It’s no secret we love Android. That’s why every one of our Moto phones is built on a foundation of pure Android - it’s easier to use, delivers amazing performance and lets you choose how you want to use your phone. So we have more sweet Android news to share...
When a new version of Android is announced, one of the first questions on everyone's mind is "when will my device be getting updated?" Fortunately, Motorola has moved towards complete transparency and providing timely updates over the past couple of years, and with the announcement of Lollipop it is providing details on what Moto owners can expect in the coming weeks.
That the Moto X, G, and E are all getting Lollipop is probably a good sign. Here's what the Official Statement Reveals :
Once Android 5.0 L is officially released, we intend to bring this latest upgrade to many of our other Motorola devices, as well. This includes Moto X (1st and 2nd Gen), Moto G (1st and 2nd Gen), Moto G with 4G LTE, Moto E(yaay !! ), Droid Ultra, Droid Maxx and Droid Mini.
Motorola is fantastic.... it updates even a very much low end Phone i.e Moto E to Lollipop. Cheers Moto !!
Don't Forget to Press THANKS.... It never hurts to click THANKS !!
Happy to hear that. Thanks for the information. Now the question is when do we expect it?

I agree 100%. It's BS that Motorola won't update this phone. It is a 2015 model and only 7 or 8 months old. A good point was made in your link. All the Android One phones are supposed to get 6.0 per Google so I'm curious if Motorola will use Ram amount as the excuse.
edit... Well, I see that on the Android One site Google says... * UP TO 2 years* so I guess some Android One customers might be upset soon.
Buy Motorola they said...
Quick updates they said...
In the meantime we're stuck at 5.0 Lollipop

LOL. XT1524 did not get any update since release and no upadates after just 8 months on the market? This company is the worst phone manufakcurer ever. :/ If it is really true, Moto E 2015 was my first and the last Motorola.

I've bought this phone because I though it will have support... at this price point I could have lg with some simmilar specs, maybe it won't have update but at least it has flashlight on the back
I know it is not Google's phone. Other manufacturers support their devices for at least a year or more.

I mean that when motorola was in the Google's hands every phone was updated but things has changed after lenovo bought moto
btw lmao my old galaxy tab 2 had more updates than this motorola (4.0>4.1>4.2)
I'm really upset. I have XT1524 European model and it only had a Wifi patch, it wasn't even an update. I only bought Motorola because of updates, if the list is not updated I'm never going to have Motorola again. There's a lot of cheaper and better alternatives.

As the title says, Motorola has officially announced which of its smartphones will be getting the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update. The list isn't small, but it does have some notable omissions, so here it is:
2015 Moto X Pure Edition (3rd gen)
2015 Moto X Style (3rd gen)
2015 Moto X Play
2015 Moto G (3rd gen)
2014 Moto X Pure Edition in the US (2nd gen)

It's really sad that stupid lenovo will phase out the Motorola brand. What do you think guys?
http://www.androidauthority.com/motorola-is-going-away-says-lenovo-666417/
why sell it google? you were supposed to save Moto not leave it in darkness
It's really shocking ,, although it wldnt have mattered more ,bcoz what's in a name after all but to my and others Moto Fans full disaapointement ,They have clearly said in their statement from 2016 there will not be low to mid devices by Moto , those will be replaced by Lenovo Vibe series ,.
Thats means We are the owners of pretty last G and E series . Lenovo Vibe will be with their crap Lenovo UI ,, yesterday had a chance to play with Lenonvo K3 note ,, what a crap that device is , hangs like anything,15 min use and device start getting warm,and Ui is plain ugly and totally jerking ass even its hardware on par with G . 15 min usage and I started hating that device . It's really foolish if those G and E series will be kiled for Lenovo Vibe ,,
Moto name will be used for premium X series and tht wld be not more than 2 years after that Moto will also go and only Lenonvo will left.
This is transitioning phase ,they want to make it clear that they will replace Moto by Lenovo ,so they taking small steps in that direction ..
So yes Moto is already gone in mid to low and ,for premium X ,2 years max, after seeing all this .
Lenovo u r [email protected]##[email protected]###
Lenovo higher-ups announced that their company, which has owned Motorola since 2014, will be phasing out the brand name.
This doesn’t mean that the Moto line is dead, however. Moto smartphones will still be in production in the coming years, complete with their familiar M-brand symbol. However, these devices will also have Lenovo’s branding and iconography.

Google bought Motorola with a strategy. With the acquisition, Google also got all the patents that Motorola had filed since the beginning. And when they sold Motorola to Lenovo, Google kept the patents and now they license them to Lenovo, and rest manufacturers. Google is smart and cunning

Its not as simple as that,,,There willnot be G and E series anymore ,, Moto will be used for X only "for the time being ". Lenovo earlier said they will handle their mobile division to Motorola ,, months later they are giving Motorola mobile division to their own.
This is corporate transition phase , it will take time but eventually it will be complete. Wait for 1 more year ,u will not see left Moto logo also

Well, look at the Nokia. It must be dead after the agreement with MS, but more and more news point that Nokia will recover, and produce their own trademark phones.
This might happen with Motorola.
Isn't it ironic?

Motorola is legacy and tradition
keeping Brand Motorola intact and combining lenovo mobile Division under Motorola Brand would be the better Option for Lenovo than killing Motorola

Moto G is Snapdragon 400, quite good for even today standards. The bad thing was the 1GiB RAM on Moto G 2014, that is whats limiting it's potential.

