Motorola has expanded its Android 16 Beta (Test Drive Program) to include additional Moto G-series devices, especially multiple regional variants of the Moto G56 5G (EMEA, LATAM, and Brazil). Let us tell you that Motorola’s official MotoAgents have announced new testing opportunities on the Lenovo Community Forums, making it clear that the company is moving quickly toward the Android 16 update in the coming months.

Users of the Brazilian variant have also been invited to participate in the testing.
How Will the Android 16 Beta Test Program Work?
According to MotoAgents, this is a completely invite-based program. That means:
- Not all applicants will be selected for the test
- Selected users will be notified via email
- Once the testing phase begins, participants will receive the Android 16 build via OTA
Motorola has recently been focusing on speeding up the rollout of its MyUX software, and expanding region-wise testing programs is considered part of its core strategy.
Why Is the Android 16 Beta Important for the Moto G56 5G?
The Moto G series is Motorola’s best-selling budget–midrange lineup, and such early Android 16 testing indicates that:
Motorola is prioritizing Android updates again
Let us remind you that the company faced criticism over slow updates in the past two years. However, improvements were seen in the Android 15 rollout, and now the early launch of the Android 16 beta strengthens this positive shift.
Moto G56 5G Becomes the First Contender for the Upcoming Major OS Update
Since all three regional variants are included in the test, the final rollout is expected to progress rapidly. What do you think about this? Do let us know through comments.
Who Can Register for the Motorola Beta Program?
Moto G56 5G users in each region can visit their respective Lenovo Forum link to apply:
- EMEA Users
- LATAM Users
- Brazil Users
If you live in any of the regions mentioned above, you can register now. If you’re outside these regions, we expect Motorola to make the Beta Program available in your area in the future as well. This way, you will be among the first to test Android 16 and future Android updates.
What to Expect Next?
Motorola will push the Android 16 build to closed beta testers in the coming weeks. If testing goes smoothly:
- First, the Moto G56 5G series
- Then, other Moto G and Edge series smartphones
could receive the stable Android 16 rollout.
Android 16 will bring key upgrades such as AI-enhanced UI features, advanced privacy controls, and improved battery optimization — particularly beneficial for budget smartphones.
Overall…
Motorola has accelerated preparations for the Android 16 rollout and has now included three major regional variants of the Moto G56 5G in the beta testing phase. Users can sign up, but not everyone will be selected. This step signals a strong shift in Motorola’s software strategy, and it is expected that the Moto G-series will soon be among the fastest to receive Android updates.
