Another affordable Moto G-series smartphone has started to receive the Android 16 update. I’m referring to the Moto G67 Power, which is now receiving its first major Android update.

The Android 16 upgrade for the Moto G67 Power is tagged with the firmware version W1VN36H.60-30 and has a download size of 1.33GB, as noted by Ytechb. If the update notification hasn’t arrived yet, navigate to Settings > System updates > Check for updates to manually check for available updates.

While it is a major upgrade, you won’t notice many visual changes. However, it does bring many improvements to enhance the software experience.

After upgrading to Android 16, Motorola users should see a new Notification cooldown on their devices. This prevents users from getting annoyed when an app sends too many notifications in a short time. It basically lowers the volume of such incoming notifications. The upgrade also introduces a Flash notification feature within the Settings app, which can be configured to flash the camera or screen upon receiving calls and notifications.

The Settings app in Android 16 also introduces Custom modes, allowing users to create profiles for different activities. Additionally, the update brings Advanced protection, a suite of security features designed to protect you from various vulnerabilities and security issues. Improvements have also been made to compatibility with Bluetooth LE audio devices, Wi-Fi connection, and device stability.

No more OS upgrades beyond Android 16

While it’s good to see the Moto G67 Power getting a major upgrade just a month after its launch, it’s also disappointing that it wasn’t released with Android 16. The latest Android OS was released by Google back in June, but Motorola shipped the G67 Power with a year-old OS, that too in November, when some brands are moving towards wrapping up their Android 16 rollout.

Also, Motorola promises just one major upgrade for the Moto G67 Power. This means the device won’t receive Android OS updates beyond Android 16. However, it will continue to receive security patch updates for three years.

In response to a recent tweet related to the alleged Edge 70 Ultra renders leak, he claimed that the company’s next flagship carries the codename Urus and will be the first model in the new Motorola Signature lineup. Although, it is unclear if the branding is dedicated to a certain region or will be uniform across the globe.

Motorola devices from the Edge and Razr lineup usually have a slightly different names than their global counterparts. Furthermore, another leak from a Weibo tipster confirmed some of the high end specs of this upcoming smartphone. The Motorola Signature will reportedly sport a tall 6.7-inch flat OLED with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, it might be equipped with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC. For photography, the Motorola Signature is expected to feature a 50MP triple camera setup that likely consists of a main, ultra wide, and periscope telephoto shooter. Lastly, three of the color options were also revealed, including black, green, and bronze. Some of these specs are similar to the Edge 50 Ultra, which was the last Ultra model from the brand. But unfortunately, this is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more.
