Motorola is rolling out Android 17 to the Razr Ultra 2026 in the United States. The over-the-air update is a substantial 4.17GB download and installs software version A171WLH.38-19-5.

Owners should use a fast, reliable network before starting the installation because of the update’s size. Once installed, the foldable phone gains Android 17’s updated interface along with several Motorola-specific additions and changes.

What Android 17 adds to the Razr Ultra 2026

Motorola describes the new software as bringing a “fresh, expressive design.” The update reduces visual clutter and introduces smarter notifications, while also improving multitasking by making more apps accessible at the same time.

Enhanced security is included as part of the release, although the available information does not specify the individual security changes. The interface updates are intended to make everyday navigation and notification management less crowded.

Motorola adds Qira AI

The Android 17 release also brings Motorola’s Qira AI agent to the Razr Ultra 2026. Motorola first announced Qira at CES in January, and previously confirmed that the assistant would be part of the Android 17 rollout.

The update gives users an additional way to interact with Motorola’s AI software through the phone’s dedicated AI Key. Specifically, owners can now remap what happens when they double-tap that key, allowing the shortcut to be changed from its default behavior.

New HDR and notification controls

Display settings receive a new HDR control that can brighten the screen and expand its color range and clarity. An Intensity slider lets users adjust the effect rather than using only a fixed setting.

Motorola has also added haptic feedback when notifications are dismissed. That provides a physical response as alerts are removed, giving users confirmation that the action was registered.

How to get the update

The Android 17 rollout is currently available for the Motorola Razr Ultra 2026 in the US. As with other over-the-air releases, availability may depend on the device and rollout timing, so some owners may not see the update immediately.

Before downloading, users should ensure they have enough available storage for the 4.17GB package and connect to a suitable network. The update’s version number is A171WLH.38-19-5, which can help owners confirm whether the new software has reached their device.
