While Google gears up to launch Android 14, Motorola seems to be playing catch-up. The Moto G62 5G just received its first major update, Android 13. This rollout comes a year after Android 13 initially hit the market, and it’s making waves, especially in India and Brazil.
Motorola smartphones have long been celebrated for their near-stock Android experience. Yet, when it comes to timely updates, Motorola often lags, sometimes by as much as half a year. Even their flagship models aren’t immune to this tardiness.
Users in India and Brazil have already reported receiving the Android 13 update on their Moto G62 5G devices. The update, identified by build number T1SSI33.1-75-7, weighs in at a hefty 1.5GB. Unfortunately, Motorola remains tight-lipped about the specific changes and improvements bundled with this update. Even the Reddit screenshot that broke the news didn’t reveal which Android security patch accompanies the update.
People often worry about new updates causing problems, like weird lines on screens or screens going all one color. Luckily, no major issues have popped up with this update. A few had network troubles, but restarting the phone fixed it.
The update brings with it some intriguing features. You can now customize your apps by color, theme, and language. The media player now showcases album artwork and a dynamic playback bar. Plus, you get to pick and choose which app notifications to receive.
This might be the Moto G62 5G’s swan song when it comes to major Android updates. So, if you own one, make sure to check the Software Update page in your settings. And don’t forget, before hitting that update button, back up your data and ensure your phone’s battery level stands at least at 50%.
