Motorola confirms Android 16 is coming to these phones
Ryan Haines / Android Authority
TL;DR Motorola has revealed which phones will get Android 16.
The list includes the Motorola Edge 40 Pro and higher, recent Moto G phones, and recent Razr foldables.
Unfortunately, many Moto G phones and the original ThinkPhone are missing from the list.
Google has just released Android 16, and we're now waiting for Android phone makers to announce their own rollout plans. Motorola hasn't announced a timeline for availability just yet, but it has revealed which phones will get Android 16.
YTechB tirelessly combed through Motorola's website and put together a list of devices which are confirmed to get Android 16. You can check out the full list below.
Motorola Edge 2025
Motorola Edge 60 Pro
Motorola Edge 60
Motorola Edge 60 Fusion
Motorola Edge 60 Stylus
Motorola Edge 50 Ultra
Motorola Edge 50 Pro
Motorola Edge 50 Neo
Motorola Edge 50 Fusion
Motorola Edge 50
Motorola Edge 40 Pro
Moto G Power 2025
Moto G 2025
Motorola G Stylus 2025
Moto G56 Moto G86
Moto G86 Power
Moto G85
Moto G75
Moto G55
Motorola Razr 2023
Motorola Razr Plus 2024
Motorola Razr 2025
Motorola Razr Plus 2025
Motorola Razr Ultra 2025
Motorola Razr 60
Motorola Razr 60 Ultra
Motorola Razr 50 Ultra
Motorola Razr 50
ThinkPhone 25
Unfortunately, there are a few high-profile omissions here. This includes the original ThinkPhone, a variety of Moto G devices, and the low-end Moto E15. In saying so, Motorola's budget phones typically get horrible OS update policies.
Motorola's website also lists the Razr 2023 as getting Android 16, but not the Razr Plus 2023. I'm guessing some phones might not be listed because they haven't received Android 15 just yet. So there's still hope that devices like the ThinkPhone and Razr Plus 2023 will get Android 16.
Android 16 brings iOS-like Live Updates, an embedded photo picker, improved predictive back support, an Advanced Protection Mode, and anti-scammer protections during phone calls.

Here's an early look at Google Keep's Material 3 Expressive design on Wear OS
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google is prepping Material 3 Expressive design changes for the Wear OS version of Google Keep. We've spotted the changes in the latest build on the OnePlus Watch 2R running Wear OS 4. It includes redesigned buttons and note cards, a new animation, and an updated checklist interface. Like Android, Wear OS will receive several visual changes based on Google's new Material 3 Expressive design language. We've already seen some of the system-level interface improvements in the first Wear OS 6 Developer Preview build. We now have an early look at the visual upgrades coming to the Google Keep app for Wear OS. Authority Insights story on Android Authority. Discover You're reading anstory on Android Authority. Discover Authority Insights for more exclusive reports, app teardowns, leaks, and in-depth tech coverage you won't find anywhere else. We've spotted the Material 3 Expressive design changes in the latest Google Keep release for Wear OS (version 5.25.232.01). As you can see in the attached screenshots, the revamped app has a larger '+' button on the home page and a new design for the notes cards. Instead of showing images in the background of a note, the redesigned cards have a carousel for the photos. The 'Add reminder,' 'Pin,' and 'Archive' buttons are no longer stacked vertically and don't feature any labels. They're arranged in a single row and feature a new expanding animation when you select them. The scroll bar to the right is slightly thicker, giving users a bigger touch target for more effortless scrolling. Lastly, notes with checklists have a slightly updated UI. When you check all the items in the list, you get a new expressive 'All done!' animation at the bottom and a smaller 'Uncheck all' button with no label. This refreshed Google Keep UI is live for us on the OnePlus Watch 2R running Wear OS 4, confirming that Google will extend the Material 3 Expressive changes to older Wear OS releases. However, it's not available widely at the moment, but we expect Google to roll it out to more users in the coming days. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

