Moto Z Play to get Android 7.1.1 Nougat update, though Motorola doesn't know when
Last month, Motorola diligently brought the Moto Z Play to Android 7.0 Nougat. The update included an enhanced version of Doze Mode to help extend battery life, in addition to multi-window capabilities, customized quick settings menu, and a "clear all" button to close all open apps with a single tap – among many other fixes and improvements contained in Nougat.
We can't be sure about its plans for Android O, though. But Nougat isn't a bad Android version to be stuck on, anyway, and for those feeling brave, the custom ROM scene is still going strong. So chances are Moto Z Play users won't suffer too much if they don't get to jump ship to Android O this or next year.
That's about as official as it gets at this point...
