List of Motorola devices eligible for three major Android OS updates

Motorola three Android OS updates devices list

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.

Related: List of Motorola devices that promise five Android OS updates

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.

Vivo X200T: What to expect from Vivo’s new budget flagship

While the Vivo X300 series recently made its global debut, the brand is now gearing up to unveil a new smartphone from its older X200 lineup. Fresh teasers have revealed that the Vivo X200T model is in the works, but finer details are still at large. However, leaks and rumors have revealed a bunch of key details of this device, which could be Vivo’s latest budget flagship. So here’s what you can expect from the Vivo X200T.

1. Design and Display

Vivo X200s
Vivo X200s

From official teasers, the Vivo X200T adopts a familiar yet refined look reminiscent of the X200 FE series, featuring a circular triple-camera module with Zeiss branding on the rear. So we can expect a strong focus on photography. The teaser images confirm at least one new purple colorway. Since it is a premium model, Vivo likely offers an IP rating for water and dust resistance (possibly IP68 + IP69), a glass back, and a metallic frame.

On the front, the Vivo X200T is expected to sport a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution (around 2800 x 1260 pixels) and a 120Hz refresh rate. Another notable inclusion is an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner for fast and secure unlocking.

2. Performance

Under the hood, the Vivo X200T is rumoured to be equipped with MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400+ chipset. This is a powerful flagship level SoC, which powered older flagship smartphones from last year. From gaming to everyday use, the chip is expected to offer very capable daily performance. Notably, this is also a step up from the Dimensity 9300+ that was featured on the Vivo X200 FE model.

Recent leaks have also hinted at this chip being coupled with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage. Battery life is another highlight, as the Vivo X200T is reportedly housing a huge 6,200mAh battery pack that should deliver excellent endurance. In real life use, this device should last for more than a day. For charging, the upcoming budget flagship brings 90W wired fast charging and 40W wireless fast charging.

Keeping these beefy specs cool is an acoustic vapor chamber or the brand’s nanofluid cooling tech. Out of the box, the Vivo X200T will debut with the Android 16 OS based OriginOS 6 custom skin with 5 years of major Android updates and 7 years of security patches.

3. Photograhy

Vivo-X200T-Teaser

Photography is a major focus for Vivo’s X-series, and the X200T looks to continue that trend. Rumors suggest a Zeiss tuned triple camera setup, so here’s the expected hardware:

  • 50MP Sony LYT702 main camera (OIS, 1/1.56″)
  • 50MP Samsung JN1 ultra-wide sensor (1/2.76″)
  • 50MP Sony LYT600 periscope telephoto shooter (1/1.95″, OIS)

For selfies and video calls, the front could feature a 32MP shooter. The telephoto sensor should offer at least 3x optical zoom, which is common for this Sony sensor.

4. Availability and Pricing

Multiple reports have suggested that the Vivo X200T is launching in India soon, possibly by the end of this month. Teasers have already gone live with certification listings, further solidifying their imminent arrival. Pricing is rumored to be around Rs 50,000–Rs 55,000, which positions it as a strong contender in the budget flagship category.

Xiaomi 17 Pro and Pro Max each cross one million activations

Xiaomi’s latest flagship phones are doing really well in China. According to well-known Chinese tech blogger Digital Chat Station, only three flagship phones released toward the end of the year have crossed one million activations so far. These models are the Xiaomi 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, and Huawei Mate 80.

Among these, the Xiaomi 17 Pro series stands out because both models — the Pro and the Pro Max — have individually surpassed one million activations. That makes the 17 Pro lineup the biggest winner among China’s year-end flagship launches.

Xiaomi Group partner and president Lu Weibing shared the milestone on social media, thanking users for their support. He also used the moment to underline just how important this launch is for the company, calling the Xiaomi 17 series the best-selling product line in Xiaomi’s history.

A big reason for that attention is Xiaomi’s most distinctive design choice this year. Both the 17 Pro and Pro Max have a rear screen. Unlike the small notification panels seen on earlier experimental devices, Xiaomi’s rear screen is a functional second display.

It can show a clock, AI-generated avatars, or virtual pet images, while also letting users interact with notifications and reminders. Users can even pin important notes or tasks to the back screen with a single tap.

The rear display also supports live previews for selfies taken with the main rear camera. When someone else is taking the photo, users can see the framing in real time on the back screen.

Crucially, Xiaomi hasn’t treated the rear screen as a one-off gimmick. Over the past few months, the company has rolled out frequent updates, adding features like dialogue translation, photo booth mode, dynamic photo and video wallpapers, and even the ability to take screenshots from the back screen while using a case.

