All Motorola Devices Which Will Get Android N 7.0 Nougat update

After several months of teasing people with the name Android N, Google came with a name for Android version 7.0 that was the Android Nougat, And it was released on 22 August 2016.

Update: Moto X Pure (Moto X Style) has got the Android Nougat update. However, the Moto X Play nougat update is still under testing in some regions. According to the company, the Moto X Play will soon get the Android Nougat update.

Whenever there is a buzz about a new version of Android being released an essential question in every geek’s mind is, Will my phone get the latest update or not? Moreover, if you are a Motorola user, you are in the right place.

Update: All the Motorola devices that will receive Android O 8.0 Update.

Today our team has compiled a list of all the Motorola devices which will get to taste the latest Dish from the house of Google, and that is the Android Nougat or the Android 7.0.

Motorola Android 7.0 Nougat update list

Android 7.0 Nougat Features

Before we move on to see which Moto devices are going to get Android Nougat Update, let’s first see what’s new in this major update from Google.
The primary feature updates in Android Nougat are –
• Direct Reply Notification
• Multi-window
• Bundled notification
• Night mode
• Improved battery saver
• The Doze feature now works on the lock screen itself
• Unicode 9 Emoji support
• Settings have Subheads
• Some enhancements in Security –FFile-level encryption is supported currently
• Significant updates in performance due to addition of Just in time(JIT) compiler which finally gets rid of that long “Optimizing Apps” screen

Note: Most of the Motorola’s 2014 devices will not get the Android Nougat update. There are plenty of reasons behind this, one of them is hardware limitation! Because of Vulkan API, Android Nougat needs the Open GL 3.1 native support which is not present in most of the 2014 CPU’s.

Nougat brings some essential and much-needed practical updates to the currently existing Android framework, The transition is much smoother now and features like multi-window, and Direct reply notification is just icing on the cake. Overall the Nougat update has just taken the Android experience to the next level.
Now let’s See which of the Moto devices will get a taste of Android Nougat:-

Update: Motorola confirms that Moto G4, Moto G4 Plus, and Moto Z series Smartphones will get the Android Nougat update in Q4 of the year.

Kindly note that Moto G 3rd Gen, Moto G Turbo Moto E3 Power and Moto E 3rd Gen are currently not listed in official Motorola update program list, but in future Motorola may update them.

List of Moto smartphones that are going to get the Nougat update in Q4 2016:

Moto Z (Both Droid and International Edition)
Moto Z Force
Moto Z Play (Both Droid and International Edition)
Moto G4
Moto G4 Plus

Moto Z SERIES

Since the Z series featured the flagship devices from the house of Motorola, it is entirely assured that the Moto Z series will get an official OTA update to Android 7.0 and it is quite apparent that the Z series phones will be the first ones to receive the update in the Moto family.
Moto Z (2016) – XT1635-03
Moto Z-Droid
Moto Z Force Droid (2016) (VERIZON EXCLUSIVE IN US)
Moto Z Play (2016)
Moto Z Play Droid
The updated timeline may differ with every carrier, but it is entirely assured that every model will receive the update by the end of the year.

Motorola Nexus 6 is already receiving the Android 7.0 Nougat update.

Moto G SERIES

Moto G series constitute some of the best-selling devices from Motorola, the last two iterations of this series were the G4 (G4 plus and G4 Play), and they are the ones who will possibly get the Android Nougat update.
Moto G3 DUAL SIM (3rd Gen) – XT1540
Moto G (3rd gen) – XT1542/43/45 (BRAZIL AND LATIN AMERICA)
Moto G (3rd Gen) –XT1550 ( ASIA AND AUSTRALIA)
Moto G ( US AND VIRGIN MOBILE) – XT1548

Moto G4 PLUS (2016) – XT1644
The Moto G4 (2016) and Moto G4 Plus users can get an OTA at the end of November or early December.

Moto X SERIES

The midsegment range of smartphones from Motorola fall in this category, the likes of Moto X-Force, X-Play, X STYLE will be getting the taste of Nougat update.
There is a fair chance that even the Motorola Droid series phones of 2015 which are tied exclusively with Verizon will also be updated to 7.0
Moto X Play (2015) – XT1562 
Moto X STYLE (2015) –XT1572
Moto X Pure Edition (3rd Gen)
Moto DROID TURBO 2 (2015) –XT1580
Moto DROID MAXX 2 (2015) – XT1565
Moto X-Force Edition
A possible timeline suggests that the update will be sent over the air by the end of February next year. However, Some devices will get the update before next year.

Moto E SERIES

The pocket-friendly smartphones from the house of Motorola might not prove to be friendly this time; there is not even a little chance that the Currently Existing phones in the E series also the newly launched Moto E3 Power will get the Android 7.0 update.

Moto g3 turbo edition xt1557 has a better chipset then moto g4 play… It has qualcomm snapdragon 615 whare moto g4 play has qualcomm snapdragon 430….. So why the update would not be available for moto g3 turbo edition.. Where moto g4 play get the update?…clear us moto…

  22. First of all my Name is Lorenzo I’ve bought the motog3 because of it update supports and the price for what it can do. After 2 weeks when i bought it i received an update called marshmellow i was really happy with this update i still am. But when Android nougat came out i noticed something odds. The lack of support i knew that the motog3 wasnt getting another update. But it was to strange to believe it. So i still had faith in Motorola but when i came back to this forum i saw that the motog3 is only getting updated by cyangenmod. I find this unfair because i bought up to 2 years of support so you can imagine my feeling. And ofcourse other people to. So we signed a petition to hear is but it had all no use. I find it sad that we are getting threated like this. We don’t deserve this. It has lead it to me and proberly more motog3 users to not buy any motorola phone. I didnt have to be this way. Best regards -Lorenzo

  26. I love how people are requesting to have the update available for phones not listed. It’s not as simple as ask and receive. It takes a lot to get an updated android OS to run on older phones. Time and money. If your phone is not listed then it isn’t in the current plans to be updated. If something changes Motorola will let people know.

  29. Why isn’t Moto G Turbo Edition in the list? It was released in November 2015 and Android Nougat was released in August 2016, just 10 months after the release of Moto G Turbo. I understand that Moto G3’s cpu Snapdragon 410 doesn’t support Open GL 3.1 but Moto G Turbo’s Snapdragon 615 clearly supports Open GL 3.1. So why isn’t it getting the Nougat update?

    Timely updates and software support is the only reason anyone buys Motorola phones. If you take that away, you got nothing.

  50. No 7.0 Nougat for my Moto E LTE 2nd gen? Sorry but it was last device from you that I bought Motorola-Lenovo. Ridiculous situation, Moto E LTE has even more than enough hardware specification to handle not only 7.0 Nougat and the fact that it won’t get one is only Lenovo malevolence! Bye bye Motorola, Xiaomi is many times better choice than your products!

  52. Hello Motorola

    Sure thing, my country is México and my model number is XT1556.

    I have over 20 incidents with latin america customer help, and all I get every time is “wait”… since 5 months ago.

    Most other devices (from moto G2 to X play) in my country already have marshmallow update since april, but seems mine is forgotten, I wonder why older devices like G2 are already updated, but mine which is from november last year it’s still without marshmallow.

    Can you help me? Really 5 months waiting without news and most other devices already updated it’s disturbing.

    Reply
  53. I wonder if this list will not be a lie, like the one for marshmallow, I’m still waiting the update for my Moto G Turbo and the author itself said I won’t get it.

    I wonder if my Moto G turbo will get nougat someday, or I’ll stay forever in lollipop….
