Full list of Motorola devices eligible for the Android 15 update

In September, Google officially released Android 15 to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), marking the next evolution of the Android operating system. Following this, major smartphone manufacturers began sharing their rollout plans for the latest update. Companies like Samsung and Nothing have already revealed their custom Android 15 skins, and Vivo has rolled out the update for a few of its devices. Meanwhile, Oppo is set to announce its Android 15 update on October 17.
Motorola, one of the leading American smartphone brands, has quietly shared a list of its smartphones eligible for the Android 15 update. While Motorola hasn’t made a public announcement, the official list of devices can now be found on their support page.

What About Older Motorola Models?
If you own older Motorola devices such as the Razr (2022), Edge (2023), Edge 40, or any models like the G54 or G84, these phones were notably absent from the official Android 15 eligibility list. While Motorola hasn’t provided information on these models yet, the company may update the list in the future. It’s also possible that these phones won’t receive the Android 15 update. We’ll keep you informed as more details emerge.
Motorola’s Update Strategy
Motorola has been criticized in the past for its slow software updates compared to competitors. However, the company appears to be making an effort to improve its process this time by providing the eligible device list earlier than usual. This could signal a more streamlined approach to delivering updates for Android 15, although only time will tell how quickly the update will actually roll out to devices.
For now, if you’re a Motorola user, keep an eye on the company’s official support page for the latest news on the Android 15 rollout. As more manufacturers begin rolling out Android 15, it will be interesting to see how Motorola stacks up in terms of speed and user experience.
Stay tuned for further updates on which devices will officially receive Android 15 and the potential timeline for the rollout.

Android might soon alert you when your time zone changes

Traveling with an Android phone can be confusing when it comes to keeping track of time, especially on long trips. Your device automatically adjusts to different time zones, which is handy but can sometimes leave you unsure about the actual time. Imagine being on an airplane, where the time might switch several times due to the flight’s Wi-Fi, making it difficult to know how long you’ve been in the air.
To solve this, Google seems to be working on a new feature for Android. According to Android Authority, who took a peek at the Android 16 Beta 1, there’s a new setting in the works. This setting would allow you to get a notification every time your device changes its time zone automatically.
You’ll find this new option under the “Settings” menu, specifically in “System” and then “Date & time.” By turning this on, you’d get a little alert on your phone saying, “Hey, you’ve just entered a new time zone!” This would help you keep better track of time without any surprises.
There isn’t a confirmed release date yet for this feature, but it looks like it might make its way into Android 16. This update could make traveling a bit less confusing when it comes to managing your schedule across different parts of the world.

Android 16 might alert you when your time zone shifts

One of the key roles of your smartphone is to keep track of time, and they do this job pretty well. By using information from your phone’s network, Wi-Fi, or GPS, your device can automatically adjust its time when you move to a different time zone. However, sometimes you might want to know right away when this happens, which is why Google is working on a new alert feature for Android 16.
While exploring the first beta version of Android 16, I stumbled upon some lines of code for a new “time zone change” option in the settings under System > Date & time. This feature is designed to notify you when your phone’s time zone gets updated automatically.
I managed to activate this setting in the beta. Here’s what it looks like:
I couldn’t show you the actual notification since I haven’t traveled out of my current time zone, but I know what it will look like. The notification will simply state that “your time zone changed” followed by details of your new time zone.
This is a simple yet useful addition because knowing when and how your time zone has changed can help you schedule meetings or make plans. It also saves you from having to check the settings manually when you need to adjust the time for apps like Outlook.
Handling time zones is not easy, but thanks to Google Play System Updates, Android phones can quickly adapt to new time zone data from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). With the various ways Android devices locate themselves, they are among the best for keeping the right time.
Though I found this feature in the Android 16 Beta 1, it’s not certain if it will make it into the final version. Features can appear in early builds but not in the official release. Given that Android 16 is expected to roll out in the second quarter of this year, we’ll know soon if this time zone notification feature will be part of it.

New Feature: See through Live Captions on Android

Since the introduction of Expressive Captions last December, Android’s Live Caption feature now includes an option to adjust the background transparency on Pixel devices.
Before this update, captions appeared on a solid light or dark gray background, which could sometimes block parts of the screen. Now, with the new transparency setting, you can see what’s happening behind the captions. This makes the captions less intrusive and more user-friendly, allowing you to keep them on all the time if you wish. Some users even prefer having no background at all, just the text floating over the video.
How to Use Background Transparency
To turn on this feature, simply tap on the Live Caption panel to bring up the options menu. Look for the three dots on the right side, tap on them, and go to “Customization.” There, you’ll see the “Background transparency” switch alongside other settings like “Translate captions” and “Live Caption.”
This update was noticed today with the release of version V.16 of Android System Intelligence for Pixel devices. Check the Google Play Store to see if an update is available for your device. However, this feature isn’t available yet for Android 14 on non-Google devices.
This follows the earlier update in December that brought Expressive Captions to life, adding more emotion through uppercase letters for emphasis, sounds like sighs or gasps, and background noises like applause. This is currently available for US English on Android 14 and newer versions.
