To manually check for updates, go to Settings > Software updates and tap the Download and install button. Since One UI 8 is a major upgrade, the update package weighs about 2-3GB in size, depending on the device. You must ensure that the device has sufficient storage.

While Samsung is busy with the One UI 8 rollout, it has already started working on the next iteration of its custom skin, One UI 8.5. That one will also be based on Android 16 and will bring significant visual and functional upgrades, enhanced AI capabilities, and greater customizations.

The One UI 8.5 skin will debut on the Galaxy S26 series earlier next year and will later expand to other Galaxy devices. While Samsung hasn’t announced anything about One UI 8.5 as yet, it will likely upgrade all One UI 8 devices to One UI 8.5, or at least most of them.

Motorola began the Android 16 rollout in September, earlier than most of its competitors, and has been gradually expanding the update to more devices since then.

So, if you have the Edge 50 phone and belong to any of the mentioned regions, you can take part in Motorola’s MFN beta testing program to get early access to the latest features and changes ahead of the public release.

Since Android 16 is a major upgrade, the package size weighs in at a few gigabytes. So, you must ensure that your device has sufficient storage before downloading the update and that it has at least 30% battery before installation.

What’s new in Android 16 for Motorola phones?

The Android 16 update gives Motorola devices a more expressive design, better protection against malicious apps, more transparent background activities, and better compatibility with LE Audio devices.

The major upgrade introduces custom modes in the Settings app, allowing users to create modes tailored to various situations. Also, the Do Not Disturb, Bedtime, and Driving modes have been moved to Settings > Modes.

Motorola users can now connect to a Wi-Fi network or a hotspot with a single tap, without entering a password. For this, both devices must use the same Google account. The update also includes security enhancements, improved app compatibility, smoother performance, and fixes for known issues.

The Android 16 update improves integration with low-energy audio hearing aids. During a call, users can choose to use your hearing aid’s built-in microphone or your phone’s microphone. They can also adjust the volume of ambient sound captured by the hearing aid’s microphones. This enhances call clarity, especially in noisy environments or when the hearing aid’s battery is running low.
