Motorola is broadening its Android 17 beta program to encompass several additional older models. This latest update includes invitations for previous-generation flagships and foldable devices.
According to Android Authority, Motorola is granting Android 17 beta access to three additional devices: the Motorola Razr Plus 2025, Motorola Razr Plus 2024, and the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra. In certain regions, the Razr Plus 2024 and 2025 models are marketed as the Razr 50 Ultra and Razr 60 Ultra. These are all high-end devices, which are now finally receiving access to the latest beta release.
MotorolaExpanding Beta Access to More Devices
Motorola is no longer restricting the beta to a small initial group. The program is now being broadened to include two foldable phones and one flagship slab device. Initially, the company launched the Android 17 beta in February, making it available for the Moto Edge (2025), Moto G57, and Moto G57 Power.
This update comes shortly after Google began its rollout, and the company now appears more open to distributing access widely than in the past. For a brand that has not always been known for rapid Android updates, this change is significant. Although this is still beta software, Motorola seems more motivated than usual to demonstrate progress in this release cycle.
Beta Access Eligibility and Availability
Motorola Razr 2024 Andy Boxall / Digital TrendsMotorola is currently accepting applications from users in the US, India, Europe, Latin America, and Brazil. This wide geographic coverage makes the program feel less like a restricted regional preview and more like a substantial expansion for users eager to test the software early.
The application process follows a standard procedure. Users must register an account on Motorola’s official community site, add their device’s IMEI or serial number to their profile, join the Motorola Feedback Network, and submit an application via the Beta Testing Opportunities page. Upon approval, the company will deliver the beta update over-the-air.
Keep in mind that this is still beta software. Users should anticipate potential issues such as malfunctioning features, increased battery consumption, crashes, or other instabilities.
