Motorola is one of the first companies to trust when we talk about major software updates to its smartphones. One of the reasons for that is that the company doesn’t fuss around a lot with the stock Android ROM that is offered by Google.
Every year, it is Motorola pushing out updates after Google releases the new Android OS update in the second half of the year. Also, about two or three generations of smartphones are usually bound to get the update. So, this time as well we will see Motorola phones getting Android Nougat update. Android 7.0 that was recently released, was first seen in the LG V20, and then the two smartphones, i.e. Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL came out with Android 7.1 Nougat.
In the list below, you will find the smartphones that will be getting the Android 7.0 Nougat update, and these are the Motorola phones that we are talking about.
- Moto G (4th Gen)
- Moto G Plus (4th Gen)
- Moto G Play (4th Gen)
- Moto X Pure Edition (3rd Gen)
- Moto X Style
- Moto X Play
- Moto X Force
- Droid Turbo 2
- Droid Maxx 2
- Moto Z
- Moto Z Droid
- Moto Z Force Droid
- Moto Z Play
- Moto Z Play Droid
- Nexus 6
So this time, the Moto X 2nd gen. is left out and the users of that smartphone will have to settle for Android Marshmallow OS if you are using the official ROM. But if you are happy with some custom ROM for Android Nougat, you may find them in a few days or weeks, because we’re sure developers have started working on the updates already.
The Android Nougat update brings about a lot of radical changes and there will be a lot of smaller changes and feature additions as well.
When will the Motorola phones get the Android Nougat update?
It is in the Q4 of 2016 that is the date stated by Motorola for the release of Nougat update for the Motorola phones listed above. It could possibly get delayed for a few phones but still, these Motorola phones are confirmed to get the Android Nougat update.
Some of the changes in this new update include Multi-window support, Notification enhancements, Data Saver, Background optimizations, Direct boot among many others.