Just last week, Xiaomi expanded its usefulness further with stock-quote tracking and a video teleprompter mode.

Honor Magic 8 Pro Ranked Among World’s Best Cameras by DxOMark, Beats Pixel 10 Pro XL

Honor‘s latest flagship smartphone has impressed independent camera reviewer, DxOMark, by securing a top 5 rank in its global smartphone camera rankings. After rigorous testing, the Honor Magic 8 Pro has managed to displace the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, showcasing Honor’s strength in balanced photo performance. So here’s how it performed.

Honor Magic 8 Pro Climbs Into DxOMark’s Top 5 Best Smartphone Cameras

Earning an overall score of 165 points, the Magic 8 Pro demonstrated consistent imaging quality across a range of shooting conditions. DxOMark praised its good exposure handling, wide dynamic range, and high detail retention in still photos, especially in bright lighting scenarios where the phone showed strong performance. Testers also noted neutral white balance and pleasing skin tones that helped deliver natural-looking images in many conditions.

HONOR Magic 8 Pro

Although Magic 8 Pro doesn’t top every individual category, its strength lies in being a well-rounded shooter rather than dominating one specific metric. This balanced approach propelled it into the top tier of the DxOMark ranking, which in 2025 includes other flagship contenders such as the Vivo X200 Ultra, Oppo Find X8 Ultra, Huawei Pura 80 Ultra, and Apple iPhone 17 Pro.

While the Magic 8 Pro excelled in still photography, video performance was identified as a relative weakness during the DxOMark evaluation. It achieved a score of 154 points that had it rank 15th in DxOMark’s videography rankings. DxoMark suggests room for improvement in video noise control and color consistency, especially in lower-light. With this overall score, the Magic 8 Pro is just behind the Vivo X300 Pro, which ranked 2nd in this list.

Realme held a separate event to just talk about the Neo 8 display

Realme is getting ready to launch the Neo 8 later this month. However, the company today held a special event in China to talk about one of its biggest highlights: the display. 

The Realme Neo 8 is the first phone in the world to use a 165Hz Samsung “Sky Display.” The panel is built using Samsung’s flagship M14 luminescent material, which Realme says improves luminous efficiency by 26 percent compared to previous generations. 

The panel can reach 1,000 nits in manual peak brightness and is rated 1800 nits for global peak brightness. Moreover, the typical brightness reaches 3,800 nits, while local peak brightness can climb as high as 6,500 nits. This wide range is designed to keep the screen readable outdoors while still delivering strong HDR performance indoors.

Realme also claims the Neo 8 exceeds typical flagship standards across four core display metrics, including color gamut at normal brightness, color performance at 25 percent APL, brightness uniformity, and gamma accuracy. 

Efficiency and gaming

The screen itself is a 6.78-inch flat Samsung panel with a 1.5K resolution. It’s an LTPO panel, which means the screen refresh rate can scale anywhere from 1Hz up to 165Hz depending on what’s happening on screen.

And thanks to the efficiency of the M14 material, Realme says this 165Hz panel actually consumes 16 percent less power than many 144Hz displays on the market. The panel lifespan has also improved by 50% and the company claims it has also passed TUV Rheinland’s 1500-hour long-life validation tests. 

As for the gaming, Realme says the Neo 8 will support more than 30 mobile games running at 165fps. The title includes Call of Duty Mobile, League of Legends Mobile, and Game for Peace.

Rounding things out, the phone also includes an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, crystal armor glass, and large rounded corners.

Lenovo launches Legion Go 2 SteamOS powered handheld & Legion Pro Rollable gaming laptop

Lenovo has officially unveiled new Legion branded gaming products at the CES 2026 event. The new Legion Go 2 is its latest handheld gaming console that is powered by the SteamOS, while the Legion Pro Rollable is a bold concept gaming laptop with a horizontally expandable OLED display that redefines how screen size adapts for gaming and productivity. So let’s check them out.

1. Lenovo Legion Go 2 Powered by SteamOS

The new Legion Go 2 brings Lenovo’s flagship handheld into the SteamOS ecosystem, offering gamers a console-like experience on the go with deep access to their Steam library and platform features. Powered by AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor, this 8.8-inch portable delivers desktop-class capability in a handheld form. This chip is coupled with up to 32GB LPDDR5X RAM and 2TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage, which can be expanded further via microSD.

Its 8.8-inch PureSight OLED display features a WUXGA (1920×1200) resolution with 144 Hz refresh and rich HDR support, designed to make games and media look vibrant while maintaining smooth responsiveness. The SteamOS build lets players launch titles directly, manage cloud saves, use Steam Chat, and enjoy onboard game recording from a portable gaming rig.

