You could possibly be forgiven for forgetting about Motorola’s folding telephones in mild of latest shiny ones introduced by the likes of Samsung, however somebody on the firm should care about them — a new OS update has been released for the 2019 Razr, bringing it from Android 10, to Android 11 (via Droid-Life). Yes, that’s right — the OS that started hitting Pixels in September of 2020 is the one which grew to become obtainable for the Razr in the present day.

Note: The authentic Razr reboot and the Razr 5G each grew to become obtainable in 2020. However, the primary one was introduced in 2019, so I’ll confer with it because the 2019 Razr to assist keep away from confusion between it and the Razr 5G.

While it might seem to be the replace for the 2019 Razr is woefully late, take into account this: based on a report from Android Police and Motorola’s updates page, Android 11 began rolling out to the significantly better 2020 Razr 5G someday between April and July. For how first-gen the 2019 Razr is, getting the replace only some months after its successor isn’t too shabby (although getting it virtually a 12 months after it began rolling out is fairly tough, on an absolute timescale).

Motorola’s replace points aren’t restricted to its foldables, nonetheless. Many of its latest telephones solely include the promise of two years of safety updates, with some higher-end ones getting one main OS replace. Given that the Razr already received an improve to Android 10 (in May of 2020), in the present day’s replace places it at two function updates, which is healthier than what Motorola guarantees for a few of its non-folding telephones. And it needs to be, on condition that the telephones Motorola guarantees two years of safety updates for value between $160 and $400 — the 2019 Razr was $1,500 at launch. (Though that isn’t to say {that a} $400 cellphone ought to solely get two years of updates.)

Still, if you happen to’re nonetheless rockin’ an authentic Razr reboot, it’s an replace you didn’t have earlier than. You can learn our full rundown of what Android 11 provides right here, however the abstract is that it brings chat app bubbles, extra granular privateness permissions, and a extra feature-packed energy menu. Just do your self a favor and don’t look an excessive amount of on the options which are on the point of drop with Android 12, as a result of it’s onerous to think about that it’ll come to the older Razr anytime quickly, if in any respect.
