Motorola Expands Android 17 Beta to Razr and Edge Devices with Major Upgrades
Motorola rolls out Android 17 beta to premium Razr and Edge smartphones, bringing faster performance, improved camera features, better battery optimization, enhanced privacy controls, and a refreshed user interface experience.
Motorola has widened access to its Android 17 beta program, bringing the latest software experience to more premium smartphones across its lineup. The move signals the company’s aggressive push to stay ahead in software updates, especially as the rollout of Android 16 is still ongoing in many regions.
Among the devices now eligible for the beta program are Motorola Razr 60 Ultra and Motorola Edge 60 Pro, along with other high end models in the Razr series. Users owning these smartphones can now register and get early access to upcoming Android features before the official stable release.
Motorola had initially introduced the beta program for a limited number of devices, but the expansion now includes more flagship and premium models. The brand has also stood out by launching the Android 17 beta shortly after the first beta release from Google, positioning itself among the fastest to adopt the new platform.
The latest update is expected to bring noticeable improvements in everyday usage. Performance enhancements are designed to make apps open faster and run more smoothly, reducing lag during multitasking. The update also introduces upgraded AI capabilities that can assist with photo editing, smart suggestions, and routine tasks, making the overall experience more intuitive.
Battery life is another area set to improve, with better optimization helping devices last longer on a single charge. At the same time, security and privacy controls have been strengthened, allowing users to manage app permissions and personal data with greater precision. These changes aim to give users more confidence while using their devices daily.
Motorola is also refining the visual experience with subtle user interface updates and new customization options. These changes are expected to make the phones feel more modern and personalized, without complicating the interface.
The beta program is currently open to users in multiple regions, including India, the United States, Brazil, Latin America, and parts of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. With this rollout, Motorola users now have an opportunity to explore the next generation of Android features ahead of the wider public release.
