Motorola Android 15 Update: Supported Devices, Release Date, and More

Android 15 launched on October 15, 2024. Following this release, Motorola has quietly revealed its updated roadmap for eligible devices based on Motorola’s support pages.

Motorola has already begun rolling out the Android 15 beta to select phones, with the Edge 50 Fusion leading the charge. This is quite a fast turnaround for Moto, which has usually lagged behind other manufacturers in delivering timely updates. In fact, even Samsung, known for its relatively quick updates, hasn’t yet started beta testing One UI 7.0.

Several Moto phones, which you can check in our list, won’t receive the Android 15 update.

Motorola’s update policy has been a bit inconsistent in the past. Their budget-friendly G series phones typically received only one or two major Android updates and two to three years of security updates, lagging behind competitors like Samsung and Google.

However, Motorola is now stepping up its game. With the release of newer phones, like the Edge 50 Neo, the company is committing to a much more generous five years of major OS updates and five years of security updates.

Android 15 for Motorola: Features

For starters, Motorola has its own custom Android skin called MyUX. While it resembles vanilla Android, it comes with additional customization options and features that enhance the user experience. With the Android 15 update, MyUX gets even better with new additions like Private Space.

This feature allows you to hide sensitive apps and their data, locking them behind a password or biometric authentication. Think of it as a secure vault within your phone, similar to Samsung’s Secure Folder, offering a separate space for personal files.

Android 15 also introduces App Archiving, enabling you to offload apps while retaining their data and settings. This means you can easily reinstall the app later without losing any progress. You can manually archive apps or allow your phone to intelligently prompt you to do so when it needs more storage.

The Android 15 beta released for the Moto Edge 50 Fusion in India is 1.89GB in size. It brings two new system fonts, new lock screen customization options (including clock faces and shortcuts), and smoother graphics.

Additionally, it comes with the October 2024 security patch, which is the latest at the time of the update’s rollout.

Android 15 for Motorola: Release Date

The MyUX update based on Android 15 has already started rolling out for the Moto Edge 50-series phones, with other devices from the Motorola Razr and ThinkPhone series expected to follow suit soon.

Unfortunately, if you own a Moto G series budget phone, you’ll have to wait longer. It could take anywhere from two months to half a year before the latest Android update reaches your device. As for the stable build, it will arrive later.

For the phones receiving the beta now, you can expect the Android 15 stable update by the end of this year, given how quickly Motorola has been moving lately. Stay tuned for more updates.
