score of 164, earning the DXOMARK Gold Label for imaging performance. According to DXOMARK’s rankings, this score places the device among the top cameras on foldable smartphones and ranks it 8th overall globally, beating competitors like the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL and the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. Motorola’s recently launched Motorola Signature has also received the same label from the testing lab.

For those unaware, DXOMARK is an independent technology evaluation laboratory that measures the performance of consumer electronics using controlled scientific tests and perceptual analysis. To determine the score, the Razr fold was evaluated using the DXOMARK Camera test suite, which analyzes photo quality, zoom capability, and video performance from a user perspective.

In its findings, DXOMARK reported that the Razr fold performed well in exposure accuracy, dynamic range, and low-light photography. The device produced balanced colors across different lighting conditions, while maintaining good detail and relatively low image noise. The lab also observed accurate skin tone rendering and consistent depth estimation, which helped portrait shots appear natural.

Zoom performance was another area highlighted in the evaluation. The Razr fold includes a dedicated 3x periscope telephoto camera, which produced detailed images with stable color reproduction during testing. DXOMARK noted a balanced texture-to-noise ratio, which helped maintain clarity in zoomed images. Portrait photography also benefited from the 85mm equivalent focal length, which creates natural subject separation. The ultra-wide camera captured a wide field of view while maintaining consistent image quality.

The camera hardware on the Razr fold includes three 50MP rear cameras equipped with Sony LYTIA sensors. The 50MP main camera uses the Sony LYTIA 828 sensor, which Motorola describes as its largest 50MP sensor so far. The system supports AI-based image processing and produces photos with Pantone-validated color and skin tone calibration.

The 50MP periscope telephoto camera uses the Sony LYTIA 600 sensor and supports 3x optical zoom. The phone also offers 100x Super Zoom Pro, which relies on AI processing to maintain detail at long distances. Optical image stabilization is included to reduce blur in zoom shots. The 50MP ultra-wide camera provides a 122° field of view and supports Macro Vision for close-up photography.

For selfies and video calls, the device includes a 20MP front camera with Quad Pixel technology and a 32MP internal camera with Quad Pixel technology, which can be used in laptop mode for hands-free photos or video calls.

Video recording on the Razr fold supports 8K resolution with Dolby Vision, which allows higher dynamic range and improved color reproduction.

Image processing on the device is handled by Motorola’s Photo Enhancement Engine, which uses AI to expand dynamic range, reduce noise, and create software-based bokeh effects. The system also uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Mobile Platform, which supports AI processing for camera performance and efficiency.

The earbuds support Dual Connection, allowing them to stay connected to two devices at the same time. Users can move between a laptop and a phone without reconnecting. The Audio Share feature lets two pairs of Moto Buds 2 Plus connect to one phone to listen together. Wear Detection automatically pauses audio when the earbuds are removed.

Users can customize touch controls for play, pause, track skipping, calls, or launching a voice assistant. On compatible Motorola devices, holding the earbuds activates Moto AI features such as Catch Me Up, Pay Attention, and Remember This. AI-powered translation is also supported on select devices.

It features a quad-curved body where the curved front glass blends smoothly into the rear panel, giving it a slimmer and more refined in-hand feel. The global model measures 7.2mm in thickness and weighs around 177g, while still packing a 5,200mAh battery. It carries IP68 and IP69 ratings along with MIL-STD-810H certification and Gorilla Glass 7i protection.

Reports suggest this variant could later reach global markets under the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion+ branding.

For imaging, the phone features a 50-megapixel Sony LYTIA 710 main sensor with OIS, accompanied by a 13-megapixel ultra-wide lens with macro support.

The post This is when much-awaited Motorola Razr Fold may hit the market appeared first on Gizmochina.

Motorola is all set to announce the Edge 70 Fusion on March 6 in India. While the initial Flipkart teaser page kept specifications under wraps, the updated listing has now disclosed important hardware and software details, offering a clearer idea of what to expect from the upcoming smartphone.

Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 and long-term software commitment confirmed

The refreshed Flipkart page confirms that the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion will be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset. The device will ship with Android 16 layered with Hello UX. Motorola has also committed to three major Android OS upgrades and five years of security updates, which effectively means support up to Android 19.

The handset will come with IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance, along with Gorilla Glass 7i protection for the display and MIL-STD-810H certification for durability. Other confirmed features include NFC and Bluetooth 6.0 support. With these additions, the Edge 70 Fusion appears to be positioned as a well-rounded mid-premium offering rather than just a performance-focused device.

Motorola has already confirmed several hardware highlights of the Edge 70 Fusion. It is said to be the world’s first smartphone to feature an OIS-enabled Sony LYT-710 50-megapixel primary camera. The brand claims improved low-light photography and better highlight control in videos. A 32-megapixel front camera will handle selfies, and all cameras are confirmed to support 4K video recording.

Motorola’s first book-style foldable, the Motorola Razr Fold, has surfaced on Geekbench, shedding light on the chipset powering the device. While the company had unveiled the phone at CES 2026 without confirming the processor, the latest benchmark listing gives a clearer picture of its performance credentials. The development adds fresh detail to what is shaping up to be a premium foldable offering.

Motorola Razr Fold Geekbench listing

The Geekbench entry reveals that the Motorola Razr Fold is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. The listing shows a single-core score of 2,681 and a multi-core score of 9,056, suggesting flagship-grade performance. The processor configuration points to a high-performance setup with cores clocked up to 3.80GHz, paired with the Adreno 829 GPU. The tested unit carries 16GB of RAM and runs Android 16, likely layered with Motorola’s Hello UX interface.

Interestingly, Motorola has not opted for the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 variant. This could be a strategic move to keep overall costs in check, especially considering the expensive nature of book-style foldable hardware. The benchmark also confirms Android 16 and 16GB RAM, positioning the device firmly in the premium segment.

Motorola Razr Fold specifications

The Razr Fold features an 8.09-inch LTPO OLED internal display with 2K resolution, complemented by a 6.6-inch OLED cover screen. On the camera front, it houses a 20-megapixel internal selfie camera and a 32-megapixel external front camera. The rear setup includes a 50-megapixel Sony Lytia primary sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens with macro support, and a 50-megapixel 3x periscope telephoto camera.

The phone runs Android 16 with Hello UX, includes a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and supports the Motorola Pen Ultra. It will be offered in Pantone-certified shades such as Blackened Blue and Lilly White. Additional details are expected to emerge closer to its wider market rollout.

