Motorola has quietly started mapping out its path for the Android 16 update, and the lineup confirmed so far shows that Motorola is looking at broader OS coverage during this update cycle. Traditionally slower in rolling out updates than some of its competitors, the brand has gone against its trend and announced support for more devices earlier in the Android 16 update cycle.

With Android 16 scheduled for general release in June 2025, Motorola users now have a better idea of which phones are on track for the update. Here’s a detailed look at what’s included, when to expect it, and what the update brings to the table.

Android 16 delivers a range of practical upgrades that polish the overall experience without making drastic visual changes. Among the highlights are improved background task management, tighter app permissions, and smarter notification handling. For example, users will find streamlined updates for media apps and contextual summaries for calendar reminders. These are all small updates that collectively improve your user experience.

Motorola’s My UX skin has always been a fan favorite for users who enjoy the vanilla Android experience. With the Android 16 update, My UX continues with that tradition, adding just enough new features to feel fresh without interfering with the clean, stock Android vibe you love. This update brings smoother split-screen multitasking, tidier notification cards, and slicker lock screen widgets.

Notable omissions include some older Moto G models and previous ThinkPhones. But excellent coverage across premium and midrange categories means a good spread for Motorola users. If your device is not on this initial list, don’t be worried, as Motorola often announces more devices on its update schedule later in the cycle.

What’s the Timeline for the Motorola Android 16 Update?

Motorola tends to follow Google’s update cycle with the Pixels. Here’s a basic timeline based on Android 16’s official rollout:

  • June 2025: Google rolls out Android 16 to Pixel devices, setting the stage for OEM updates.
  • Q2 2025: Motorola will likely begin preview testing for flagship Edge and Razr phones.
  • Late 2025 into early 2026: Carriers and regional OS updates should reach midrange Moto G models, depending on certifications and testing.

As with the Android 16 update from most brands, Motorola’s update won’t bring heavy visual overhauls. Instead, it brings quality-of-life enhancements, better multitask handling, smarter alerts, and refined My UX behavior. Most Edge and Razr users should expect a rollout in late 2025, with G-series devices following into early 2026.

If your phone is on the confirmed list, keep an eye out for updates or beta programs. And if not, you’re still likely to get the stable release, just a little later. The brand’s renewed focus on timely updates is a good sign for Motorola users who’ve long wished for wider update cycles.
