Following the official release of Android 15 on October 15, there’s been much anticipation about which companies will be the first to update their phones to the newest Android version — and which phones will be included. Most recently, Motorola confirmed that a few additional devices will receive the Android 15 treatment.

Although Motorola hasn’t made any official announcements regarding its Android 15 plans, the company has been updating support pages for its devices and confirming Android 15 updates that way. As part of this latest round of updates, Motorola has now confirmed that Android 15 is coming to the following smartphones:

  • Motorola Razr 50s
  • Motorola Razr 40s
  • Motorola Edge (2023)
  • Motorola Edge 40
  • Motorola Edge 40 Neo
  • Motorola Edge 30 Ultra
  • Motorola ThinkPhone 25

Although only one of those phones is available in the U.S. (the Edge 2023), it’s still encouraging to see Motorola contining to expand its net of Android 15 updates. This past October, Android 15 updates were confirmed for a much more extensive selection of other Motorola phones — including the Razr (2024), Razr Plus (2024), Edge (2024), and others. Shortly after that initial list was discovered, Motorola started its update work by rolling out the Android 15 beta to the Edge 50 Fusion.

While more Motorola phones getting Android 15 is good news, this all comes with a lingering asterisk. Motorola has yet to say when it’ll officially release Android 15 to any of its smartphones. Further, Motorola is notorious for being one of the slowest companies to get Android updates released in a timely manner. So, while Android 15 for additional Moto phones is great, it could still be a while before you see the Android 15 update arrive on your handset.

Android’s background data habit is now written into Google Play’s fine print
The new terms clarify how Google Play services, the Play Store, and Android updates can connect in the background, even when users are not touching their phones.
Google Play Store

Android phones have always worked in the background. Google’s new Play terms make that quiet behavior much harder to ignore.

The updated Google Play Terms of Service take effect July 29, 2026, and spell out that system services on certified Android devices can use network connectivity, including cellular data, while the user isn’t actively using the phone. That includes moments when the screen is locked.

iOS 27 finally ended my accidental voice message nightmare
Your thumb can finally stop betraying you mid-conversation.
voice messages in Apple Messages

If you have ever fat-fingered the record audio button in Messages and sent an awkward, unintended voice note, you know the specific kind of panic that follows. I have done it more times than I'd like to admit, and if it weren't for the "Undo Send" feature, I would've been in some really embarrassing situations.

It usually happens when invoking the keyboard by tapping inside the text field as my fingers accidentally brush against that little recording icon. Or sometimes an accidental tap while I'm waiting for a reply ends up sending a voice recording without me even realizing it.
