If the Moto G4 play running the same chipsets as the Moto e 2015,gets the official 7.0 update from Motorola then following could happen:-
Some generous developers out there will try to port the official stock ROM from the harpia to our surnia , hence making our device to get "identity crisis" like ROM which was seen some time ago for the devices like the original Moto g ported from Moto g2.
It will be awesome
No chance. It not got 6.0.1 update. Moto g 3 runs on same chipset as moto e 2015 4g. G3 got 6.0.1 but e2 not.

Even for now g3 isn't getting stock 7.0
The Moto G4 Play has a Snapdragon 400, and this phone is a 410. So no, it is not possible.
Edit: maybe I'm wrong. Must be a typo on the G4 Play XDA thread, it says 400, but specs elsewhere say 410.
If it does get N and someone finds the firmware, I can see what I can do with it. I ported a Moto G 2015 mm stock, but the camera doesn't work at all.

I doubt it has a 400. That's what the first gen Moto G had.
GSM arena has the g4 play listed with a 410

it's surely possible!

Motorola likes sticking a phone to quite a unique Android version no. And so I think they didn't update e2 4G to 6.0.1 plus that minimal update doesn't bring too much of changes!
Look guys this is seriously possible!
You might find it the desicions done by Motorola regarding the Android update programme impossible to believe but believe me; even if they update a single 410 chip based device then it's a must for sure that the our wonderful family of developers will surely try to port the best of Moto's software even to our ignored devices!

India Soak test available here Link .I think it should be the same for Asia

The 5.1 thread I see is for GPE devices..This is for non-gpe devices most of which are dual sim .

Guys, this is getting worst every time... Just wait for that update to come! I started to see my Moto G as what it actually is: a phone! Another Android version won't do your phone better... Just grab a ROM if you want something better than stock firmware... Because I bet when the OTA comes, you will get bored of it and you will go again to CM12.1, won't you?
So this thread does not make much sense here...
Going by that statement there are many such threads which don't make sense ..It would be interesting to see if Motorola offers support for slightly older devices given that the firmware is almost pure android... Besides cm 12 doesn't seem to work well with dual Sim . Let's watch for few weeks and see how things pan out.

Cool, another update rumor thread. Just what was missing on XDA...
yes, give us 5.1!
I got the xt1032-en-GB. Anybody who got their update for that one yet? For 5.0 there was a thread showing the OTA release status for all regional versions, it'd be great to have something like this as well for this release. I tapped the "check for updates" button a couple of times today, but it gave me an error saying that it cannot check for updates right now.
Whoever says that the Moto G community on XDA is the worst... it's the opposite... and we deserve our updates btw, I disagree with the statement saying that an update won't do our phones any better...after that catastrophic, bug-infested Android 5.0 release (which is not Motorola's fault) any update is more than welcome. Kitkat was supposed to make phones with low specs speedy due to reduced resource usage, so it's quite amusing that everybody keeps reporting that their phones slowed down on all post-jellybean releases. Let's see if this is finally changing again with this release - ART was supposed to speed everything up again, isn't it? (oh and CM is not an alternative...it's the Duke Nukem Forever of Android ROMs, at least on this phone (since I never tested it on any others); I've tried that self proclaimed bug-free official Moto G CM a year ago which was developed by that guy who left, but unfortunately it was a crash-prone mess)
The Costum ROMs are not better at all when it ciomes to bugs and performance and not say memory management. Motorola stock firmware with Android 5.0.2 is good with memory leak fixed the system has just 125 MB consumed and a free of 600 MB vs Costum ROM or GPE 300 MB consumed by sysem and 300 MB Free.If Motorola release Android 5.1.1 with the memory leak and memory management fixed like 5.0.2 then I would be the best Android version for Moto G till then the GPe version with xpirt mod pack is the best as I tested with battery life and performance.
and yes that memory leak is still not fixed in the AOSP branch of Android 5.1.1
I just hope that Motorola will release soon Android 5.1 not when Google is releasing Android M.
The soak test for 5.1 has begun, so expect in a while.

No Idea about Moto G 1 gen.
But in India the Moto E 1 gen. gets 5.1.

David Schuster, Motorola's Senior Director of Software Management, had recently stated on his Google+ account that most of the company's devices would skip the 5.0 update and instead jump directly to 5.1 Lollipop. According to David, the 2013 Moto X, the 2013 Moto G, the 4G Moto G and the Moto E would all be updated directly to Android 5.1 Lollipop instead of getting 5.0 first

I've got a uk 1039 and recieved the update this morning to 5.1.
are there still people who have the xt1032 or has it become smth exotic by now? I'm still waiting for the update on mine (8GB, UK version). Getting the impression that lenovo has released too many different variants of this phone
Its rather strange . 5.1.1 is a minor update from 5.1 ,and it was released few weeks after 5.1 , with few more bug fixes . Wondering why motorola didnt jump straight to 5.1.1 for MotoG..
That happens; there were a lot of devices who have been updated to 5.0.1 even though 5.0.2 or later was already out. Including Nexus devices.
So where is 5.1 for the XT1032 now?!

