Motorola has been rolling out Android 16 for quite some time now. The update has already reached over a dozen smartphones, including many Edge models and Moto G-series phones. Unfortunately, some premium Razr phones are still awaiting their turn. Among them was the Razr 2025, which is finally receiving the Android 16 update.
The Razr 2025 is sold as Razr 60 in some markets, including India. The Android 16 update for this foldable phone has the firmware version W1UC36H.96-24-4. While Motorola has yet to announce the rollout for Razr 2025, some users in India are receiving it already, as shared by them on Reddit. The update will soon expand to North America and the remaining regions.
As you can see in the screenshot, the update package has a hefty download size of 2.26GB. It’s best to use Wi-Fi to download such large packages. If you haven’t received a notification about the update, check for it manually by navigating to Settings > System updates > Check for updates. Please note that the rollout happens in phases, so it may take a few days to a few weeks to reach all users.
To ensure a smooth upgrade to Android 16, ensure that your Motorola smartphone has sufficient storage and it’s charged to at least 50% before installing the update. You can also back up important data for added safety.
Here’s the complete changelog for Motorola Razr 2025:
Feature improvements
After upgrading, you’ll see the following improvements to the Android operating system and other apps.
Find modes in one place
Now you can find these modes in Settings > Modes:
Do Not Disturb
Bedtime
Driving
You can also create custom modes to fit any situation where you want to choose a different set of people or apps who can interrupt you.
Toggle these modes on or off in quick settings.
Connect to Wi-fi and hotspot with one tap
If your phone and device you want to connect to its hotspot are using the same Google account, you no longer need to enter a password to connect.
Better support for low-energy audio hearing aids
You can now choose to use either your hearing aid’s built-in microphone or your phone’s microphone during voice calls. Additionally, you can adjust the volume of ambient sound captured by the hearing aid’s microphones. These options help enhance call clarity, especially in noisy environments or when your hearing aid’s battery is running low.
Other improvements
Android system updates add more than new features. Using the latest Android update provides other improvements such as:
– Enhanced security and protection to defend against evolving threats like malware, phishing, and data breaches
– App compatibility with newer apps, which often require the latest Android version to function correctly
– Performance improvements that optimize your phone’s operating system for smoother performance, better stability, and, in some cases, longer battery life
– Bug fixes and stability enhancements to resolve known issues and improve overall reliability and stability
