Unannounced phones land on Motorola’s Android 17 update list, but actual ones miss out
Lenovo skipped over recent Edge and Moto G models for Android 17 update eligiblity.
The latest Android 17 update list from Lenovo has stirred controversy, as several unannounced Motorola models have been included while current 2024 and 2025 phones are conspicuously absent. Among the phones that made the cut are the Motorola Edge 70 Neo and Edge 70 Plus, but numerous other devices, including several from the Motorola Edge 50 lineup, the Razr 2024, the Moto G56 5G, and the Moto G75 5G, have been omitted.
Lenovo's announcement of the Android 17 eligibility list earlier this month caused confusion and raised questions. Users on Reddit and in the comments section highlighted that prominent, relatively recent models should have been included in the list. However, the official Android 17 update list contains inconsistencies, such as duplicate entries for the Motorola Edge 60, further complicating the situation.
The inclusion of unannounced models in the Android 17 update list has left many wondering about the criteria used to determine which devices receive the update and which do not. Lenovo's earlier promise of multi-year updates for certain Motorola phones has been called into question, leaving users dissatisfied with the overall list.
