Android 16 Beta For Motorola Expands To 8 More Devices: List Inside

Motorola ramps up its software game in 2026 by expanding the Android 16 beta program to eight additional devices. The company adds popular foldables, Edge series phones, a budget Moto G model, and the business-focused ThinkPhone 25. This move lets more users test Google’s latest OS ahead of the stable rollout. Tech fans with eligible Motorola phones in supported regions can now apply for early access through the official Motorola Feedback Network (MFN). Motorola announces the expansion via its community forum, giving owners a chance to experience new features and provide feedback.

So, here are the eight devices now open for the Android 16 beta program (availability varies by region):

• Motorola Razr 40 (India, Brazil, LATAM)
• Motorola Razr 40 Ultra (US, India, Brazil, LATAM)
• Motorola Razr 2023 (US)
