Motorola Razr 60 Ultra Finally Receives Android 16 Update

Summarize This Article:

After launching the Android 16 rollout with the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra last month, the American multinational telecommunications company has now started rolling out the update for the newer Razr 60 Ultra. Motorola typically releases the Android updates a bit later than other models, and the trend continues this year as well. Needless to say, the update bags a slew of new features, changes, and fixes.

At the time of writing, the rollout is live in Brazil, and some users had already received the update. A broader international rollout should follow soon. As per the details shared by Reddit user CurupiraDev, the update is rolling out with W1VL36H.59-55-5 software version. As it is a big upgrade, it requires a big chunk of data for downloading. So, please ensure you have enough data and storage to install the update on your Moto Razr 60 Ultra.

Take a look at the list of changes coming with the Android 16 update to Moto Razr 60 Ultra. Here’s the official changelog shared by Motorola:

What’s New in Android 16 for Moto Razr 60 Ultra
Feature improvements
After upgrading, you’ll see the following improvements to the Android operating system and other apps.
Find modes in one place
Now you can find these modes in Settings > Modes:
Do Not Disturb
Bedtime
Driving
You can also create custom modes to fit any situation where you want to choose a different set of people or apps who can interrupt you.
Toggle these modes on or off in quick settings.
Connect to Wi-fi and hotspot with one tap
If your phone and device you want to connect to its hotspot are using the same Google account, you no longer need to enter a password to connect.
Better support for low-energy audio hearing aids
You can now choose to use either your hearing aid’s built-in microphone or your phone’s microphone during voice calls. Additionally, you can adjust the volume of ambient sound captured by the hearing aid’s microphones. These options help enhance call clarity, especially in noisy environments or when your hearing aid’s battery is running low.
Other improvements
Android system updates add more than new features. Using the latest Android update provides other improvements such as:
Enhanced security and protection to defend against evolving threats like malware, phishing, and data breaches
App compatibility with newer apps, which often require the latest Android version to function correctly
Performance improvements that optimize your phone’s operating system for smoother performance, better stability, and, in some cases, longer battery life
Bug fixes and stability enhancements to resolve known issues and improve overall reliability and stability
