Late to the Update Party
Motorola's rollout of the Android 16 upgrade has faced some delays, particularly for older devices. The initial launch was for models like the Edge 60 Pro and Edge 50 Pro back in October, followed by the Razr 50 and Edge 2025 models over time.

Despite the late entry into the Android 16 rollout, it's a reminder that updates are scheduled in stages, often prioritizing newer, high-end devices before expanding to older and budget-friendly models. In contrast, iOS typically offers simultaneous updates across all supported devices.
