By Motorola has long been known for lagging behind in software updates, and while things haven’t drastically changed, there’s finally some hope. Quietly, Motorola has started revealing which of its phones will be getting the Android 15 update—and it’s a mix of excitement and disappointment.
Thanks to YTechB, who dug deep into Motorola’s US website, we now have a clearer picture. Although there’s no official list from Motorola, YTechB pieced together a solid one that covers a good portion of Motorola’s devices, including the Edge, Razr, and several Moto G models. Here’s the list of Motorola devices set to receive the Android 15 update:
Motorola Edge series:
- Motorola Edge
- Motorola Edge Plus 2023
- Motorola Edge 2024
- Motorola Edge 40 Pro
- Motorola Edge 50
- Motorola Edge 50 Fusion
- Motorola Edge 50 Neo
- Motorola Edge 50 Pro
- Motorola Edge 50 Ultra
Moto G series:
- Moto G Power 5G 2024
- Moto G 5G 2024
- Moto G Stylus 5G 2024
- Moto G34 5G
- Moto G35
- Moto G45
- Moto G55
- Moto G75
- Moto G85
Motorola Razr series:
- Motorola Razr 2023 (Razr 40)
- Motorola Razr Plus 2023 (Razr 40 Ultra)
- Motorola Razr 2024 (Razr 50)
- Motorola Razr Plus 2024 (Razr 50 Ultra)
ThinkPhone:
- ThinkPhone
- ThinkPhone 25
While the list covers a good chunk of Motorola’s recent models, it’s not without glaring omissions. For example, the entire Moto G 2023 lineup is missing, along with the Motorola Edge 2023 and any Moto G phones from 2022. Perhaps the most surprising absence is the Moto G Play 2024, a budget phone that came out in January with Android 13. Although it just received Android 14, there’s no certainty if it will be updated to Android 15.
Motorola deserves credit for recent efforts in improving software support. Their mid-range Edge 50 Neo, released just last month, promises five major OS updates and five years of security patches—a big step in the right direction. But their budget-friendly Moto G line still has a long way to go, historically only getting one major update.
It’s hard not to feel frustrated when you see competitors like Samsung offering six years of OS and security updates for their phones. For instance, the Galaxy A16 is set to receive four OS updates and five years of security patches, making it a more reliable choice for long-term use.
We can only hope that Motorola takes further steps to improve, because for loyal users, it’s heartbreaking to see them lag behind when competitors are pushing forward.