There is no definitive answer if we will get it or not.
"I see a lot of questions about when/if Moto G (1st Gen) will be getting updated to 5.1. The answer is yes... we are working on it. I know you guys want dates but we have run into a few complications so as soon as timing becomes a little more clear I will post an update.
UPDATE: I will have more info on Moto E (1st Gen) next week.... "

I was wondering whether the Moto G4 single sim variant (XT1625) will receive the upcoming official Cyanogenmod 14? I assume that it should since all its predecessors received cm13.
Yes. Any bootloader unlockable device technically has the capabilities of being updated to CM14. The main issue is not the device, but the community itself. If there are developers willing to spend the time to work on making a working ROM then it will happen (sometimes even before the OS officially releases on that device.) The Nexus 4, a device released in 2012, has passable Nougat builds as we speak. As you said, even the 1st gen Moto G has Marshmallow CM13 builds even though it was never meant to run it. So, just wait a while, it'll happen.
i'm happy to use my 11yo son's xt1625 with unlocked bootloader as a guinea pig.
Hello everyone, I know that is something almost impossible but I have tried to launch a petition to motorola / lenovo to ensure that releases least marshmallow on the fantastic moto g 2013, all you have to do is a little sign at this link:
thanks in advance to all those who will participate.
p.s. sorry for my bad english
If u would flash a custom ROM u could enjoy the taste of nougat!!!
Moto did treat Falcon very well compared to how other OEMs behave.
Jelly Bean (4.3) - KitKat (4.4.2) - KitKat (4.4.4) - Lollipop (5.0.1) - Lollipop (5.1)
And there already is a Stock Motorola Marshmallow ROM available:
[ROM][FALCON][6.0][STOCK] Identity Crisis 6
Oh man..you're still stuck with petitions while Motorola has been eaten by Lenovo..
I understand the initial hesitation for unlocking bootloader and flashing a custom rom. It is assumed that custom roms will never be as stable as stock roms and it will keep rebooting,apps crashing..and what not. .
Listen man, moto g 2013 is history long back. If you want marshmallow,unlock bootloader first, unlocking the bootloader of motorola had been one of the easiest and it has great developers. There are plenty of marshmallow roms and after I write this post, I am going to download the updated Nougat rom by @srisurya95. I have been using it since 28 Sep and its smooth,stable, never had a single random reboot or any wild battery drain. Enter the world of custom roms and forget the official support. Here's the link to the rom.

IMO moto g 2103 is the only phone which got the best update from the manufacture till date
Enough update we got already.....
Well...

People launch petitions for literally anything these days.
We all know that the Moto G4 Play, has a 64bit processor, which currently runs the system in 32bit mode. Will the device have enough power to run Android Nougat (or Marshmallow) in 64bit? Would you gain more performance? I think it has enough RAM.
Well all Moto products have this issue. It can only be fixed by Moto devs(though i read that some xda devs were able to do so but thats not official and some bugs are still there.) Moto has becoming quite disappointing since they released the update for N in Jan of 2018, after 1 and half year of N, and that to only brazil and some other countries. Lol, i dont know what are they trying to achieve with this.

I think if the devs who developed the 64-bit version for g4 (Athene) try, they may be able to create a stable kernel and ROM, but there are few devs for harpia
What's the best, easiest way to upgrade manually from Android 7.0 to Oreo 8.1? I'm not getting OTG with 7.0, so I need to try something else without having to buy a new phone. I just spent money to have the charging port fixed, don't want to switch phones again, but need this feature. Thanks!

Which Kinzie phone do you have, Moto X Force or Droid Turbo 2?
You can root the Moto X force and there are some custom roms but not Oreo 8.1, I don't think. You cannot root Droid Turbo 2 at all.
Neither phone got past Nougat for stock firmware.

Oh Dang!! I have the Droid Turbo 2. So when I'm on YouTube and they're showing those videos that say "How to upgrade ANY Android phone to Oreo 8.1" they're not talking about DT2? What would happen if I tried it? Has anyone done it? Just curious. I'm thinking about getting a Moto G5 Plus if I can't upgrade. This one DEFINITELY has 8.1, correct?

No, if the phone can't be rooted (2015 "Kinzie" Droid Turbo 2) you can only use stock firmware.
If the phone can be rooted (2015 "Kinzie" Moto X Force), you're still dependent on what devs can and will do. The devs with the kernel skills needed to adapt last Kinzie Nougat stock kernel to run on Oreo 8.1 - - which then allows ROMs to be ported - - may wish to spend time on other devices.
The 2014 "Quark" (Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo) all have bootloader unlock and root, and they have a dev with those skills. So they have 8.1 ROMs, whikethr 2015 Kinzie phones do not.

All the QUARK ROMS are compatible with all Quarks.
