Historically, Motorola has been slower than some of its competitors in rolling out software updates, and it appears to be taking a different approach with Android 15. According to a post shared by a user named @Fanboy_Moto on X (formerly Twitter), Motorola has officially released the Android 15 Beta update for its Edge 50 Fusion model. This move signals a shift in Motorola’s update strategy, potentially speeding up user software rollouts.
The Android 15 Beta for the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion comes with firmware version V1UUI35H.6 and weighs in at 1.89GB. This update is touted to improve speed, security, and overall usability. According to reports, users who install the update will benefit from smoother graphics rendering, faster App performance, and various new features. These include screen recording alerts and an easier method for switching between different languages, enhancing the device’s global usability.
Motorola’s early beta release of Android 15 for the Edge 50 Fusion is a notable step for the brand, which has typically lagged behind its competitors in offering timely updates. In past years, Motorola users often expressed frustration over delayed software support, particularly compared to brands like Samsung and Google, which have been known for quicker rollouts of Android updates.
While the Android 15 Beta is currently available only for the Edge 50 Fusion, it is expected that other devices in Motorola’s lineup will receive the update in the coming days. The company has not provided an official timeline for the full release of Android 15, but users can anticipate broader availability in the near future.

Motorola’s Strategy Shift

The brand, which had fallen behind other manufacturers in delivering updates promptly, seems to be focusing on catching up. The quick release of Android 15 Beta, combined with a comprehensive list of eligible devices, shows Motorola’s commitment to providing better software support for its user base.
With the rollout of Android 15, Motorola aims to enhance the user experience across its product lines, from the premium Edge series to the affordable G-series, and its innovative Razr foldables. The next few months will be crucial as Motorola continues to update its devices and seeks to maintain a stronger position in the competitive Android market.
