Will Moto G 2015 get Android Nougat?

I hope Nougat will be coming to my MotoG3. I'm kinda worried because when Marshmallow finally rolled out, the G2s didn't get the update and iirc they were promised 2 version upgrades within their support window.

I'm thinking no. Moto/Leno was none too quick on MM, and are ignoring MM 6.01, at least in the states. It's too bad, because Moto was becoming a viable option for the Nexus line, with their past update history. Myself, I want a phone that will be updated whenever Google releases a major upgrade. Kind of like Apple. I guess that is only going to be on the Nexus line now.

The problem was they were too quick to jump into 6.0.1, which was rolled out to a few specific models and had tons of issues, and the roll out stopped. Why it never progressed any further is a mystery and Moto is not talking. When the Moto G 2015 was released, it was stated that it would be supported for 2 software releases, but they said that about the Moto E and G2, and those were forgotten as well.

I am hopeful we will get it, but not confident. It is possible that Moto decided not to waste resources on continuing 6.0.1 development because it will move directly to N, but the time lapse seems quite a bit.

I put the odds at 50/50... my 2 cents worth on the subject. Of course, I have little doubt we will get CM 14, so there should be third party support for the Moto G 2015 with N unless there is some show-stopping issue we don't foresee at this time, the device is just too popular with the developer community.

Count on it? Never. Just nice that Kevin took the time to reply! I'm quite happy with 6.0 !

I answered that question in the original post. Also, I hope you're right.
