Motorola Outpaces Samsung: Android 17 Beta Testing Launched for Budget Models

A major surprise has hit the mobile tech market: Motorola has become the first manufacturer after Google to launch Android 17 beta testing. Notably, the brand managed to jump ahead of industry giant Samsung. Analyst Merdan Yuldashov highlights the uniqueness of Motorola's strategy: instead of focusing solely on high-end flagships, the company opened access to the new OS for budget models like the Moto G57 and Moto G57 Power. Currently, testing is underway in the US, India, and the EMEA region. This move could signal Motorola's return to its roots when the brand was known for being among the fastest to roll out software updates.
