What better time to announce some bad news but the day of one of the biggest Google launches since the launch of Android itself. Lenovo has taken the opportunity to announce which of their phones will be updated to Nougat, and for some users the news isn’t great.
The Moto phones in line to receive the update includes a few notable exceptions including any Moto E phones, as well as last years Moto G 2015 (Gen 3) and older Moto X devices. Last year Moto received significant feedback from users for omitting phones such as the Moto E which had only been on the market for a short period of time, Moto eventually responded by updating the phone so there could be more movement on the devices, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
The rest of the phones included in the list are an assortment of relatively recent phone releases, as well as the recently launched in Australia, Moto X Force. The ‘gimme’ of the lot has got to be the Motorola built, but Google controlled Nexus 6.
The full list of Moto phones getting the Nougat update includes:
- 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
The update to Nougat will begin in the 4th Quarter this year with the Moto Z and Moto G (4th Gen) first in line to receive the update.
