Motorola Commits to Updating High-End Phones to Android Oreo

Sep 14, 2017, 3:27 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Motorola today said it will update a significant number of its smartphones to Android 8 Oreo. Those devices on deck for the latest version of Android include the 2016 Moto Z, Z Droid, Z Force Droid, Z Play, and Z Play Droid, as well as the 2017 Moto Z2 Play, Z2 Force Edition, X4, G5, G5 Plus, G5S, and G5S Plus. It appears that Motorola's E and C series devices will not be updated to Oreo. Motorola said that in addition to the core Oreo code and Google Play Protect, the updates should improve handset speed, battery life, multitasking, text selection, notifications, and autofill behaviors. The updates will arrive on a per handset basis beginning later this fall.

Pleased with what Lenovo has done with Moto

At first I was a little skeptical of Lenovo, but they've turned out to be very respectable.

I picked up a Moto Z Play last year, and i've found myself using it more than my Pixel and S7. It's a fairly solid performer with amazing battery life. If the camera were a little better i could use it 100% of the time!

100% agree.

The latest camera update made the pics better but made the camera slower....otherwise it's a great phone. Use it more than my G6 or my SE