OpenAI and Microsoft Execs Reportedly Considering the ‘Nuclear Option'
OpenAI and Microsoft like to present themselves as the power couple of Silicon Valley, but behind closed doors, it's looking increasingly like a distraught and loveless marriage. The two companies, which are bound together by cash flows and an entwined product base, have been undergoing a turbulent negotiation surrounding OpenAI's desire for a shorter leash and the opportunity to turn itself into a for-profit company. Microsoft appears to be resistant to some of those goals. Now, a new report claims that the staff at OpenAI have prepped a 'nuclear option,' in case the negotiations do not go the way they want them to. The Wall Street Journal reports that OpenAI may run to the federal government and accuse Microsoft—its own sugar daddy—of anti-competitive practices. Were this to happen, OpenAI execs claim they would seek a federal regulatory review of the terms of the contract between them and Microsoft, with an eye towards identifying potential antitrust violations. For Microsoft, calling in the antitrust cops could be the most extreme form of betrayal that exists. It's been down that road, picked up the pieces, and become a very different company in the meantime. OpenAI might also launch a media campaign to air the duo's dirty laundry in public. The two companies have a quite unique relationship that could make such a conflict particularly disastrous. Microsoft doesn't own OpenAI outright, and the startup isn't technically beholden to the software giant. But Microsoft provides the cloud computing infrastructure necessary to fuel OpenAI's tools, and Microsoft earns a large percentage of OpenAI's profits until the startup repays Microsoft's initial investments. After the initial investment is paid, Microsoft will retain a large stake in the company and earn a certain percentage of OpenAI's profits until it hits a cap. But again, because it's not technically owned by Microsoft, OpenAI is still (technically) its own organization. OpenAI's effort to become a for-profit company is presumably pivotal to its long-term growth strategy—a strategy that could be strangled if Microsoft holds onto it too tightly. The Journal notes that much of the strife between the two companies seems to revolve around Microsoft's continued ownership over large parts of OpenAI's business: The companies continue to be at odds over how much of OpenAI Microsoft would own if it converts into a public-benefit corporation. Microsoft is currently asking for a larger stake in the new company than OpenAI is willing to give, people familiar with the matter said. OpenAI has to complete the conversion by the end of the year, or it risks losing $20 billion in funding. Were OpenAI to actually turn on Microsoft, the resultant corporate battle could be one for the ages—a truly ugly mud fight between two of the most influential companies in Silicon Valley. It's not clear whether we're at that stage yet, however. 'We have a long-term, productive partnership that has delivered amazing AI tools for everyone,' representatives for the two companies told the Wall Street Journal in a joint statement. 'Talks are ongoing, and we are optimistic we will continue to build together for years to come.' Gizmodo reached out to OpenAI and Microsoft for more information.

Garmin Edge MTB Is A Tougher, More Accurate Bike Computer
Garmin Edge MTB Garmin has made GPS-equipped bike computers for almost 20 years. Its first arrived in 2006, but the Garmin Edge MTB is the first from Garmin made specifically for mountain biking. The obvious question: what does that even mean? Garmin's mountain biking angle has two key strands. Ruggedization is the first. The Garmin Edge MTB has a tougher design than any other model in the Edge range. First up, there are its 'overmolded' buttons, meaning there are no gaps between the body and button to let dust, muck and grime find their way in. Garmin specifies the screen protection is Corning Gorilla Glass too, where screen protection often isn't even listed for bike computers. They typically stay rooted to a bike's handlebar during use, after all. GPS is the other specific strand to the Garmin Edge MTB mountain biking chops. Garmin brought dual-band GPS to some of its top-tier watches, like the Garmin Fenix 7, in 2022, and it's used to improve signal in areas that might otherwise struggle. This includes when you're in a skyscraper-packed city or, more pertinent for the mountain biker, a thick forest. The Garmin Edge get this dual-band form of GPS. 'View trail lines in greater detail while using the enduro or downhill ride profiles thanks to technology that is recording location data five times more frequently than other cycling computers,' says Garmin. The Garmin Edge MTB also features modes designed specifically for mountain biking. Its Downhill mode tracks downhill segments automatically, discounting the time spent heading back up to the start. And the Enduro mode tracks descent and ascent figures for each run, and for the session as a whole. This is also a high-end enough model to get trail data from Trailforks, alongside maps you can load to the 32GB internal storage. The most flush of mountain bikers might still want to get the Garmin Edge 1050 instead, though. It remains Garmin's top-tier cycling computer and has a super-bright LCD screen where the Edge MTB uses a more conventional 2.13-inch translfective display of 320 x 240 pixel resolution. The Edge 1050's 800 x 480 pixel screen will likely make maps look better. There is quite a disparity in cost too. The Garmin Edge MTB costs $399.99, the Edge 1050 is $699.99, and is available to order now.
