Motorola has begun rolling out Android 16 for its Razr (2025) and Razr Ultra devices, indicating a positive shift in its update strategy. This update, observed by YTechB, is now available to users on various carriers, including Verizon, although it remains unclear if unlocked models have access yet.
Notably, this marks the third consecutive year that Motorola has delivered updates for its Razr phones earlier than in previous years. The rollout schedule, announced in June 2025, allows users to receive the new software as soon as January in specific regions. Motorola’s changelog highlights enhancements such as improved Bluetooth LE support and a refreshed design.
In contrast to past practices, where updates were delayed significantly, the latest release demonstrates a quicker turnaround, with Android 15 being released two months earlier for the Razr (2024) series. Despite this improvement, Motorola recently introduced a new model that does not come with any promises for future Android updates, raising questions about its commitment to software support.
Currently, the new Razr FIFA edition is available for $699, while the Moto G Power (2026) is priced at $299 and focuses more on specifications than on update longevity.
