In summary:
- Tech Advisor examines which smartphones from major manufacturers will receive Android 17, Google’s latest OS update expected in June 2026.
- This matters for users wanting extended software support, as manufacturers now must provide five years of updates for devices released since 2025.
- Google Pixel phones will receive Android 17 first, while Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, and other brands have confirmed specific eligible models, though older devices like Galaxy S22 series and Nothing Phone (1) will be excluded.
Android 17, the latest update to Google’s operating system, is expected to be released in June 2026. It’ll bring some exciting new features for Android users. But is your phone in line to get it? Find out below.
Since 2025, smartphone manufacturers have been obligated to provide updates for their devices for at least five years. That means that the list is quite similar to that for Android 16. However, some devices will still be dropped from the update cycle this year.
Our overview reveals which smartphones will still be updated and will also receive Android 17. It’s sorted by manufacturer and includes links to our key reviews.
Note: Some manufacturers make clear statements regarding the planned update periods for their devices. Others only adhere roughly to the EU directive. So please treat this information with caution, as things can always change at short notice.

As is well known, Google will be the first to release an update to Android 17, as it doesn’t need to make any adjustments for its own Pixel smartphones. Thanks to Google’s extended update guarantee, every phone that received Android 16 will get the new update.
These Google smartphones are expected to receive the update to Android 17:

Samsung also provides updates for its current smartphones for longer than is legally required. The top-of-the-range models now receive up to seven generations of Android upgrades, while some A-series models receive at least six generations.
Precise details are missing for some budget models. However, as far as we know, these Samsung smartphones should receive Android 17:
No further Android updates expected: Galaxy S22 / S22 Plus / S22 Ultra, S21 FE, A53, A73, XCover 6 Pro, Z Fold 4, Z Flip 4.

Motorola
Chris Hall / Foundry
Motorola is a slightly trickier case. Although all manufacturers are equally affected by the EU regulation requiring them to provide at least five years of updates, the company claimed to have found a ‘loophole’ in this requirement. Consequently, it promises only four Android updates for some devices.
Whether this proves to be the case remains to be seen. However, these Motorola smartphones are highly likely to receive Android 17:
- Signature
- Edge 70
- Edge 60 / Ultra / Pro / Fusion / Neo
- Edge 50 / Ultra / Pro / Fusion / Neo
- Razr 60 / Ultra
- Razr 50 / Ultra / Neo
- Moto G56
- Moto G75
- Moto G86
- Moto G86 Power
- Lenovo Thinkphone 25
Unlikely to get Android 17: Edge 40, Edge 40 Pro, Edge 40 Neo, Razr 40, Razr 40 Ultra, Razr 40 Neo, Moto G35, Moto G45, Moto G55, Moto G85, Lenovo Thinkphone.

Although the manufacturer Nothing, or CMF, takes an unconventional approach to the design of its smartphones, it adheres to a clear principle when it comes to specifying available Android updates. All models receive at least three major Android updates:
No Android 17: Nothing Phone (1), CMF Phone 1.

What can I do if my device no longer receives Android updates?
If your smartphone no longer receives major Android updates, don’t panic. Manufacturers provide a set number of updates that include new features and improvements. However, there are also minor updates and important security updates that are independent of the Android 17 update.
So, if your device isn’t on the list of models set to receive Android 17, it’s best to check straight away whether it’s still receiving general support, so that issues and security vulnerabilities continue to be addressed. If that isn’t the case, you might want to consider buying a new smartphone.