Motorola is making a strong push on the software front this year. Shortly after Google rolled out the first Android 17 beta, the company quickly launched its own Android 17 beta program. Even better, Motorola is steadily expanding the beta to more devices.

So, how do you get access to the Android 17 beta program on a Motorola phone? We’ll tell you all the steps you need to follow here.

Which Motorola phones are eligible for the Android 17 beta program?

Motorola began its Android 17 beta program with Moto G57, Moto G57 Power, and Edge 2025, and quickly expanded to cover more Edge and Moto G series models.

More Motorola smartphones should get access to the Android 17 beta program in the coming days and weeks. We’ll update the list periodically to keep it up-to-date. 

If your Motorola phone is on the list, you can sign up for the Android 17 beta program to get early access to the latest features and upgrades before the stable release.

Steps to sign up for the Android 17 beta program on Motorola devices

Beta builds may contain bugs or broken features. Therefore, it’s advised to install them on a secondary device. Here are the required steps to follow:

Step 1: Create an account on Motorola’s community website. Skip this step if you already have it.

Step 2: Go to “My products” section and and tap “Moto”.

Step 3: Click “Add” and enter the details of your Motorola device.

Step 4: Check the “Opt-in device for MFN” box and click “Submit”.

Step 5: Go to the MFN Beta Testing page and look for the available testing opportunity for your Motorola device.

Step 6: Tap the registration link and fill in the required details.

Motorola may send emails regarding your beta application. Therefore, remember to check your inbox regularly, including the spam folder.

Please note that seats may be limited, so not everyone who signs up for the beta program may receive early access. To increase your chances, you must complete the steps as soon as Motorola announces the beta program for your device.

Once your application gets approved, you’ll receive an OTA update soon. You can also manually check for updates by navigating to Settings > System updates > Check for updates.

Motorola is clearly stepping up its software game. Just a day ago, it began the Android 17 beta program ahead of its competitors, and now, the beta program has just gone live for a new set of smartphones.

The Motorola Edge 2025, Moto G57, and Moto G57 Power were the first phones to join the Android 17 beta program. Now, it’s expanding to Moto G86, Moto G86 Power, Motorola Edge 60, Edge 60 Fusion, Edge 70, and Edge 70 Fusion in multiple regions.

• Motorola Edge 70 – India, LATAM, EMEA, Brazil
• Motorola Edge 70 Fusion – Brazil
• Motorola Edge 60 – EMEA, India, Brazil
• Motorola Edge 60 Fusion – EMEA, India, Brazil
• Motorola Moto G86 – EMEA, Brazil
• Motorola Moto G86 Power – EMEA, India

Here, EMEA refers to Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and LATAM refers to Latin America.

If you have any of these Motorola smartphones and live in a supported region, you can sign up for the Android 17 beta program to get early access to the latest features and upgrades. However, that also means you’re ready to face bugs or broken features that may appear in beta builds.

Here’s how to sign up for Motorola’s Android 17 beta program

1. Create an account on Motorola’s community website (if you haven’t already).
2. Visit the profile page and update your IMEI or serial number (SN) details.
3. Opt in for MFN on your Motorola community profile.
4. Always ensure that your phone is running the latest software.
5. Go to the MFN Beta Testing Opportunities page to see a testing opportunity for your Motorola device.

Once your beta application is approved, you’ll receive an OTA update. It’s best to manually check for updates once in a while by navigating to Settings > System updates > Check for updates.

While the Android 17 beta program has gone live for several Motorola phones, the update rollout is yet to begin. Once that happens, we’ll learn about the new features and changes. For now, users can expect to see Material 3 Expressive enhancements, Live Notification updates, and a redesigned desktop mode, among many changes.

We’ll keep posting the latest updates in the Motorola section. Remember to visit that regularly to get fresh updates. Alternatively, you can join our Telegram channel to get instant notifications about the latest in tech.

The post Motorola expands Android 17 beta program to more devices appeared first on Gizmochina.

Even though the Android 16 rollout hasn’t gone smoothly for Motorola devices, the company has shown clear signs it’s focusing on improving the software rollout. But I wasn’t expecting a dramatic shift this soon. The company has just announced the Android 17 beta program, becoming the first non-Google brand to do so.

It has been just a couple of days since Google released the first Android 17 beta. We were expecting third-party manufacturers to launch the Android 17 beta program in a few weeks, as has typically been the case in the past, but Motorola had a different plan. The Android 17 beta program is live for Moto Edge 2025, Moto G57, and Moto G57 Power.

The Android 17 beta program for these Motorola smartphones is currently available in select regions, as Motorola posted on the official forum. We’ve listed the devices and supported regions below, along with the direct link to the official beta program page.

• Moto Edge 2025 – US
• Moto G57 – EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa)
• Moto G57 Power – India, EMEA

If you want to test early builds of Android 17, you can sign up for the beta program by following the steps mentioned below. Note that beta builds are prone to having bugs and errors. So, it’s best to install them on a secondary device.

It’s surprising to see Motorola launching its Android 17 beta program, starting with mid-range and budget models, not premium models like other brands do. It should expand to more devices in the coming days and weeks. We’ll keep an eye on the latest information and post them in the Motorola section.

How to sign up for Motorola’s Android 17 beta program?

1. Create an account on Motorola’s community website (if you haven’t already).
2. Visit the profile page and update your IMEI or serial number (SN) details.
3. Opt in for MFN on your Motorola community profile.
4. Always ensure that your phone is running the latest software.
5. Go to the MFN Beta Testing Opportunities page to see a testing opportunity for your Motorola device.
6. Tap on the registration link for your Motorola phone.
7. Fill in the required details and submit your application.

Motorola may send emails containing more details about your beta application. Therefore, remember to check your inbox regularly, including the spam folder. You can also manually check for new updates via the Settings app.

Google has planned a few more betas ahead of the stable release, which is scheduled for Q3 2026. For Motorola, that’s a quick start to Android 17, but it will be exciting to see how things go forward because that’s where Motorola struggles the most. Last year, it began the Android 16 rollout earlier than most brands but struggled to deliver updates to other devices on time.

As can be seen above, the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion will be the world’s first smartphone to feature an OIS-enabled Sony LYT-710 50-megapixel camera. While details about this camera are not known, the Lenovo-owned brand advertises that it can capture ultra-clear low-light shots and brighter highlights in videos.

For selfies, the Edge 70 Fusion will have a 32-megapixel front camera. The brand confirmed that all cameras will support 4K video recording.

