The rollout of the stable Android 16 update for the Razr Ultra (2025) and Razr (2025) has commenced in the United States, specifically for users on T-Mobile and Verizon networks. This update arrives more than eight months after the initial public release of Android 16, during which Motorola faced criticism for lagging behind competitors in software updates.
Motorola initially published a list of devices eligible for the new Android version shortly after Google’s announcement, yet users have experienced delays. The firmware, which is nearly 4GB in size, oddly includes the December 2025 security patch despite being launched in late February 2026. Owners of unlocked devices may encounter an even longer wait for the update.
Reports from Razr users outside the US indicate that the update is experiencing significant bugs, particularly with the cover display not functioning correctly with various apps. Given Motorola's history with updates, it may take time to resolve these issues, prompting some users to consider delaying the installation of Android 16.
