Motorola Razr Fold gets a much-needed software update, but still no Android 17

The Motorola Razr Fold (2026) has finally received a much-needed software update, but it's still far from the Android 17 version many have been eagerly awaiting. After being on the August 2026 security patch for far too long, owners of the premium foldable device are disappointed by the update's lack of major improvements. Motorola has released software version W3WBS36.36-123-2-1 for the Razr Fold, while the carrier-locked Verizon model is on W3WBS36.36-123-5-1, still on Android 16.

Despite cheaper Motorola phones having already jumped to Android 17, the Razr Fold remains stuck in the past. Motorola attributes the delay to additional foldable-specific optimizations, but an exact stable rollout date has not been confirmed. For a device costing nearly $2,000, the Razr Fold has been treated rather budgetarily in the software department, leaving owners frustrated by the lack of progress.