The Edge 70 Fusion will feature a quad-curved AMOLED panel that supports a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. Additionally, it will support 5200 nits of peak brightness and offer 96.2 percent screen space. It will also offer other features like HDR10+ support, SGS eye protection, and Smart Water Touch 3.0, which will make it possible to use the display with wet fingers.

The Edge 70 Fusion is confirmed to pack a massive 7,000mAh battery with 68W fast charging support. Despite housing a huge silicon-carbon battery, the device will measure only 7.99mm in thickness. It will be available in three shades, such as Country Air, Blue Surf, and Silhouette.

Motorola Edge 70 Fusion launch timeframe

The brand has confirmed that it will reveal more features on March 2, which indicates that it may debut in the first half of the month.

The post Motorola Edge 70 Fusion listing hints March launch; Sony LYT-710 50MP cam, 7,000mAh battery confirmed   appeared first on Gizmochina.

Motorola has started teasing its next Edge series phone in India, and all signs point to the upcoming Motorola Edge 70 Fusion.

The company hasn’t explicitly named the device in its initial X posts, but the hints are hard to miss. One teaser cleverly played around with the word “fusion,” alongside images of a new handset in bright, textured finishes. Shortly after, Flipkart went live with a dedicated promo page carrying the tagline, “a fusion that gives you the edge.” At that point, the identity was pretty clear.

Color options confirmed

Flipkart’s microsite confirms three color options for India: Pantone Blue Surf, Pantone Country Air, and Pantone Silhouette. All three appear to feature Motorola’s now-familiar leather-inspired textured back, which has become a signature look for the brand’s recent Edge devices.

Earlier global leaks suggested as many as five Pantone shades, including Orient Blue and Sporting Green, but it looks like India may be getting a trimmed-down selection at launch.

The overall design sticks to Motorola’s recent formula: curved display edges, slim bezels, and a distinct camera module that blends into the back panel.

One confirmed detail is the presence of a “LYTIA camera,” which likely refers to a Sony LYTIA sensor. Leaks suggest the main camera could be a 50MP unit, with improved low-light performance.

As for the processor, earlier rumors pointed toward the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3. However, more recent leaks, including marketing renders and benchmark listings, suggest the phone may instead use the newer Snapdragon 7s Gen 4. If true, that would bring modest CPU and GPU improvements, along with better efficiency compared to the previous generation.

The rest of the spec sheet hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, but leaks paint a fairly ambitious mid-range picture. The Edge 70 Fusion is rumored to pack:

• A massive 7,000mAh battery
• 68W fast charging
• A 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate
• Up to 12GB RAM
• Android 16 out of the box

Launch timeline

Flipkart has promised more details on February 23, while subtle hints in the promo page URL suggest February 26 could be a key date — possibly for launch or availability. Motorola hasn’t officially confirmed the timeline yet.

The Android 16 update is finally rolling out to Motorola’s most premium smartphones, Razr 2025 and Razr Ultra 2025, in the US, just as Google has released the first Android 17 beta. Both Razr phones entered Android 16 beta testing about half a year ago, and now, after a long wait, the stable update is finally here.

The Android 16 update for 2025’s Razr smartphones is currently available on T-Mobile and Verizon carriers in the US, as spotted by Ytechb. For the Razr 2025, the update arrives with the firmware version W1UC36H.96-35-1, whereas the Razr Ultra 2025 users can identify the update by the firmware version W1VL36H.59-55-5.

This is the first major OS update for the Razr 2025 and Razr Ultra 2025, which has a massive download size of about 4GB. It’s best to download such large packages over Wi-Fi and make sure the battery is at least 40% charged for a smooth upgrade to Android 16.

While it’s a major OS upgrade, don’t expect major visual changes or groundbreaking features. That said, there are still some useful upgrades and new features that further improve the software experience. It introduces a new notification cooldown feature that prevents you from getting annoyed when an app sends too many notifications from the same app within a short time. It does so by reducing the volume of incoming notifications for that particular app.

Android 16 lets you create custom models based on your needs, in addition to the existing modes, including Do Not Disturb, Bedtime, and Driving. You can also connect to a hotspot of a different device without entering the password, provided that both devices are logged in to the same Google account. The update also brings improvements to hearing aids, protection from malicious apps, and performance upgrades.

While Motorola is busy rolling out the Android 16 update, Google has already started developing Android 17. In fact, the first beta has been out for a few days now, with more to arrive in the coming weeks and months. The stable build could arrive around June or July 2026. We’ve a dedicated Android 17 section where we regularly post the latest developments on the same. You can follow that along to stay up-to-date.

Motorola is preparing to launch its first Edge-series smartphone of 2026, the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion. The device was first revealed through renders last month, followed by additional marketing images shared by leakster Evan Blass. New marketing materials have now surfaced (via Ytechb), confirming key specifications that were previously unclear, including the processor.

According to the latest images, the Edge 70 Fusion will be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset, resolving earlier confusion caused by a leaked spec sheet that suggested Snapdragon 7s Gen 3. The phone will launch with 12GB RAM, alongside an 8GB variant. Motorola will offer the device in five color options: Blue Surf, Country Air, Orient Blue, Sporting Green, and Silhouette.

The smartphone will feature a 6.78-inch quad-curved OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and protection from Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. It will also carry IP68 and IP69 certifications for dust and water resistance, positioning it as a durable mid-range option.

Earlier coverage provided additional context about the device’s design and rumored hardware. Previous leaks showcased the Edge 70 Fusion in Silhouette and Country Air finishes before new renders revealed Blue Surf, Orient Blue, and Sporting Green. The design follows Motorola’s familiar Edge-series language, including the signature rear camera module and a textured back panel inspired by nylon and linen materials. Despite a large battery, the phone appears relatively slim, suggesting a focus on ergonomics.

Previous specs leak claim that the 6.78-inch display will have a peak brightness of up to 5,200 nits. Camera hardware could offer a 50-megapixel Sony LYTIA primary sensor and a 32-megapixel front camera. The phone is also expected to pack a large 7,000mAh battery with 68W charging, run Android 16 out of the box, and include MIL-STD-810H durability certification alongside IP68 and IP69 ratings.

Design and Display

Build and Feel

The Motorola Signature features Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front, an aluminum frame, IP68/IP69 certification, and MIL-STD-810H compliance. It feels flagship in both durability and finish, with thoughtful extras like UWB support and Smart Connect. The Oppo Reno 15 also offers IP68/IP69 protection, Gorilla Glass 7i, and a premium glass back with an aluminum frame. However, the Signature’s stronger glass and added ecosystem features make it feel more complete and future-ready. The Reno 15 still carries a refined aesthetic, but it leans more toward style than rugged confidence.

