Google rolled out the first Android 17 beta for eligible Pixel devices earlier this month, and other smartphone makers are now starting to follow suit. In a somewhat unexpected move, Motorola is among the first to announce its own beta program, giving users with select devices a chance to experience the OS upgrade ahead of its wider public release.
According to GSMArena, the company has opened registrations for a limited number of devices across different regions. In the US, Moto Edge (2025) users can sign up for the beta. Meanwhile, users in select European, Middle Eastern, and African markets with the Moto G57 and Moto G57 Power are also eligible to participate. In India, the Moto G57 Power has been included in the initial beta rollout as well.
In the US, users can enroll by filling out the Android 17 beta registration form, submitting their device’s IMEI number, and completing a survey. If selected, the beta build will be pushed as an over-the-air update. As with any pre-release software, the beta may include bugs and performance issues, so it is generally recommended for advanced users or those with a secondary device.
Motorola has yet to share a detailed changelog
While Motorola has not detailed the specific changes included in its build, Android 17 is expected to bring noteworthy performance improvements with better system optimization and refinements for the overall user experience. Additional interface tweaks and under-the-hood enhancements are also part of the broader update.
Motorola’s beta program is expected to gradually expand to more devices, and more models could gain access in the coming weeks. A broader stable rollout will follow later this year after Google releases stable Android 17 for its Pixel lineup.
