Motorola's site says that the nougat update is now available for moto x play but I haven't received any notification about it.
Plaese tell me when the update is likely to come.
shardulsingh22, take a look in this post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/general/nougat-update-erlier-year-t3514906) here are all information and discussion about the Nougat official update. Dates are very difficulty to predict but in India a Soak test has started about 10 days ago, maybe OTA updates comes to all of us by the end of June.

How do you know it's another soak test and not the final release?

If it was official you'd have known that

Because it may have bugs and also night light isn't enabled yet!
From the updater script, looks like you'll need OPN27.74/28 to flash this soak test OTA, and will bring your device up to OPN27.76-12-2/4
Code:
Package expects build thumbprint of 8.0.0/OPN27.76-12-2/4:user/release-keys or 8.0.0/OPN27.74/28:user/release-keys
Having a quick look through the updater script, looks like it'll check and update your boot (kernel), modem, OEM, system and GPT/bootloader partitions. I see references to Google Widevine in the modem images too. At least the error messages seem to be a little more helpful.
You can find the updater script at the following path: OreoSoak2.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\ or as an attachment.
As always, it's up to you if you want to flash these soak tests, bear in mind there may be bugs and unless you get the other soak test OTA updates, you may not be able to update back to the official OTA path. That is, unless you can find the stock Oreo fastboot ROM or try to downgrade. Or you could just wait for the official Oreo OTA to come out....
That's soak 3 buddy.
and the soak 2?
Possible to flash over SOAK 1 with bootloader locked?
ill try to install but the windows says "no such file or directory"

No you need the second one as well. You must install them in order that is why it is never smart to install a soak test unless you are in the test

Can we install it from 7.1.1?

If you've got the December 2017 7.1.1 update on your device, completely stock, you may be able to install these soak tests. However, as xantanion has pointed out, there appears to be at least one soak test OTA missing. Thus, you may be able to flash the first soak test OTA, then you may not be able to flash the soak test in this thread as you're not on the expected build for this OTA (i.e. you may be missing the inter-linking builds as again pointed out by xantanion). OTA updates check the build you have on your device before flashing, as I mentioned in the above post - this OTA requires OPN27.76-12-2 or OPN27.74 - if you don't have either, you may not be able to flash this OTA.
Without access to those possibly missing builds, you'd be stuck on an OTA build, and unless you find the Oreo fastboot stock ROM (which isn't out yet) or downgrading back to 7.1.1 (possibly risky, requires an unlocked bootloader), you likely won't be able to progress (no OTA updates) or not be able to flash the non-soak OTA builds. You'll only get these soak test OTA builds if you're part of the soak test program or someone can leak them.
You do not have to flash these soak test builds, you can always wait for the official OTA to arrive, unless you're willing to put up with the possible bugs in the firmware and the possibility that your device may not receive OTA updates.
EDIT - looks like some users may be having some luck with this OTA build?

They're still going to have issues when it comes to updating to the full one even with being able to install it now via sideloading
Only two soak test are released over December security patch in India and they both are captured and shared on forum's
So when can we expect the actual update?

I imagine it really is Motorola's decision, whenever they're happy with the build from internal testing and from the soak tester reports, and whether there are any major/show-stopping bugs still present or introduced. Minor bugs, depending on if they've been reported, may be fixed prior to the final OTA, or scheduled to be fixed in the post Oreo release if they're more troublesome to fix or troubleshoot. The soak test OTA may become the final OTA that's released to the general update channel, or there may be further OTA patches, which of course will push back the release date. The last thing you want is to introduce the Oreo update and then pull it, as happened with the Samsung Galaxy S8 devices.
So, it's anyone's guess when the release date will be, and why OEMs likely don't give hard deadlines, despite what the PR news release that's been on Ausdroid and other platforms suggests. At least you're getting a soak test - Moto G4 Plus/G5/G5S devices haven't seen one yet!
Please share the new apps.. dialer, camera, contacts

I agree, you guys should ve happy for getting soal tests.. i have both G5+ and G5s+ and no soak tests.. we'll get oreo in may..
Pliss
Someone could kindly post all applications with new icons and the snaps manager ... thanks.

He meant a link to download the new apps without installing the soak test

Why moto dorsn't remove the buggy carrier name at the bottom lf the quick settings? With oreo we got that information at the top, no need to have it twice
Did anyone from india received the update nd anyone had captured the OTA?
From what I've seen, this soak test OTA has been released in Brazil - it could come to India given that Brazil/India devices run on the NPN25.137-92 series of firmwares.
However, as with any soak test, flashing this soak test will take you off the official OTA path, meaning that you may not likely receive security or version updates at all (unless you are already part of the soak test and have been selected by the Motorola Feedback Network). If this is the only soak test update, you may get back onto official updates, but if there are subsequent OTAs released to soak testers, you'd be stuck. Thus, to get back onto the official updates, you'd have to downgrade back to stock Nougat, try to find all the soak tests in order, or wait for the official Oreo fastboot ROM. Also, with any soak test, you may experience bugs, even device bricking bugs, so be careful.
Have fun but please be responsible and be aware about what you're flashing to your device.

Yup, so you'd likely have to revert back to the particular stock firmware required by this soak test (clean flash, so data wipe/possible internal storage wipe), then try to flash the soak test. Again, I've not seen any bug reports yet, but obviously if you flash this soak test and there are bugs, then you'll likely experience them....