Display Quality

Motorola Signature’s 6.8-inch LTPO AMOLED panel pushes boundaries with 165Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and an eye-catching 6200 nits peak brightness. It feels built for gaming and HDR streaming at the highest level. Oppo Reno 15 offers a sharp AMOLED panel with 120Hz and HDR10+, but brightness and refresh rate are more conventional. The Signature clearly delivers a more immersive and smoother experience.

Verdict

Motorola Signature wins this round with its brighter LTPO display, higher refresh rate, and tougher glass protection.

Specifications Including Battery

Performance

Motorola Signature runs on Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 with UFS 4.1 storage and up to 16GB RAM. Combined with Android 16 and seven promised major updates, it positions itself as a long-term powerhouse. Performance is flagship-grade, built for gaming, AI workloads, and heavy multitasking. Oppo Reno 15 uses Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 with UFS 3.1 storage, offering solid upper mid-range performance. It handles daily tasks smoothly, but doesn’t match flagship-level power. The Signature simply operates in a higher performance tier.

Battery and Charging

Oppo Reno 15 packs a larger 6500mAh battery with 80W wired charging and broad charging protocol support. It’s clearly designed for endurance-focused users. Motorola Signature offers 5200mAh but compensates with 90W wired, 50W wireless, and reverse wireless charging. The wireless flexibility makes it feel more premium and versatile.

Verdict

Motorola Signature wins on raw performance and charging versatility, while Reno 15 excels in sheer battery capacity.

Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses

Motorola Signature offers a triple 50MP setup, including a periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom and advanced 8K Dolby Vision video recording. The sensor sizes and stabilization give it strong flagship credibility. Oppo Reno 15 also features a 50MP main and 50MP telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom, but its 8MP ultrawide is less competitive. Video tops out at 4K, making it less ambitious overall. The Signature’s camera system feels more complete and high-end.

Selfie Camera

Both phones feature 50MP selfie cameras with 4K recording. Reno 15 offers an ultrawide selfie lens, which is useful for group shots. Motorola Signature, however, includes dual-pixel autofocus and higher frame rate options, giving it more versatility for video creators.

Verdict

Motorola Signature takes the edge thanks to stronger ultrawide hardware and advanced 8K Dolby Vision recording.

Pricing

Motorola Signature is priced around $660 (₹59,000), positioning it firmly in flagship territory. Oppo Reno 15 comes in at approximately $500 (₹46,000), targeting upper mid-range buyers. The price gap is significant, but so is the performance and display difference.

For buyers who want top-tier processing, LTPO 165Hz display, wireless charging, and extended Android updates, the Signature justifies its higher price. However, Reno 15 offers strong cameras, a massive battery, and premium build at a more accessible price, making it a smart value-driven option.

Verdict

Motorola Signature delivers more power and features, while Oppo Reno 15 offers better value for budget-conscious buyers.

Disclaimer:
Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, and applicable taxes.

Conclusion

Motorola Signature stands out with Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, 165Hz LTPO display, 8K Dolby Vision recording, wireless charging, UWB support, and seven Android upgrades. It is clearly engineered for users who want cutting-edge hardware and longevity.

Oppo Reno 15 shines with its 6500mAh battery, solid telephoto performance, fast 80W charging, and competitive pricing. It feels tailored for users who prioritize endurance and balanced daily performance without stretching the budget too far.

Verdict

Motorola Signature is the superior flagship with stronger performance, display, and camera technology. Oppo Reno 15 is the smarter pick for value-focused buyers who want reliability, battery life, and solid camera performance at a lower price point.

Design and Display

Build and Feel

The Motorola Signature delivers a true flagship vibe with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front, an aluminum frame, and IP68/IP69 protection. It also carries MIL-STD-810H compliance and Ultra Wideband support, pushing it toward premium durability territory. The OnePlus 13s keeps things refined with a glass and aluminum build, but its IP65 rating feels more mid-premium than ultra-flagship. Motorola’s ultrasonic fingerprint scanner adds a more advanced touch compared to the optical unit on the 13s. The Signature feels engineered for long-term flagship ownership, while the 13s leans toward compact practicality.

Display Quality

Motorola packs a 165Hz LTPO AMOLED panel with Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and a stunning 6200-nit peak brightness. It’s built for outdoor clarity and fluid gaming. The OnePlus 13s offers a smaller LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and 2160Hz PWM dimming, which is easier on the eyes. However, brightness and refresh fluidity clearly favor Motorola.

Verdict

Motorola Signature wins with superior protection, brightness, and refresh rate, making it feel more premium overall.

Specifications Including Battery

Performance

The Motorola Signature runs on Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 with UFS 4.1 storage and up to 16GB RAM, paired with Android 16 and seven major updates. That long-term support adds serious value. The OnePlus 13s uses Snapdragon 8 Elite, which delivers slightly higher peak clock speeds and strong efficiency. However, it runs Android 15 with OxygenOS 16 and fewer confirmed upgrade commitments. Both are powerhouse performers, but Motorola’s update promise strengthens long-term reliability.

Battery and Charging

Motorola houses a 5200mAh silicon-carbon battery with 90W wired, 50W wireless, and reverse wireless charging. OnePlus counters with a larger 5850mAh battery and 80W wired charging, plus bypass charging. The 13s may last longer per charge, but Motorola’s wireless ecosystem adds versatility that feels more complete.

Verdict

Motorola edges ahead for balanced power, faster wireless charging, and longer software support.

Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses

Motorola Signature features a triple 50MP setup, including a 3x periscope telephoto and ultrawide lens. It supports 8K recording with Dolby Vision and 10-bit HDR10+, placing it firmly in pro-grade territory. The OnePlus 13s offers a dual 50MP system with 2x optical zoom and Dolby Vision 4K recording. While capable, it lacks a dedicated ultrawide lens and advanced zoom flexibility. Motorola’s setup feels built for versatility and creative freedom.

Selfie Camera

Motorola’s 50MP front camera with dual-pixel autofocus supports 4K at up to 60fps, delivering flagship-level clarity. The OnePlus 13s includes a 32MP autofocus selfie shooter with 4K at 30fps. Both are solid, but Motorola provides sharper output and better video options.

Verdict

Motorola Signature clearly dominates with its triple-camera flexibility and 8K Dolby Vision capability.

