Just read this article this morning. Ran the quadrooter scanner app (available here) and found that my regular Moto g4 is vulnerable to 3 of the 4 exploits. I am not sure about the Amazon variant due to the fact that I don't own it, but I would assume that it would have similar results.

Every device with a Qualcomm processor is vulnerable, about 900 million devices is what I've seen. Supposedly Qualcomm is working on it but there's no fix yet.
I ran it on my Amazon variant (nonroot) and it shows 3 of 4 exploits too.

3 of the 4 vulnerabilities have been fixed in the July security patch. The 4th will be fixed in September's patch.
Nothing for the G4 yet, though.

I would hardly expect it soon since it's new but I'm no more worried about it than I was Stagefright.

So I Saw the news on AA and I don't know but it said here that most of the Motorola devices will receive Android 7.0. My confusion is that: will Moto X play receive 7.0 as well?
http://www.androidauthority.com/android-7-0-update-679175/
I guess we are out of luck on this one. I got my X Play in January. It came with Lollipop, but I could almost immediately upgrade to Marshmallow. Security level was "December 2015". Last April we could upgrade to March 2016 and since then there is no release except one for India. Since then Google has released updates :
April : https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-04-02.html
May : https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-05-01.html
June : https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-06-01.html
July : https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-07-01.html
August : https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-08-01.html
Each of these updates contains at least one (but up to eight) updates which are marked Critical.
I think any manufacturer has reasons to deploy these updates. Since it requires a lot of effort I'm not expecting an OTA each month, but it would be nice to see an OTA every 2-3 months. No news from Motorola is bad news for me. It seems they move on to the next series of devices.
After 5 months "your device is up to date", I've had it. My phone has been unlocked last week, and it now runs one of the custom ROMs found here. It has the July update, and I am expecting an OTA update for my ROM soon.
An 2015 phone without 7.0? No way. I hope we will receive it in 2017.

My humbled opinion is that we will get android 7 for sure. Lenovo support moto devices minimally with 2 big system updates and our moto got just one (marshmallow) yet. So I am quite optimistic if you ask me...
We can only speculate until they officially announce about if they will release or not.
Pretty sure the phone can support 7.0
At least SD615 is on the list of 7.0 supported SoCs, so fingers crossed:

huh? "According to a prominent source, Qualcomm is not releasing updates to the graphic drivers on the Snapdragon 200, 208, 210, 212, 400, 410, 412, 600,615, 800 and 801 chipsets"

Someone made a bad joke, 615 was on supported devices list when I linked it, so no worries
Here's another surce. According to it SD615 supports Vulkan 1.0:

Aaahhh i already found it, but you where first to post it
but if found another wiki page about the Adreno
As you can see the Adreno (graphical chip) of the Moto x play is supported(405) which is included in the Snapdragon 615
So there is hope for android 7
All 2015 moto x series are getting android N
I think N will be 64 bit.
These are the phones that receive regular security patches, according to Google http://news360.com/article/395488795
LG v20 is the only LG phone listed and you'd be surprised on how many phones are actually missing from the list, Nothing from HTC and the only Samsung model is the S7.

My wife's Stylo got the Feb 2017 security patch 3 weeks ago. They support their$175 phones with security better than their $750 phone.

Note 4 has been getting almost regular security patches. I haven't flashed mine up to date as it's a lot of trouble to set mine up between Xposed and code changes but nonetheless it's been somewhat regular. I think I am on may or June 2016 and it is up to February or March at least.
Its quite "complex" because they state it depends on which carrier you are on which patches you get and when. If you buy the phone outright its different again? I would be fascinated how it works. The world of Microsoft Windows, iphones, Pixel & Nexus is so much more simple. I did reach out to LG support no real straight answer.
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-32430 currently lists "Android 7.0 Software version H91810p Available August 7, 2017, Google monthly security update, Various bug fixes and software improvements" while my Nexus 6P lists Android security patch level August 5, 2017, can any updated T-Mobile H918 owners confirm (e.g. in Settings->System->About phone->Software info) their LG V20™ T-Mobile H918 has the August or July Security patch level?
Feel free to also comment if you've noticed any issues (i.e. problems or "improvements") with such updates?
-Thx
Mine shows July security patch.

