Motorola has become the first non-Google brand to begin Android 17 beta testing.

Registrations are now live for the following select devices across different markets.

Motorola Android 17 beta program: Eligible devices

The Android 17 beta program is currently open to select models across specific regions. In the United States, owners of the Motorola Edge 2025 can apply for the beta. In Europe, the Middle East and Africa, the program is available for the Moto G57 and Moto G57 Power. Meanwhile, users of the Moto G57 Power in India can also register their interest.

Motorola has clarified that not all applicants will be selected for the beta phase. Chosen participants will receive further communication by email once the rollout begins.

As this is an early beta build, users can expect potential bugs, performance inconsistencies and feature limitations. The company recommends installing beta software only on secondary devices rather than primary phones used for daily tasks.