Pricing

Motorola Signature is priced at approximately $660 / ₹59,000, while the OnePlus 13s comes in around $650 / ₹51,000. The price gap in India is noticeable, with OnePlus undercutting Motorola by a meaningful margin. The 13s offers flagship-grade performance at a lower cost, making it attractive for value-focused buyers. However, Motorola justifies its higher price through superior display brightness, triple cameras, stronger protection ratings, and wireless charging support.

For users prioritizing compact design and cost savings, the OnePlus 13s feels like a smart buy. Those seeking full flagship features may find Motorola’s pricing justified.

Verdict

OnePlus 13s wins on value, but Motorola offers more features for the premium paid.

Disclaimer:
Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, and applicable taxes.

Conclusion

Motorola Signature stands out with its 165Hz ultra-bright display, triple 50MP camera system, 8K Dolby Vision video, UWB support, and 50W wireless charging. It also promises seven Android upgrades, which strengthens long-term appeal. The OnePlus 13s impresses with a compact form factor, larger battery, bypass charging, and competitive pricing. OxygenOS also remains one of the cleaner Android experiences, which many users appreciate.

Motorola feels like a complete flagship experience without compromises. The OnePlus 13s feels like a refined, high-performance compact alternative that prioritizes efficiency and price.

Verdict

Overall, the Motorola Signature is the better all-around flagship thanks to its brighter 165Hz display, more versatile triple cameras with 8K video, stronger durability, wireless charging, and longer software support. It simply offers a more complete and future-proof experience. OnePlus 13s remains a strong value option with great performance and battery at a lower price, but in pure overall capability, the Motorola Signature takes the lead.

Design and Display

Build and Feel

Motorola Signature features a Gorilla Glass Victus 2 front, an aluminum frame, IP68/IP69 protection, and MIL-STD-810H compliance. It feels premium yet balanced, with added durability confidence. OnePlus 15 also uses Victus 2 with an aluminum alloy frame and offers IP68/IP69K protection, plus a unique Micro-Arc Oxidation finish on select variants. Both look flagship-grade, but Motorola’s cleaner aesthetic and Bose-tuned audio branding give it a slightly more refined personality, while OnePlus feels bold and performance-focused.

Display Quality

Motorola Signature packs a 6.8-inch LTPO AMOLED with 165Hz refresh rate and an extreme 6200 nits peak brightness, alongside Dolby Vision and HDR10+. OnePlus 15 matches the 165Hz LTPO panel and Dolby Vision but peaks at 1800 nits in HBM and adds Ultra HDR support. Both displays are ultra-smooth and vibrant, yet Motorola’s higher peak brightness gives it stronger outdoor visibility on paper.

Verdict

Motorola Signature feels more balanced and brighter overall, while OnePlus 15 leans toward a flashy, high-performance visual experience.

Specifications Including Battery

Performance

Motorola Signature runs on Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 with Adreno 829, while OnePlus 15 steps ahead with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Adreno 840. The OnePlus chip pushes higher clock speeds, clearly targeting gamers and heavy multitaskers. Both offer UFS 4.1 storage and up to 16GB RAM, but OnePlus positions itself as the raw performance leader. Motorola, however, promises up to seven major Android upgrades, which strengthens its long-term value. That extended support makes it feel like a safer investment for longevity.

Battery and Charging

Motorola houses a 5200mAh silicon-carbon battery with 90W wired and 50W wireless charging. OnePlus dominates capacity with a massive 7,300mAh battery and 120W wired charging, reaching full charge in about 40 minutes. It also supports multiple fast-charging standards and bypass charging. OnePlus clearly targets power users who demand endurance.

Verdict

For pure speed and battery life, the OnePlus 15 leads. For long-term software support, Motorola Signature holds a strategic advantage.

Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses

Motorola Signature delivers a triple 50MP setup including a 3x periscope telephoto and ultrawide lens, supporting 8K Dolby Vision recording and 4K at 120fps. OnePlus 15 also features triple 50MP sensors with a 3.5x periscope and advanced color tuning tools like LUT preview. Both support 8K video, but OnePlus offers slightly longer optical zoom. Motorola’s larger primary sensor may offer better natural light capture, giving it a more photography-focused feel.

Selfie Camera

Motorola steps ahead with a 50MP autofocus selfie shooter capable of 4K at up to 60fps. OnePlus uses a 32MP autofocus camera with 4K video. The higher resolution and dual-pixel PDAF on Motorola suggest sharper and more detailed front shots.

Verdict

Motorola feels stronger for balanced photography and selfies, while OnePlus leans toward creative flexibility and tuning tools.

Pricing

Motorola Signature is priced at approximately $660 (₹59,000), while the OnePlus 15 sits at around $900 (₹80,000). That is a significant price gap. Motorola delivers a flagship-grade display, triple 50MP cameras, a premium build, and long-term updates at a much lower price. OnePlus justifies its premium with a larger battery, faster charging, and a stronger chipset. The difference reflects performance ambition versus value balance.

Is the Price Justified?

OnePlus 15 justifies its pricing for gamers and power users who want maximum battery and performance. However, Motorola Signature offers near-flagship specs at a noticeably lower cost, making it feel like the smarter value pick for most buyers.

Verdict

Motorola Signature offers stronger value for money, while OnePlus 15 caters to those willing to pay extra for top-tier power.

Disclaimer:
Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, and applicable taxes.

OnePlus 15 counters with a massive 7300mAh battery, 120W fast charging, bypass charging, advanced HDR display support, and slightly stronger chipset performance. Motorola feels balanced and longevity-focused, while OnePlus feels engineered for speed and endurance.

Verdict

Motorola Signature is the better all-rounder and value flagship. OnePlus 15 is the powerhouse choice for users who prioritize battery life and peak performance above all else.

Verdict

For most buyers, the Motorola Signature is the better overall pick because it delivers more flagship hardware for less money.

The Galaxy S25 is ideal for those who prioritize brand ecosystem, compact design, and software refinement over raw specifications.

The post Motorola Signature vs Samsung Galaxy S25: The $660 Flagship That Beats Samsung appeared first on Gizmochina.

In January, well-known tipster Evan Blass shared the key specifications of the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion. Later, another report surfaced to showcase the phone in Silhouette (Black) and Country Air shades. Now, Blass is back again with a fresh set of images that showcase the phone in as many as five color options.

New renders highlight design and colour options

The latest set of images showcases the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion in other paintjobs, such as Blue Surf, Orient Blue, and Sporting Green. The renders indicate a familiar design language as the Edge 70, including Motorola’s signature rear camera layout and a textured back panel inspired by nylon and linen materials. The device appears relatively slim despite housing a large battery, suggesting that Motorola may be focusing on balancing ergonomics with endurance.

