Android 16 Is Rolling Out to These Motorola Phones Soon: Eligible Models and How to Join the Beta

Motorola may not have the best reputation for fast Android updates, but things are changing with Android 16. The brand has quietly stepped up its software game this year, becoming one of the early Android OEMs to roll out the latest version of Android across a wide range of devices.

Android 16 is already available in stable form on several Motorola smartphones, while many others are currently testing the update through the official beta program. If you're wondering whether your device is eligible-or how you can get early access-here's everything you need to know.

Motorola Phones That Have Received the Stable Android 16 Update

Motorola has started pushing the stable Android 16 update to more than a dozen smartphones across its Edge, Razr, and Moto G lineups. Keep in mind that updates are released in batches, so availability may vary by region and carrier.

Motorola Edge Series

• Motorola Edge 60 Pro
• Motorola Edge 60 Fusion
• Motorola Edge 60 Stylus
• Motorola Edge 50 Pro
• Motorola Edge 50 Ultra
• Motorola Edge Fusion
• Motorola Edge (2025)

Motorola Razr Series

• Motorola Razr 60
• Motorola Razr 60 Ultra
• Motorola Razr 50
• Motorola Razr 50 Ultra

Motorola Moto G Series

• Moto G86 5G

• Moto G75 5G
• Moto G67 Power 5G
• Moto G Stylus (2025)

If your phone is on this list but hasn't received the update yet, don't panic. OTA rollouts usually take time and can stretch across several weeks before reaching all users.

How to Sign Up for the Android 16 Beta Program

Apply for Android 16 beta access by following these steps:

1. Create an account on Motorola's community website (if you don't already have one).
2. Visit your profile page and add your phone's IMEI or serial number.
3. Opt in for the MFN (Motorola Feedback Network) program.
4. Make sure your phone is running the latest available software version.
5. Head to the MFN Beta Testing Opportunities page.
6. Select your device and tap the registration link.
7. Fill in the required details and submit your application.

Motorola may contact you via email regarding your beta request, so keep an eye on your inbox, and don't forget to check your spam folder.

Once approved, the Android 16 beta update should arrive on your phone within a few days. You can manually check by going to Settings > System > Check for updates.

What to Expect Next

Motorola doesn't publish an official Android update timeline, which means exact rollout dates remain unclear. However, based on past releases, the beta program usually runs for a few weeks before the stable build is rolled out more widely via OTA.

With Android 16 already rolling out to multiple phones and an expanded beta program in place, Motorola's software update strategy is clearly improving. If you own a supported device, you can either wait for the stable OTA update or sign up for the beta to experience Android 16 early, just be prepared for the occasional bug that comes with pre-release software.
