Moto G4, Moto G4 Plus and Moto G4 Play Android Nougat update
The first sighting of Android Nougat for the Moto G4 and G4 Plus was in India midway through December, 2016. This appeared on a handful of devices before the official rollout started just before the new year.
It was then quiet on the update front for a couple of months before speculation of its imminent deployment arose in early March. The update then rolled out to the Moto G4 Plus at the end of the month bringing unlocked devices in the US up to Android Nougat with a 741 MB package; the same rollout on the regular G4 occurred around the same time.
The Moto G4 Play Nougat update didn’t begin arriving until January, 2018. This first updates landed in Brazil, before rolling out with Verizon in the US.
