We are all expectant. We wait like May water for the update to Android 8 Oreo to arrive, but the truth is that everything indicates that we will have to wait. We know that device manufacturers will update most of the latest and greatest devices.
However, and if the forecasts are not twisted, we will have to wait until the end of the year. And in all probability, there will be many who will not receive the honeys of Android 8 Oreo until well into 2018. In any case, today we have good news for Motorola device owners.
And is that the firm has just officially announced which phones will be updated to Android 8 Oreo. Although he has not indicated dates, we already have in our hands the definitive list of equipment that will be able to work with the most recent version of Android. And are next.
Motorola phones that will be updated to Android 8 Oreo
Without any more preambles. These are Motorola mobiles that can run on Android 8 Oreo.
- Motorola Moto G5
- Motorola Moto G5 Plus
- Motorola Moto G5S
- Motorola Moto G5S Plus
- Motorola Moto Z
- Motorola Moto Z Droid
- Motorola Moto Z Force Droid
- Motorola Moto Z2 Force
- Motorola Moto Z Play
- Motorola Moto Z2 Play
It is assumed that the first to update will be the teams that are higher on this list. So in this sense, the Motorola Moto G5, Motorola Moto G5 Plus, Motorola Moto G5S and Motorola Moto G5S Plus could be privileged.
Although Motorola has always been punctual in updating its equipment (especially when it was within Google), now this could change. But for now there is no need to venture: there is not a single date on the calendar.
You can make all the queries you need on the official Motorola website.
The Motorola Moto G4 are left without Android 8 Oreo
They are the exception. The Motorola Moto G4 do not appear in this list. And that they were released in mid-2016. It is very likely that the owners of these devices will be deeply disappointed, since the computers are not more than two years old. Not much less.
In this way, all the teams that are part of the G4 series will continue to operate until the end of their days with Android 7 Nougat. These are the Motorola Moto G4, Motorola Moto G4 Plus and Motorola Moto G4 Play.
What's new in Android 8 Oreo for Motorola mobiles
The update to Android 8 Oreo will bring with it a good number of news. One of the most important, without a doubt, is the Picture in Picture (or Picture in Picture) mode, which allows you to always enjoy a floating window to never lose track of what we were seeing while doing something else.
Notifications for applications will be more customizable, so you can choose which notifications interest you and which others are not. The icons are adaptive, because they have been designed in two different layers. In the notifications we will also notice another improvement, which are the new hierarchies and colors, which will help us better identify what is what.
The autocomplete function is incorporated, until now available, but only in the Chrome browser. We will be able to customize the ringtones and for notifications with our own melodies and we will have the opportunity to postpone notifications. This way, you can indicate if you want to see them again after 15, 30 minutes, 1, 2 hours or later.
We must also highlight the smart selection system. Very useful for addresses, phone numbers and locations, especially when sharing them. The WiFi system will be able to detect if you are at home or not to activate and deactivate. Finally, we want to highlight the option that will limit the operation of apps in the background, in order to save resources and increase the overall performance of the device.