Legion Go 2’s hardware also includes dual USB-C ports with Power Delivery and DisplayPort support, a 3.5 mm combo jack, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and an ergonomic set of built-in controllers complete with true gaming buttons and sticks. These controllers are also removable, allowing you to get a more versatile gaming experience. Under the hood, a sizeable 74Wh battery pack powers the SteamOS variant of Legion Go 2, promising endurance for lengthy play sessions away from a desk. The new gaming handheld console is set to begin sales around June 2026, with pricing likely starting near $1,199 USD.

2. Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable Concept

The Legion Pro Rollable is a concept gaming laptop that imagines what immersive play could look like in a portable form factor. Starting with a conventional 16-inch Lenovo PureSight OLED panel, the screen can expand horizontally for a wider 21.5 inches in Tactical mode and the full 24 inches in Arena mode. This helps offer a more immersive gaming experience and also gives more screen real estate for productivity as well.

The horizontal rollable mechanism is driven by a dual-motor, tension-based design intended to minimize screen vibration and creasing. Lenovo based this concept rollable gaming laptop on its flagship Legion Pro 7i. So you get the latest Intel Core Ultra processors and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 mobile GPU. In other words, there’s enough horsepower for AAA gaming on a laptop with a wide display, which doesn’t compromise in portability either.

The Rollable also introduces advanced AI-driven gaming enhancements, such as adaptive lighting, resource optimization, and AI-based display features, which are integrated through Lenovo’s AI Engine+. This system is powered by the Lenovo LA Core that include tools like AI Frame Gaming Display features like AI Scam Detection, Cursor Tracking, AI Gaming Assistance, and Adaptive AI Lighting.

Though the Legion Pro Rollable remains a concept without confirmed release timing or pricing, it signals Lenovo’s intent to explore non-traditional form factors that let players and creators expand their digital workspace without needing multiple displays. We could be seeing the Chinese tech giant potentially kick start a new breed of portable gaming PCs.

Red Magic 11 Air launch date, 9 cutting-edge gaming features officially revealed

Nubia has officially confirmed the launch date of its upcoming gaming smartphone, the Red Magic 11 Air. The device will be unveiled in China on January 20 at 3pm local time. Alongside the date confirmation, the brand has shared teasers highlighting changes to the phone’s design and positioning, signalling that this model aims to stand apart from typical “Air” smartphones.

Red Magic 11 Air brings nine cutting-edge gaming features

According to Nubia, the Red Magic 11 Air is positioned as a full-fledged performance flagship and features a true full-screen design with no notch or punch-hole, enabled by a 16-megapixel under-display front camera. The phone also adopts a fully transparent design across the lineup and includes dedicated gaming shoulder triggers.

A key highlight is its active cooling system, which combines a high-speed internal fan with an ultra-thick 4D Ice-Step vapour chamber to improve thermal efficiency. The device also integrates Red Magic’s Cube gaming engine, a self-developed Red Core R4 esports chip, and a built-in PC emulator.

Powering the phone is what the brand claims to be the largest battery ever used in an Air-series device, all housed within a slim 7.85mm chassis. Red Magic says the phone is aimed at users seeking strong gaming performance, refined aesthetics, and effective heat management in a slim form factor.

Red Magic 11 Air specifications (expected)

Back in November 2025, the Red Magic 11 Air was spotted on China’s TENAA certification database with the model number NX799J. The listing revealed that the phone will feature a 6.85-inch OLED display with a resolution of 1216 x 2688 pixels and support for a 120Hz refresh rate. It also confirmed a rated 6,780mAh battery, which translates to an advertised capacity of around 7,000mAh.

While these monikers are not official yet, they appear to align with Samsung’s usual naming convention. In a new development, the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Ultra have surfaced on the Geekbench database, revealing details related to their chipset, RAM, and operating system.

Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy S26 Geekbench listings

The unlocked US variants of the Galaxy S26 Ultra (SM-S948U) and Galaxy S26 (SM-S942U) have been spotted on Geekbench. Both listings confirm that the devices have 12GB of RAM and Android 16, which is likely to have Samsung’s One UI 8.5 skin on top.

Although the chipset name is not explicitly mentioned in the listings, the CPU and GPU metadata indicate that both phones are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy. The SoC includes two cores working at 4.19GHz, six cores operating at 3.55GHz, and Adreno 840 GPU.

It appears that the chipset that powers the S26 series is slightly underclocked compared to the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which includes two cores working at up to 4.6GHz, six cores operating at up to 3.62GHz, and Adreno 840 GPU.

