After weeks of suspense, Lenovo-owned Moto has finally announced the Android 7.0 Nougat release timeline for the company's mid-range phone Moto Z Play.
The company is slated to release Google's mobile v7.0 OS update to Moto Z Play in March, initially in the US and later to other markets. Before the public roll-out, Moto is expected to conduct the statutory soak-test, most probably in February, on Verizon exclusive Droid series, the unlocked and other network carrier models. Once convinced that there are no bugs, it will be deployed to Moto Z Play en masse.