Moto Devices will soon be a Legacy. Moto was good when it was with Google and made a Nexus too .
---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------
The older devices like MOTO G1 , MOTO G2 , MOTO E1 will soon lose support and development from the Motorola Devs . Then it is us who have to develop and update it to keep it up-to-date.
Some official news from Moto today, not good for us... from Moto's Official Blog
Here’s the full list of our smartphones that will be getting Nougat:
Moto G (4th Gen)
Moto G Plus (4th Gen)
Moto G Play (4th Gen)
Moto X Pure Edition (3rd Gen)
Moto X Style
Moto X Play
Moto X Force
Droid Turbo 2
Droid Maxx 2

Moto G 2015 and Moto G Turbo are noticeably missing from the list... as well as all E models. A real let down.
Good thing we have great developers already working it for us.
With even more job cuts recently, I was beginning to suspect this would happen. There are now too many variations of handsets and too few engineers. At-least that's how it seems from the outside.
The worst part is that very little additional effort should be required to make an Osprey / Merlin release - considering Moto G Play (4th Gen) is near identical hardware.
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=7247&idPhone2=8104
Disappointing. A big reason why I chose this phone was Motorola's track record from previous generations (which admittedly was showing signs of breakdown even then). Doesn't really matter anymore now that I have a custom rom though...

Okay, all problems aside, let's assume that they do indeed make an update to Nougat. How long would it take to develop with the already diminished amount of developers? The Marshmallow update took around 4 months if I'm not mistaken, and that was before a wave of lay-offs.
But it was clearly written when the turbo was launched...that it will get update upto android N....
This is extremely disappointing...i will never buy a moto phone again.
Going to **** at their Twitter account..
mmm .. why are they doing like Samsung
at this rate, no one will like Moto in india (as we have so many powerful competitors )
they cant make sales go up unless given us good support to old phones, the only reason i am proud of MotoDevices is that the fact it delivered fast updates till now..
hands down to Moto
When i purchased a Moto G3,my main focus was on getting software updates,thanks to the near stock Android experience.I overlooked many of the competitors priced more affordably,had bigger displays with better resolution and had more powerful processors and better battery life.I was only disappointed to see that it is to be supported for only one Android version update that is to marshmallow and no Nougat even if the hardware supports(seeing how well it runs on Nougat roms thanks to the developers).I think next time I should consider buying a phone with good hardware,eg. Redmi Note 3 and then flash a ROM in it to get the best of both worlds.
Even Redmi Note 3 has good developer support and has been successfully running Nougat 7.0.Heavily disappointed by LenovoMoto.
Now no confusion about SoC becoz same SoC phone getting Nougat. Really disappointed with Motorola about Moto g3. Now Motorola is not Motorola its Lenovo
Guys I was reading online, It is likely that the Moto G3 will also get the update. The problem is that this will only happen later, close to january.
there is still suspense on g3. maybe or not we got exciting news like last year g2 got MM update after a very long announcement(I think in December)
Probably the biggest reason osprey doesn't get N is because the chipset does not support Vulkan or openGL3.1 (like the 800 and 801 devices).
Merlin is the worst handset I received from Moto... No official remade or custom ROMs...
Waiting for 17th Oct for Moto Z Play release or get an IPhone at least its guranteed 4 years support...

I'm sure you are correct in that Vulkan / openGL3.1 is a key factor. However, to drop the upgrade for Moto G Play (4th Gen) so soon would cause a lot of bad media coverage.
Osprey / Merlin can run Stock Motorola Nougat - they even have a faster chipset - but it just looks like they had to draw a line somewhere on the list of devices to support.
I am wondering about the Motorola Moto E (3rd gen) being released only in September 2016. Perhaps because it has a limited market (Mediatek chipset main cause of not updating?) - the amount of protesting users will be very limited. I still expect some bad press over that decision.

From my perspective the majority of the development work is already done. However you have to consider the time and effort to trial / test the firmware running on Osprey / Merlin and then possibly resolving some small issues.

Even tho we have custom roms, it kinda stinks. I'm disappointed, for a device only one year old. A shame. It seems like no OEM cares about updates, and quite frankly, why should they? They're not making any money from releasing software updates, as Google is the one reaping the profits with their ads. Ugh.
Am I the only who it thinks that they will update it? The same occurred with the Moto E and marshmallow.

Motorola recently announced that it will be updating the G4 Plus to Android Or as well. But it also stated that it usually updates the G line to only one major Android version. Does this mean that the they'll hang the G5 Plus at Oreo? Or does the marketing material say otherwise, and we could use it to get P for us as well?

Bro lets just see how much time does it time takes for moto (lenovo) to give us official Android O update:cyclops:
till december we will get oren and forget about P...that s for sure as of now,according to the above statement from moto!
I read on Lenovo forum a comment from Motorola employee that they have policy of one major os update in Moto G line. So android P for G5 is unlikely.
G4 plus is getting Oreo because Motorola advertised (by mistake, as they say now) it like that at the time of G4 release
1 major update policy for Moto G line is lies!
The original Moto G got updated from Jellybean to Kikat and Lollipop
The 2nd gen Moto G for updated from Kikat to Lollipop and Marshmallow
So? That was in the past.
I have hope in getting Android P in MoTo G5 PLUS
All hope is in us. I'm afraid that we will have to fight on social media and forums (Lenovo profiles, forums, etc.) to get Android P in future.
I wouldn't be surprised if we never see Android p on g5 through Lenovo. My Moto X Pure Edition (Clark) was promised nougat for a long time and when I switched to g5 a few weeks ago I still hadn't received the OTA

You guys are forgetting that Lenovo owns Motorola
And the fact that they have released many useless phones in short span
Shows that they are not going put in the effort
And update every budget phone till 1 next major update

If Lenovo's history continues... later this year (November or December) at the earliest, possibly beginning of next year.
Remember, even they don't even have Nougat out to all models that are getting yet... US users with the Moto X Pure are still waiting and that was a flagship for like 16 months.
Why do you want Oreo so much anyway? I don't see anything worthy waiting
