Motorola is officially expanding its Android 17 Beta program to a wider selection of smartphones. After an initial rollout that began earlier in the year, the test software is now arriving on three popular models across multiple global markets, alongside broader beta expansions for foldables like the Razr lineup (read more in our Motorola Android 17 Beta coverage).

If you’re rocking a recent Motorola device and want an early taste of Android 17’s major interface overhauls and performance tweaks, here is everything you need to know about supported models, build numbers, and regional availability.

Which Devices Are Receiving the Update?

The latest phase of the Motorola Android 17 Beta expansion includes mid-range favorites and flagship-tier models alike. Each device is receiving a substantial update package.

Device ModelAndroid 17 Beta Build Number
Motorola SignatureA171WVH.13
Moto G57 PowerA171WAAH.16
Motorola Edge 70A171WRH.22

Note: Beta software is intended primarily for tech enthusiasts and developers. Because early test builds can contain occasional bugs or battery drains, proceed with caution if this is your primary daily driver.

Supported Regions & Availability

The update is currently rolling out live in waves across:

  • India

  • Brazil

  • EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa)

If you live outside these primary markets, Motorola is expected to expand the program to additional regions and device lineups in the coming days and weeks.

What’s New in Motorola’s Android 17 Beta?

Motorola’s take on Android 17 balances Google’s stock features with distinct software refinements:

  • Expanded Live Activities: Persistent dynamic widgets on the lock screen and notification shade now support active phone calls, media playback, and the flashlight toggle.

  • Redesigned Control Center & Notifications: A cleaner, more modular look for quick settings and system notifications.

  • Lock Screen Customization: New clock faces and typography styles to personalize your display.

  • Updated System Elements: Refreshed volume mixer, updated Settings menu, and smoother system animations throughout the app drawer.

How to Check for the Update

Since rollouts occur in staged batches, the notification might take a short while to reach your phone. To manually check if your unit is eligible:

  1. Open Settings on your Motorola phone.

  2. Scroll down and tap System (or System updates).

  3. Select Check for updates.

If the update is available, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi and have at least 50% battery remaining before starting the download.
