Motorola Edge 50 Pro: Receives Android 15 Stable Update

The update arrives with firmware version V1UM35H.10-38-1 and the size of this update is 1.77GB. The new Android 15 release is also pointed out to be smarter, faster, and more secure. Smoother graphics, faster app performance, screen recording notifications, and easy switching between languages are also some of its key specs.

The company has also assured the users that the installation process is secure, you won’t lose any personal information and you can continue using your device while the update is being installed.

Here’s the complete list of changes coming with the Android 15 update.

Improved Connections and Sharing

Control more Bluetooth features from quick settings

Previously, in quick settings, you could tap the Bluetooth icon to turn it on or off.

Now when you tap the Bluetooth icon in quick settings you can do much more: Turn Bluetooth on or off, Pair a new device, Switch paired devices, See the remaining battery on paired devices,  Disconnect or forget a paired device, For a paired device, change sound settings and access to contacts and history

Use satellite messaging when the mobile network is unavailable (not all carriers support this feature)

Now, even when your mobile network is unavailable, you can send SMS. Your phone will automatically connect to a satellite, letting you send text messages. You’ll see a message on your lock screen and in the messages icon Messages app, notifying you that you’re connected to a satellite.

Use  one-tap hotspot to connect devices with same Google account

If your phone and the device you want to connect to its hotspot are using the same Google account, you no longer need to enter a password to connect.

Accessibility Improvements – Control hearing devices from quick settings

• Quick settings now has a tile to control hearing devices. Tap the tile to peek at hearing device battery levels, change device settings, and turn other audio features like Live Caption on or off.
• You can also switch between preset sound profiles that automatically adjust your hearing device based on your listening environment. Get presets for: Restaurants, Work, TV, Outdoors, All-round (neutral, balanced)

Get more vision support

• Now it’s easier to read using font scaling that prevents text from being too large.
• You can now connect modern refreshable Braille displays to your phone’s screen reader over USB or Bluetooth with Braille Display HID support.

Security enhancements

Find powered-off phones and connected accessories can now help you locate:

1. Your phone, even when offline
2. Headphones, tracker tags, and other compatible devices, even when powered off

Get secure, simpler to use authentication:

• To slow down phone theft attacks, adaptive authentication now locks the screen after 5 failed authentication attempts (PIN or biometrics).
• For apps designed for Android 15, access your saved passwords with facial recognition, a fingerprint, or your screen lock to log in. If you accidentally dismiss the passkey prompt, you’ll still find passkey or other suggestions in autofill screens, like keyboard suggestions or dropdown menus, making signing in easy.

Other improvements

• Circle to search items on screen: To search for more information for an item on your screen, touch & hold the navigation bar or home button to open the search feature, then circle or tap the item on your screen.
• See larger thumbnails in photo picker: Now thumbnails of photos and videos are easier to see and select for sharing.
• New emoji stickers: New Emoji Kitchen stickers are available, like the disco ball and headphones. Whether you’re rocking out to hip hop, country, or jazz music, there are now more ways to express your musical self.
• Gen-AI emojis: Create customized emoji with a wider range of expressions, styles, or themes with Gen-AI. Remix your favourite emoji and share them from Gboard as stickers.

Well this is not it, Motorola Edge 50 users who have already installed the update, seem to face some issues with their device. A reddit user asked a question whether he should install this update or not and his comment section was filled with users complaining about various bugs in the update.

One user mentioned that there are a lot of bus in this update and occasionally black screen and freezing issues were happening after this latest update. Another user mentioned about facing the problem of battery drain after installing the update. Users also complain about not being able to access circle to search feature or Private Space features was also missing.

There was this one user who has posted in detail about the problems faced on Edge 50 Pro after installing Android 15 update.

As per the user there were tons of bugs and glitches, the camera issue that earlier occurred in the device is not fixed and has even become worse like camera button not working. While the back button is said to show previous windows of same app, you can record a single app at a time- no other apps will be recorded even if you switch, while when you click on Bluetooth it shows Bluetooth devices instead of opening settings.

Seems like Motorola needs to roll out another update to fix all these above mentioned issues. Motorola is expected to address these concerns of users asap and the affected users may soon receive a new update.
