New to Android. I have the G4 Plus. Brand new and I don't have a SIM card in currently. Just using WiFi to add apps and learn my way around Android. Will Nougat be pushed to this phone since it is not affiliated with a carrier?
For unlocked phones that are purchased that way and not tied to a carrier, yes.But Lenovo/Moto can push updates directly to phones? That seems odd if they can bypass carriers... or do some carriers allow that?
As I said being new to Android I am not clear on how updates are pushed out. I know carriers have control of whether they want to push Nougat to phones on their network. But Lenovo/Moto can push updates directly to phones? That seems odd if they can bypass carriers... or do some carriers allow that?
Seems I can't take a simple "Yes" for an answer...sorry.
It's not affected by the SIM card. The network you're on for this unlocked phone shouldn't affect when it gets updated. That will be up to Motorola. There's no need to not use it in the meantime.Okay. That is incentive for me to not put a SIM card in this phone until it receives the update. I have no timeline I need to meet for getting this phone on a network.

Moto has stated that they will not release monthly security updates. At best we will get security updates twice a year.
No known updates without flashing them from another regionJust got the wife a g4 plus last week. It's got a cricket sim in it but is still on marshmallow and July security update. Will it update soon or do I need to try without a sim? Any other way to force some updates through?
