Motorola Razr+ (2024) Surprises with Early Android 15 Update: What’s New?
In a surprising move, Motorola is rolling out the Android 15 update to its Razr+ (2024) devices, much earlier than anticipated. This is a significant departure from Motorola's usual update schedule, which has often lagged behind other manufacturers. Owners of the Razr+ (2024) are now receiving the update, bringing a host of new features and improvements to their devices.
The update, weighing in at over 2GB, is currently rolling out to US users, with carriers having initiated the rollout in late April.
One of the most notable fixes included in the Android 15 update addresses a major Bluetooth issue reported by Razr+ (2024) users. This issue previously prevented the phone from connecting reliably to smartwatches, earphones, and even Android Auto.
Beyond the Bluetooth fix, the Android 15 update brings a variety of new features and enhancements including:
- Improved Connections and Sharing: Enhanced Bluetooth controls within Quick Settings for easier device management.
- Satellite Messaging: Allows users to send SMS messages even when a mobile network is unavailable (carrier dependent).
- One-Tap Hotspot: Simplified hotspot connection for devices using the same Google account.
- Accessibility Improvements: Easier font scaling, and improved support for Braille displays.
- Security Enhancements: Improved protection against phone theft, including adaptive authentication.
- New Emoji Stickers and Gen-AI Emojis: More expressive options for communication.
The update also includes the April 2025 security patch, addressing potential security vulnerabilities. Motorola is also integrating Moto AI features, exiting the beta phase for this model. Users can now access Ask Moto AI and AI Actions, offering personalized content and assistance.
Motorola's official changelog details an expandable menu for Bluetooth from Quick Settings.