Appreciate the reply, so I assume you have no regrets choosing it with its recent updates, fully functional Wi-Fi calling..is your updated H918 about as snappy as it was initially?
BTW, do you/anyone expect the H918 will get an official Oreo-Android 8 update?
I think the V20 will get Android 8 but it will be a bit late to the party. If you want Android 8 out of the box you'll likely need a pixel or the V30.
I am finding it so far about the same performance-wise as before. As for wifi calling, I don't make a lot of actual phone calls so I can't speak for hope that's working. But it is showing connected while connected to WiFi.

The V30 specs should be confirmed Thursday but I've read the Pixel 2 devices will more likely be the first with Android 8 out of the box.

The V series is what LG usually uses to experiment with especially with newer versions of Android.
Hello,
Don't know if it is still necessary but.. A petition for an upgrade of android 7 to our G4 H815 International version.
Android 7 came out during the 2 years of maintenance of the G4.. so... LG HAS the obligation to roll out this version to every G4 version.

I'm not trying to hate but... I've never experienced that a manufacturer took a petition for a software update/upgrade serious in any way. I've seen more than just a couple of those kind of petitions. It's pointless, it won't change anything even if it get's signed a thousand times.
Just install the "beta" version of Nougat. I've had it for over a month now and haven't noticed any setbacks. Well, other than a little screen burn, but I'm not sure if it's the Nougat or phone that's getting old. No random restarts, no FCs, nothing...Just smooth sailing. LG is not known for its good software support, so I wouldn't hold my breath about official Nougat anymore. I guess that ship has already sailed.

I've LG G4 H818P. There is a high risk of root and unlocking the device due to the warranty on the device. Especially when it comes to a device such as the LG G4 that is largely prone to bootloop.

Well, the bad thing about this beta is that it is vulnerable to the recent exploits in Android as the security patch of this rom is from June 2017. So it is vulnerable to Blueborne bluetooth exploit and KRACK wifi exploit.

By not buying LG again? Okay, so which manufacturer will give you updates for a long period of time?
Maybe if some company would officially support Lineageos on their device.

I haven't said that. I just meant to say that if the next wave of LG "flagships" have poor sales, maybe they will eventually do something about it.
Maybe they improve on their support, or on their quality control, I don't know.
In the short run, they will probably just ignore os.
But in the long run, if the sales figures go down and the number of support calls and/or device recalls go up maybe, just maybe, they will do something about it.
Who knows, maybe I will buy another LG product/phone if the quality and support of their devices will improve. But as it now stands, they are going down fast.
The latest sales figures already posted here are self explanatory.
LG is a bad smartphone manufacturer - majority of their recent phones have been plagued with issues (some serious some not so much)
no point in petitions cause they will ignore them, and even if they don't and actually release Android 7.0 for G4, thats still a year old OS which LG will leave at version 7.0..
just buy a smartphone that is easy to root (oneplus 5?) and go with lineage OS or something similar that gets updated on a daily basis
LG is **** tier and both their hardware and software suck

I agree for the version, but not for root.
I tried with my nexus 4, I scre** it up. totally. And reading articles telling you that you have a lot of manipulations to root etc, no thanks... Except if you have a software that you install normally and boum... rooted.
I will see if the V30 will be released with oreo version. Which i doubt....
Haven't seen much talk about it on the web for a while. Wasn't it supposed to come out in Q3 or Q4 if so?

If I remember correctly, the Oreo update was later than projected. Don't give up hope yet (though you may be right).
I wish they would ship the update. They must have completed 95+% of the required work since the Korean V20 phones are updated.

Agreed
American providers are notoriously slow to approve updates especially when they declare a phone eol and drop network support...
I'm not sure why this is such a big deal. Oreo doesn't even completely work well on the V20, so why should I be enthusiastic about getting a version of Pie that has a jacked up second screen and various other issues like the Korean V20 variants? I'd rather have a fully functioning device than something with newer software but still broken and outdated.
It's Windows 8.0 fever in here. Or Magisk 20.2 fever. Whatever your choice of not fully tested software is.
