Motorola Is Finally Updating Razr+ (2024) To Android 15, Two Months Faster Than Last Year

After a lengthy wait, Motorola Razr+ (2024) owners are finally getting an Android 15 update.

Motorola has a pretty iffy track record when it comes to Android updates. The company is either late to the party or doesn’t show up at all, with major updates often arriving several months behind other brands and the schedule as a whole not lasting nearly as long either.

Over the past few days, though, Motorola has been rolling out its Android 15 update to the Razr+ (2024). The update weighs in at over 2GB and is rolling out to US users, with carriers having started the rollout in late April. The update is also rolling out internationally. Android Central highlighted the rollout, and confirmed it was available on their test unit.

Last year, Motorola didn’t release Android 14 for the Razr (2023) series until July, after the 2024 series was released. Similarly, this comes just days ahead of pre-orders opening for the 2025 Motorola Razr series. Motorola has a changelog up for the base Razr (2024), but it’s not clear if the update is actually rolling out yet. If you’re seeing the update on your Razr (2024), let us know in the comments below.

The full changelog on Motorola’s website details an expandable menu for Bluetooth from Quick Settings.

Control more Bluetooth features from quick settings
Previously, in quick settings, you could tap Bluetooth to turn it on or off. Now when you tap Bluetooth in quick settings you can do much more:
Turn Bluetooth on or off
Pair a new device
Switch paired devices
See remaining battery on paired devices
Disconnect or forget a paired device
For a paired device, change sound settings and access to contacts and history

Motorola also notes satellite messaging support and the ability to start a hotspot from another device using Android’s Instant Hotspot feature.

The rest of the changelog follows:

Use satellite messaging when mobile network is unavailable
Not all carriers support this feature.
Now, even when your mobile network is unavailable, you can send SMS. Your phone will automatically connect to a satellite, letting you send text messages.
You’ll see a message on your lockscreen and in the Messages app, notifying you that you’re connected to a satellite.
Use one-tap hotspot to connect devices with same Google account
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.
Accessibility improvements
Control hearing devices from quick settings
Quick settings now has a tile to control hearing devices. Tap the tile to peek at hearing device battery levels, change device settings, and turn other audio features like Live Caption on or off.
You can also switch between preset sound profiles that automatically adjust your hearing device based on your listening environment. Get presets for:
Restaurants
Work
TV
Outdoors
All-round (neutral, balanced)
Get more vision support
Now it’s easier to read using font scaling that prevents text from being too large.
You can now connect modern refreshable Braille displays to your phone’s screen reader over USB or Bluetooth with Braille Display HID support.
Security enhancements
Find powered-off phones and connected accessories can now help you locate:
Your phone, even when offline
Headphones, tracker tags, and other compatible devices, even when powered off
Get secure, simpler to use authentication
To slow down phone theft attacks, adaptive authentication now locks the screen after 5 failed authentication attempts (PIN or biometrics).

For apps designed for Android 15, access your saved passwords with facial recognition, a fingerprint, or your screen lock to log in. If you accidentally dismiss the passkey prompt, you’ll still find passkey or other suggestions in autofill screens, like keyboard suggestions or dropdown menus, making signing in easy.