Promotional images accompanying the leak provide a clearer look at the curved edges and quad-curved display profile. While the overall aesthetic resembles earlier Edge series models, the updated finishes and materials give the device a slightly refreshed appearance. The smartphone is also expected to retain a premium design approach without moving into flagship pricing territory.

Motorola Edge 70 Fusion specifications (rumored)

The Motorola Edge 70 Fusion is rumoured to feature a 6.78-inch quad-curved AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support and peak brightness reaching up to 5,200 nits, protected by Gorilla Glass 7i. It could be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset paired with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.

The handset may include a 50-megapixel primary camera using a Sony LYTIA sensor alongside a 32-megapixel front camera. It will house a large 7,000mAh battery with 68W charging support, Android 16 out of the box, IP68 and IP69 ratings, and MIL-STD-810H certification for durability.

Although pricing details remain unclear, the emergence of marketing materials indicates that the Edge 70 Fusion could be unveiled in the near future, likely targeting markets where previous Fusion models were available.

Motorola looks set to update its TWS lineup, with a new leak pointing to what appears to be the Moto Buds 2 Plus. The earbuds haven’t been announced yet, but fresh renders suggest the company is sticking close to a formula that already worked.

The images published by Android Headlines show the Moto Buds 2 Plus in blue and white finishes. At a glance, the earbuds themselves don’t look drastically different from the previous Moto Buds Plus, which hints that Motorola is aiming for refinement rather than a full redesign.

One detail that stands out is the continued “Sound by Bose” branding. The partnership with Bose was one of the stronger points of the original model, particularly for tuning and noise cancellation, and it appears Motorola isn’t moving away from that strategy. While there’s no confirmation yet on specific audio features, it’s reasonable to expect similar sound characteristics, possibly with some quiet improvements under the hood.

The earbuds keep a stem-style design, which remains popular for both comfort and call quality. The bigger visual change shows up in the charging case. Instead of the flat, horizontal layout used earlier, the Moto Buds 2 Plus appear to store vertically. It also suggests Motorola may be trying to slim down the case profile a bit.

Pricing details haven’t been confirmed, but current expectations put the Moto Buds 2 Plus around the $199.99 mark, roughly where the previous generation launched. If that holds, it would keep the earbuds positioned as a relatively accessible premium option, especially compared to higher-priced models from Sony, Apple, or Bose itself.

Motorola hasn’t commented on the leak, which isn’t unusual at this stage. Still, the fact that these renders are coming from established sources, including Evan Blass, suggests the product is well along in development. Launch timing remains unclear, but this doesn’t look like something that’s far off.

While Motorola isn’t the fastest brand when it comes to software rollouts, it’s improved a lot with the Android 16 rollout. In fact, it was one of the very first brands to push the Android 16 update, which has now expanded to over a dozen smartphones. We’ve curated a list of those devices and a separate list of Motorola devices currently part of the beta program.

Motorola is working on the successor to the Razr 60 foldable flip phone, and a fresh certification sighting hints that its release might be near. The upcoming Razr 70 has been spotted on the UAE’s Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) certification database, so here’s what we know.

Motorola Razr 70 Launching Soon

Looking at the listing, Motorola’s new clamshell folding phone carries the XT2657-8 model number. This official approval in the United Arab Emirates suggests that Motorola is preparing to launch the next-gen Razr flip phone in the global market soon. While Motorola hasn’t revealed an official timeline or specifications yet, regulatory sign-offs like the TDRA often happen just weeks ahead of an official announcement.

The certification doesn’t reveal any finer details like its specs and features either, but industry sources does offer some hints. Motorola’s new Razr 70 might sport a tall 6.9-inch LTPO foldable screen, which is coupled with a 3.63-inch cover display on the rear. Under the hood, it is expected to be equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 7400X SoC. A 4,500mAh battery pack could power this device, which likely offers fast charging support.

For photography, the rear will likely still offer a dual camera setup. Given Motorola’s recent smartphone launches, we could see upgrades in cover display size, hinge design, camera performance, and battery efficiency. In related news, the Razr 60 Ultra recently received the Android 16 OS update with various new features and bug fixes, while the Motorola Razr Fold debuted as the brand’s first notebook style folding phone.

While Motorola has already released the Android 16 update to dozens of eligible devices, some high-end smartphones are still awaiting their turn. The Razr 2024 was also one of them, and it has now started receiving the Android 16 update, which brings a host of useful upgrades.

The latest update for Motorola Razr 2024 (also known as Razr 50) has been spotted rolling out in Canada with the firmware version W1UX36H.72-45-4. It’s a big upgrade with a download size of about 2GB. Android 16 is the second major OS update for the Razr 2024, and will receive another upgrade sometime next year as the final one. The device will, however, continue to receive security updates for a while.

As the initial release, the update is available in Canada, and soon, it will start rolling out to other regions. To check if the update is available on your Motorola smartphone, go to Settings > System updates > Check for updates. Once the update reaches your device, ensure that it has sufficient storage and is charged to at least 40% for a smooth upgrade to Android 16.

Here’s the complete Android 16 changelog, detailing every single change:

Feature improvements
After upgrading, you’ll see the following improvements to the Android operating system and other apps.

Find modes in one place
Now you can find these modes in Settings > Modes:

– Do Not Disturb
– Bedtime
– Driving

You can also create custom modes to fit any situation where you want to choose a different set of people or apps who can interrupt you.

Toggle these modes on or off in quick settings.

Connect to Wi-fi and hotspot with one tap
If your phone and device you want to connect to its hotspot are using the same Google account, you no longer need to enter a password to connect.

Better support for low-energy audio hearing aids
You can now choose to use either your hearing aid’s built-in microphone or your phone’s microphone during voice calls. Additionally, you can adjust the volume of ambient sound captured by the hearing aid’s microphones. These options help enhance call clarity, especially in noisy environments or when your hearing aid’s battery is running low.

Other improvements
Android system updates add more than new features. Using the latest Android update provides other improvements such as:
– Enhanced security and protection to defend against evolving threats like malware, phishing, and data breaches
– App compatibility with newer apps, which often require the latest Android version to function correctly
– Performance improvements that optimize your phone’s operating system for smoother performance, better stability, and, in some cases, longer battery life
– Bug fixes and stability enhancements to resolve known issues and improve overall reliability and stability

The post Motorola rolls out Android 16 update to Razr 2024 appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Moto G17, which recently launched in parts of Europe, is already drawing criticism, and not because of its hardware. The issue is software support, or more specifically, how little of it Motorola is expected to offer.

