Motorola Expands Android 17 Beta to 14 Additional Smartphones

Motorola opened beta registration for Android 17 across 14 additional smartphones covering its Razr, Edge, and Moto G lineups. The software update brings a camera cutout alert feature called Live Updates alongside interface tweaks and the Qira AI assistant. Regional access varies by market, with enrollment open through the Motorola Feedback Network forum.

Motorola divided the testing program across 14 specific models. Foldable devices in the lineup include the Razr 50, Razr 60, and Razr 70, with registration currently restricted to Brazil. Standard models include the Edge 50 Fusion, Edge 50 Pro, and Edge 60 Stylus. The mid tier Moto G category covers the Moto G Stylus 2025, Moto G Stylus 2026, Moto G Max, Moto G37, Moto G47, Moto G67, Moto G77, and Moto G87. Owners in Europe, Asia, and Latin America can check device eligibility on the official Motorola community forum.

Users must create an account on the Motorola community website and link their phone IMEI to their profile. Access requires joining the Motorola Feedback Network program before submitting an application for the specific testing phase. Motorola caps the total number of participants, meaning registration does not guarantee an immediate software download.

The Android 17 update introduces Live Updates, an alert system that wraps notifications around the front camera cutout similar to the pill shaped interface on modern iPhone models. Designers reworked the main settings layout, status bar, volume slider, and system icons for battery, cellular signal, and Wi Fi. Lock screens gain extra clock fonts and visual layouts. Other additions include the Qira AI assistant, a Landscape Stereo mode for horizontal audio, enhanced HDR brightness tuning, and a dedicated battery health metrics panel. Motorola has not announced a final release date for the stable public rollout.
