Moto G5S Plus Oreo Update Date and More – Review

Well, Motorola is always among one of the quickest Android OEMs in order to release the major Android OS update. We expect the record in order to remain unchallenged with Oreo rollout too, along with their flagship device. The Moto Z2 Force, expected to become one of the first Android devices in order to get an Android 8.0 OTA.

Well, the Moto G5S and G5S Plus, for whom Motorola specifically confirmed Oreo rollout to happen soon are in the line too. However, the flagship device in the Z2 Force should take center stage in the first rollout of 8.0 from Motorola.

Motorola Android 8.0 update list

We would actually not be surprised to see Motorola get a place in a list of the first three Android OEMs in order to release the Oreo update. Maybe their use of stock UI helps them too, but it’s more so since they care about OS updates.

Moto Z2 Force Oreo update

Sprint was actually the last of the four major U.S. carriers in order to roll out Android Oreo to the Moto Z2 Force. It all started along with Verizon back in 2017 and T-Mobile was not far behind. After close to two months of waiting actually, AT&T finally basically rolled out Android 8.0 Oreo to the Moto Z2 Force. The update basically came with software version OCX27.109-47 and also installed the latest security patches.

In spite of the long wait, Sprint users of the Moto Z2 Force finally got the Oreo dessert, which came along with software version OCX27.109-48, and installed February’s security patches as well.

Moto Z and Moto Z Force Oreo update

Motorola has also been testing Android Oreo on the Moto Z for months now. The first soak test was reported back in December 2017 and also a second rolled out in February 2018 too.

The wait is over now because we can now confirm that Moto Z users, at least in Brazil, can also get their phones to Android Oreo through an OTA update. The update also started rolling out in Europe on April 17, that is followed by Canada and the U.S. on April 21 and May 17, respectively.

Moto Z2 Play update

It seems like the Android Oreo update has commenced in Europe, where some of its users of the Moto Z2 Play are reporting to have received the new OS over the air actually. This is indeed what we predicted, that the update will spread from South America to Europe even before the end of this month.

The update also installs software version OPS27.76-12-25, which also brings the latest Android security patches for the month of April 2018 as well. Motorola has also confirmed that they are now rolling out Oreo for the Z2 Play handsets in Brazil actually. Well, more regions would also be covered in the next few weeks, so that the users in India, Europe, too. They can also expect the Android 8.0 update in order to hit their devices before the end of April 2018 actually.

Moto Z Play update

Motorola had also been expected to update the Moto Z Play to Android Oreo somewhere this Q2 2018 and indeed. The company has now delivered through commencing the rollout in India as well. The first instance of Moto Z Play and also Oreo came back in 2017 actually, where the phone was basically reported to be testing the OS in Brazil, however, contrary to the expectation, the first stable release has been spotted in India as well.

Still, that is not much of our concern here actually. Well, what matters the most is that the Moto Z Play is getting Oreo and that sooner or later, and each and every unit out there will be running Oreo.