The Moto G17 was announced last week as a refresh to the Moto G15. Changes are limited. The most noticeable upgrade is a 32MP front-facing camera, while most other specs remain familiar. The phone runs on the MediaTek Helio G81 Extreme and ships with Android 15, an OS version that first rolled out in mid-2024 and now feels a generation behind in early 2026.

On the UK product page, the company explicitly promises two years of security updates, taking coverage to around early 2028. There is no mention of any Android version upgrades.

The company points to EU Ecodesign regulations, which require manufacturers to provide security, corrective, and functionality updates for several years after a product stops being sold. Crucially, the rules only apply to major Android upgrades if a manufacturer chooses to offer them. That wording allows companies to meet legal requirements while skipping OS version updates entirely.

While this approach appears to comply with the letter of the law, it has not gone over well with critics. Budget rivals are doing far more. The Samsung Galaxy A17, for example, is promised up to six Android version updates, and Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 15 line offers four years of OS upgrades.

At roughly £150, the Moto G17 still offers decent basics—a large display, IP64 protection, and a 50MP main camera. But buyers are being asked to accept limited long-term support in return.

As the phone rolls out across EMEA markets, it highlights a growing split in the budget segment: some brands now treat long software support as standard, while others continue to treat it as optional.

The post Motorola Signature flagship killer finally on sale: Here’s the launch offers appeared first on Gizmochina.

Motorola has announced the Moto G17 Power and Moto G17, two new mid-range smartphones focused on long battery life, capable cameras, and a practical feature set for everyday use. The devices are aimed at users who want reliable performance, solid imaging, and modern software without moving into higher price segments. These devices have debuted alongside the Moto G77 and G67, which we have covered separately.

Performance

Both phones are powered by the MediaTek Helio G81 Extreme processor. The chipset uses an octa-core CPU setup with two Cortex-A75 cores clocked at up to 2.0GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores running at up to 1.7GHz. Graphics are handled by an Arm Mali-G52 MC2 GPU clocked at 820MHz. It is worth noting that the software side is based on Android 15, rather than the latest Android 16.

Memory options include 4GB or 8GB of physical RAM. Motorola’s RAM Boost feature allows users to extend memory using internal storage, offering up to 8GB or 16GB of additional virtual RAM, depending on the variant. Storage options include 128GB and 256GB, with support for microSD cards up to 1TB. This makes the Moto G17 suitable for users who store large photo libraries, videos, or offline content.

Display & Design

The display is a 6.72-inch FHD+ LCD panel with a 20:9 aspect ratio and a 60Hz refresh rate. It is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The large screen size is designed for video streaming, reading, and casual gaming, while maintaining durability for everyday use.

In terms of design, the Moto G17 measures 165.67 x 75.98 x 8.17mm and weighs 189.9g. It carries an IP64 rating for dust resistance and protection against water splashes. Color options include Pantone Bordeaux, Pantone Alaskan Blue, and Pantone Evening Blue.

Cameras

Camera hardware is a major highlight. On the rear, the Moto G17 features a 50MP Sony LYTIA 600 main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, 0.8µm pixel size, and 1.6µm effective pixels after pixel binning. This is paired with a 5MP ultra-wide camera with an f/1.88 aperture and 0.8µm pixels. A third rear sensor handles ambient light detection and flicker reduction. Camera software includes HDR, Night Vision, Pro Mode, Panorama, Portrait, Live Filter, Watermark, Timer, and Google Lens integration. Video features include standard video recording, time-lapse, and slow motion.

On the front, the phone uses a 32MP selfie camera with an f/2.2 aperture and 0.7µm pixel size. The front camera supports HDR, full HD video recording at 30fps, face retouching, leveling tools, and assistive grid options.

Battery, Connectivity & Security

Battery capacity differs between the two models. The Moto G17 includes a 5200mAh battery, while the Moto G17 Power uses a larger battery. Both support 18W TurboPower charging through a USB Type-C port. The G17 Power, on the other hand, has a larger 6,000mAh battery, paired with 30W TurboPower charging.

Audio features include stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support and a built-in microphone. The phone also retains a 3.5mm headphone jack. Connectivity options include Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 802.11 a, b, g, n, and ac with support for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, NFC, FM radio, and USB Type-C.

Security features include a fingerprint reader, face unlock, Moto Secure, and ThinkShield protection. Software extras include Hello UX, Moto gestures, and Google Gemini voice control. Location services support GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and QZSS. SIM options include dual nano SIM or single SIM with microSD.

Availability

The Moto G17 Power and Moto G17 are launching in select EMEA markets. The Moto G17 is priced starting at £149.99 in the UK for the 4GB/128GB variant, while the 8GB/128GB model costs €199.99 in Germany. Motorola has yet to reveal the pricing for the Moto G17 Power.

Motorola is refreshing its midrange lineup in the UK and other global markets with two new models, Moto G77 and Moto G67. Both are big-screen phones with large batteries and durability features. The main difference comes down to performance, cameras, and how much you want to spend.

Moto G77 Specifications

The Moto G77 is positioned as the more premium option of the two. Motorola is clearly leaning on display quality and camera upgrades here.

The phone features a large 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. The screen is also plenty bright for outdoors with 5000 nits of peak brightness. 

On the camera side, the Moto G77 gets a 108-megapixel main sensor, which supports 3x lossless zoom. The main camera is paired with an 8-megapixel ultrawide, while selfies are handled by a 32-megapixel front-facing camera.

Inside, it runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chip, with options for 8GB or 12GB of RAM and storage going up to 512GB. Keeping the lights on is a 5,200mAh battery that supports 30W charging. Audio is handled by stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos.

Rounding out the specs are IP64 rating for dust and water resistance, MIL-STD-810H certification, and Gorilla Glass 7i on the front. 

The phone launches in Pantone shades called Shaded Spruce and Black Olive, priced at £250 in the UK.

Moto G67 Specifications

The Moto G67 is a more budget-friendly take on the Moto G77. 

It keeps several features intact, like the 6.78-inch AMOLED display with the Gorilla Glass 7i protection and 120Hz refresh rate. The battery size, charging speed, and MIL-STD toughness rating are also the same as the G77. Where it cuts back is performance and cameras. 

The processor drops to a MediaTek Dimensity 6300, paired with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM. The main camera is a 50-megapixel Sony Lytia 600 sensor paired with an 8MP ultrawide, and the water resistance rating is slightly lower at IP63. That said, the battery and charging specs are the same as the G77. 