Performance-wise, the Galaxy S26 Ultra scored 3,466 points in the single-core test and 11,035 points in the multi-core test on Geekbench 6.5. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S26 recorded a single-core score of 3,378 and a multi-core score of 11,097, suggesting very similar performance between the two models.

The Geekbench listings suggest that the company could be internal testing the S26 series’ performance weeks before official announcement. As per recent reports, Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S26 series on February 26. The lineup is said to go on sale globally in March, following the company’s usual flagship release timeline.

Previously, the S26 series was said to include the S26 Edge, but it has been reportedly cancelled due to weak demand for ultra-thin phones. If you are wondering what happened to the Galaxy S26 Pro, which appeared in early leaks, a report dating back to October revealed that this device does not exist.

Qualcomm’s struggle against Apple Silicon continues, as Snapdragon X2 Plus fails to beat the older Apple M4 in key CPU and GPU benchmarks

Snapdragon X2 Plus

The Snapdragon X2 Plus, announced at CES 2026, joins the X2 family of SoCs, which already has two more powerful members: the Snapdragon X2 Elite and Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme, which were announced at last year’s Snapdragon Summit. The newer X2 Plus chip will power more affordable Windows notebooks and take on Apple Silicon. But it turns out, Qualcomm’s met with another defeat here, as the X2 Plus lags far behind Apple M4 in key CPU and GPU benchmarks.

On paper, the Snapdragon X2 Plus looks rather impressive. It’s got higher cache memory, bandwidth, and a much higher on-chip TOPS than Apple M4, but it’s the overall package that matters, where Apple Silicon maintains a strong lead.

A series of synthetic benchmark tests run by PCMAG reveals that Apple’s previous-generation silicon can comfortably outperform the latest rivals from Qualcomm. The chips were tested across key benchmarks, including Geekbench 6, 3DMark Steel Nomad Light, 3DMark Solar Bay, and Cinebench 2024, with most of them showing a higher score for the Apple M4, by up to 30%.

Benchmark scores

Geekbench 6

Snapdragon X2 PlusApple M4
Single core3,3113,859 (16.55% faster)
Multi core14,94015,093 (1.02% faster)

Cinebench 2024

Snapdragon X2 PlusApple M4
Single core133173 (30.08% faster)
Multi core1,011993 (1.81% slower)

3DMark

Snapdragon X2 PlusApple M4
Steel Nomad Light3,0673,949 (28.76% faster)
Solay Bay12,52515,580 (24.39% faster)

While the Snapdragon X2 Plus is a strong upgrade over the original Snapdragon X Plus, it still can’t beat 2024’s Apple M4 Silicon, which only means a far worse result when compared to Apple M5. However, on the plus side, the Qualcomm X2 series SoCs show rather impressive numbers against the powerful chips from Intel and AMD.

Note that synthetic benchmarks, although useful, don’t show the complete picture. I would rather wait for more benchmarks or real-world comparisons to reach a conclusion. Unfortunately, the wait appears to be a little longer, as Snapdragon X2 Plus-powered Windows notebooks are expected to hit the market in the second quarter.

Redmi Turbo 5 Pro Max Geekbench run confirms it’s running an unannounced MediaTek chip

Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi is gearing up to launch the Turbo 5 Max series later this month. Ahead of the official announcement, an upcoming Redmi phone has appeared on Geekbench with a yet-to-be-announced MediaTek chipset.

Listed under the model number 2602BRT18C, the device is likely a part of the upcoming Turbo series. And rumors suggest that it could be called the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro Max. 

The device scores 2,656 points in the single-core test and 8,377 points in the multi-core run. The more interesting detail, however, is the silicon powering it.

Redmi Turbo 5 Pro Max Geekbench

According to the benchmark listing, the chip features a 1+3+4 CPU configuration, with one prime core clocked at 3.73GHz, three high-performance cores running at 3.30GHz, and four efficiency cores capped at 2.40GHz. Graphics duties are handled by the Immortalis-G925 MC12 GPU.

This core layout closely matches what’s been rumored for MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9500s. MediaTek will announce the new SoC on January 15, and Redmi’s launch could follow shortly after.

Details about the Turbo 5 Pro Max itself are limited, but alleged renders of the phone have already made their way online. 

The smartphone has a dual-camera setup on the back. However, instead of the vertical alignment seen on the Turbo 4 and Turbo 4 Pro, the cameras now sit horizontally inside an oval-shaped camera module.

The rest of the design feels familiar. It has slim bezels on the front with a small centered hole-punch for the selfie camera, and the usual Redmi button placement. 

As with previous Turbo models, the phone will not stay exclusive to China. Internationally, the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro Max is expected to reappear under Poco branding, likely as part of the upcoming Poco X8 lineup.
