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.

Motorola is gearing up to unveil its next gen flagship smartphone soon. But while rumors predicted that the Edge 70 Ultra is on its way, a fresh leak claims otherwise. The next premium phone from the brand could be dubbed the Motorola Signature. So here’s what we know.

Motorola Signature: New flagship vision from Moto?

The news of Motorola’s shift in flagship branding arrives from known tipster Evan Blass. 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.

The Android 16 update is gradually expanding to budget Moto G series smartphones, with the latest being the Moto G86. Its sibling, the Moto G86 Power, received the latest software last month, and now the update is out for the vanilla model as well.

Motorola confirmed the Android 16 rollout for the Moto G86 via its support pages, as spotted by Ytechb. As the update has just started rolling out, its availability is currently limited to select regions, primarily European countries. However, it should also expand to other regions pretty soon.

The latest update for the Moto G86 is tagged with the firmware version W1VN36H.60-30. It’s the same firmware version as for the Moto G86 Power, and has a download size of about 1.33GB. The update also brings the October 2025 security patch, alongside the changes as part of Android 16.

If you have a Moto G86, navigate to Settings > System updates > Check for updates to check if the update is ready for your device. If it doesn’t appear, please check back in a few days, as the rollout will expand in stages.

Android 16 is the first major Android OS upgrade for the Moto G86, as it was launched a few months ago with Android 15. The smartphone will receive at least one more Android upgrade before it runs out of OS updates. However, it will continue to receive security updates for at least three more years. 

Here’s the complete Android 16 update changelog for Moto G86:

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
