Android 7 Nougat for the Moto X Pure Edition

[acejavelin]

Not a good outlook for us to get Nougat... http://www.droid-life.com/2016/09/27/moto-z-moto-g4-nougat-update-release-date-q4/

Probably just a prep article to tell us the X Pure/Style, G 2015, G Turbo, and E2 are not up to snuff with Nougat. My hope meter just took a nose dive.

Lenovo sucks. I do not expect for any of their phones to get it, except for ones released this year.

Finally some official word from Moto, Moto X Pure/Style to get Nougat... no time frame given though.

When will we get Nougat?

Now that it's confirmed that MPE will get Nougat, I wonder when.

Re: When will we get Nougat?

My guess? Sometime next year.

Now thinking I want the moto z play. Like the finger print reader, better battery and availability of cases and accessories.

Probably pretty accurate to be honest... We will hear rumors of a beta soak test, full rollout will be 45-60 days after that barring any significant issues.

What are the nougat features? I sure hope they fix the stupid ring and notification volume control issues.

These wouldn't really fall under "features"... more along the line of bug fixes.

Features are well known and defined, a simple Google search will get you tons of articles describing the features of Android 7.0.

As far as what Moto may or not fix... who knows, it is just to early to tell.

Lenovo could also skip 7.0 and go to 7.1 directly, especially when the release dates are quite closer..this basically means a delayed release for all devices.

Re: When will we get Nougat?

No one bothers with all the pros and CONS of Nougat. Witness the confusion of the SD card with Marshmallow.

It looks like around December from something I read on another site.

I really need to know before update so I can refuse if I don't agree.

It's December 20. Where's Nougat?

I thought Motorola said we'd get Nougat in the 4th quarter? Only 11 days left, I'm not holding my breath. This really stinks, it seems like they are deliberately bypassing the Moto X Pure Edition, I'm not happy. Not even a security update since May. I don't want to spend $700.00 or whatever on a Pixel, but apparently that's the only way to get updates. Stinks.

Here's a link to Motorola's Official blog post where they list out which phones are planned to receive an update to Nougat: N is for Nougat: Android 7.0 is coming to your favorite Moto phones - The Official Motorola Blog

Here's what they specifically said about Q4:

We’re happy to confirm Android 7.0 Nougat is on its way to a lot of our smartphones, we’ll be starting in Q4 with Moto Z and Moto G (4th Gen).

The third gen Moto X has multiple versions of the first gen Moto Zs and fourth gen Moto Gs ahead of it.

Not even a security update since May.

Looks like the September 2016 patch is (slowly) rolling out now: http://forums.androidcentral.com/mo...september-1-2016-security-patch-new-post.html

You could spend less on a Nexus 6P or Nexus 5X. I'll repeat, if OS updates and monthly security patches are important to you, Pixel and Nexus are your only options.

For now.

A Moto Z Droid or Moto Z Force Droid specifically. Verizon model have received the Nougat updates before unlocked, non-carrier Moto Zs.

HTC has been doing a fantastic job on updates for the past year.

Maybe for the 10.

But they promised "within 15 days of Nexus" for the One A9.

Is the A9 on Nougat?

Verizon putting out any update, let alone an Android version before anyone else? That's some kind of world record!

Not really. The first gen Moto X for Verizon was one of the first phones to get KitKat.