Those compromises help bring the price down to £200. The Moto G67 will be available in Pantone colors named Arctic Seal and Nile.

The post Motorola launches Moto G77 and G67: Here’s how they are different appeared first on Gizmochina.

Motorola has really improved its software rollout pace, delivering faster updates this time, and hopefully, it will only keep getting better. The latest Android 16 update is already available to over a dozen of its devices, and is now expanding to four more Motorola smartphones via the beta program.

The company has just updated the MFN Beta Testing page, showing that the Android 16 beta program is now open for four more devices: Edge 2024, Edge 40 Pro, Edge+ 2023, and Moto G35 5G. The beta program is available in select regions as mentioned in the following list:

• Motorola Edge 2024 – US
• Motorola Edge 40 Pro – EMEA, LATAM
• Motorola Edge+ 2023 – US
• Moto G35 5G – India, EMEA

To get the Android 16 beta update, you need to submit an application to participate in the beta program. Once your application is approved, the Android 16 beta will be delivered to your Motorola phone via an OTA update.

Here’s how to participate in Motorola’s Android 16 beta program

1. Create an account on Motorola’s community website (if you haven’t already).
2. Visit the profile page and update your IMEI or serial number (SN) details.
3. Opt in for MFN on your Motorola community profile.
4. Always ensure that your phone is running the latest software.
5. Go to the MFN Beta Testing Opportunities page to see a testing opportunity for your Motorola device.
6. Tap on the registration link for your Motorola phone.
7. Fill in the required details and submit your application.

Once Motorola approves your beta application, the Android 16 beta will reach your device in a few days. You can check for available updates by navigating to Settings > System > Check for updates.

Here are the major upgrades in Motorola’s Android 16 update

Regarding the changes, there aren’t many, to be honest. This update may not feel like a major one, but there are a few quality-of-life improvements to look forward to. The new software reduces frustration when an app sends too many notifications in a short time by limiting the volume of successive notifications, thanks to the Notification cooldown feature.

Motorola users can now connect to the hotspot of another device without entering the password, provided the devices are logged into the same Google account. The Settings app has also received notable upgrades, now featuring Do Not Disturb, Bedtime, and Driving modes in the Modes section. Further, you can also create custom modes tailored to your specific needs.

The Android 16 update also introduces numerous enhancements to hearing aids for improved usability. Additionally, the latest software features enhanced security, performance upgrades, and better compatibility with newer apps.

A new Vivo value flagship just made its debut in India. The Vivo X200T just debuted as the rebranded global version of the Vivo X200s, which was first announced in China last year. Packing cutting edge specs and features, this model aims on competing in the highly competitive sub-flagship category. But we recently saw another great entry in this segment with the Motorola Signature. Both start at around Rs 59,999, bringing powerful chipsets, versatile cameras, and long software support, so here’s a side-by-side look at how these stack up across key areas to help you decide which one deserves a place in your pocket.

Design: Motorola shines here

At first glance, both phones deliver a premium aesthetic, but the execution is distinct in the two flagship killers. The Motorola Signature leans into a sleek, ultra-thin silhouette at just about 6.99mm thickness and approximately 186g weight, giving it a very refined in-hand feel. Its aircraft-grade aluminium frame, paired with a textile-inspired finish, elevates the experience. Despite the slim new design, Motorola still offers military grade durability and an IP68 + IP69 rating for water and dust resistance.

On the other hand, the Vivo X200T has a more typical premium form factor. It measures 7.9mm thick and weighs slightly over 200 grams. While it isn’t as thin and light, the Vivo X200T gets a glass rear panel and aluminum middle frame. The flat back and side should appeal more to users who are looking for something more familiar. It also offers a robust IP68 + IP69 rating for water and dust resistance.

Bigger and brighter Signature

Both Motorola and Vivo offer a similar 1.5K AMOLED display, although the Signature has a few advantages. The taller 6.8-inch panel brings LTPO support for better battery efficiency since it lowers to just 1Hz, a higher 165Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness that hits 6,200 nits (over X200T’s 5000 nits screen). In comparison, the Vivo X200T brings a 6.67-inch display. The Motorola Signature has another edge with security since it offers an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, over the optical sensor on the X200T.

Motorola takes on Vivo & Zeiss

The rear camera setup on the Vivo X200T and Motorola Signature is surprisingly similar. The periscope telephoto shooter with 3x zoom and the ultra wide angle lens are basically identical. Both get the Sony LYT600 (1/1.95-inch sensor) for zoom photography, while the ultra wide angle lens is likely the Samsung JN1. Where the main difference lies with the main camera and the tuning. Motorola opts for a flagship grade Sony LYT828 sensor, which is the same camera that is found on much more expensive devices like the Oppo Find X9 Pro and Vivo X300 Pro.

This device also gets Pantone tuning for improved color accuracy, especially with skin tones. Meanwhile, the Vivo X200T has a smaller 1/1.56-inch Sony IMX921 sensor that is found on budget flagship models. So despite Zeiss’ expertise, Motorola has advantages in low light photography, even managing to hit the 7th spot in DxOMark’s smartphone camera rankings. The Signature with a 50MP selfie shooter offers better details as well thanks to autofocus support, which is lacking on the X200T’s 32MP front facing camera.

Battery & Charging: Vivo Swings Back

A clear advantage for the Vivo X200T is battery capacity. It has a massive 6,200mAh cell that offers 90W wired and 40W wireless fast charging that promises impressive. While the fast charging is matched by the Motorola Signature with 90W wired and 50W wireless charging support. It has a much smaller 5,200mAh battery pack, since it has a slimmer body. You even get 10W wireless reverse charging support here.

Performance & Software

Under the hood, the Motorola Signature is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, one of the fastest mobile chipsets of 2026, that ensures great performance in games, multitasking, and creative workflows. On the other hand, the Vivo X200T counters with MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400+, which offers similar performance levels.

However, Motorola takes the lead with a much longer 7 years of OS updates with a light Hello UI skin. Vivo’s OriginOS 6 is a lot heavier and customizable, but you only get five years of Android updates. So the Signature has better software longevity.

Verdict

Both the Vivo X200T and Motorola Signature bring flagship energy to a very competitive price segment in 2026, and they trade blows in performance, display quality, imaging, and battery life. The X200T shines in battery endurance, balanced performance, and Zeiss-tuned imaging, making it an excellent choice for users who value longevity and strong everyday photography. The Motorola Signature, on the other hand, stands out with its premium design, larger and smoother display, superior camera hardware, and cleaner software longevity promise. This positions it as the more complete flagship package.
