Just six months ago, Lenovo has release an announcement that they would be bringing the Android 7.0 Nougat update for the Moto G4 series, together with some other devices. A couple of weeks ago, the team started the process that brings the update to the US devices. They began with a reportedly “soak test” made on Republic Wireless, so they made the update available only for a particular number of devices. In this way, they will be able to see the real-world performance.
Moto G4 Plus to receive the update
The full rollout is on its way to reach the Moto G4 Plus devices in the US. According to a report made by Android Central, whoever owns such a model (with the number XT1644) started to receive the OTA (over-the-air) update. However, the update is available only for people who own an unlocked G4 Plus.
The file is around 741 MB large, and most likely it comes together with performance improvements and bug fixes, besides bringing the Android 7.0 Nougat OS in itself. It is unclear for now whether the update will bring the latest Android security patch released in March or not.
Features
Back in October, the Indian branch of Lenovo had made public an extremely detailed changelog that showed what will be included in the Moto G4 and G4 Plus devices update. According to the report, the update brings a quick switch feature between the apps, in order to help with multitasking. Moreover, the developers bring a multi-window view, so you can see two apps at the same time, side by side. Android Nougat also brings a new work mode, which lets you turn the work apps and notifications on and off. This is particularly useful in separating your work from your personal life on the device and not only.
