I've checked that webpage regularly, and they update it at least twice a month. And as a two year customer of Koodo, I can assure you that those dates are accurate. May be different for unlocked versions, as you said. Webpage accuracy still stands.

Get root bud.just for xposed modules and adaway.you will get even more battery life and you will not miss nougat.trust me.it's worthy.no custom roms,just xposed with greenify and cosmetich modules( ex. flat modules,N-ify,pixel navigation bar ecc).reduce dpi to 400,install a thinner font with ifont,nova launcher and you are good to go.The phone looks neat and no annoying ads.When nougat will come it'will have bugs for sure and will not have root immediately,that means ads everywhere,in-apps,in the browser...

You'll probably get root with Nougat. Nougat's been available for some time on Moto Z, and I'm sure it'll be same root process (though the TWRP file might be device-specific).

No Xposed for Nougat yet. Looks like Xposed won't be as needed for Nougat, since Doze is improved, and most of the screenshots mimic Nougat's UI. Granted Xposed plus an alternative launcher allow more tweaks, but Nougat allows changing DPI out of the box.

I'm still using my Moto X Play, gonna get the Nougat update sooner. My Z Play is collecting dust until the Nougat update (no point in migrating handsets since my x play will get nougat sooner, then having to root and setup the Z play twice).

I'm also hoping that in March, we'll get bumped to Nougat 7.1.1. I'm sure most of us got the Z Play as a cost-effective substitute for the Pixel. I'm waiting for Nougat to start using my Z Play, just glad that I got it at a great price that I'm in no rush to use it...Until it gets Nougat.

Nougat for the unlocked Z in Feb and the Z Play in March, apparently?

So, now there's this: https://www.androidcentral.com/motorola-releasing-nougat-unlocked-moto-z-early-feb-moto-z-play-march

:eek:

That Z Play release date (MARCH!!!) is entirely out of step with Motorola Germany's information, which says 'late January'. We know the Z Play went through certification in December, so there's no logic to them waiting another three months to release Nougat. Please tell me I'm right!!
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] slainer68:

You do realise that their source is the Android Central article which has been posted a few posts back? So, again, this is about the US variants of the devices.

As long as no one from Motorola Europe invalidates what Moto Germany said about a January release, there's no reason to think the schedule has changed. The rest of the world should follow a similar schedule for Nougat release apart from the US where it's been confirmed that there would be delays (probably because of Verizon).

The thing is that if Nougat is really arriving for the end of the month for EU like Moto Germany was saying, there would already be some leak of the beta versions on the Internet right? So I think that unfortunately we will have to wait some more weeks.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] DadOudidOuda:
Not necessarily. A lot of devices receiving Nougat lately didn't have a beta program or leaks. Most OEMs have internal testing.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] ph4te:
So, I did not want to rely on fake news (Trump reference unintended) and I contacted the Motorola Support directly. They confirmed that the Nougat update for Europre (RETEU distribution channel) has already been deployed and everyone's phones should get Nougat by the end of January.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] xxBrun0xx:
Until we see a screenshot of a Moto Z play with nougat, I'm calling bull****. Guessing the customer service rep thought you were asking about the Z proper. I love my Z Play, but really wish it had a more unique name, considering it shares almost nothing with the Moto Z/Force.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] ph4te:
You may be right, but since the regular Z has been updated already AFAIK (at least in Europe, not sure about the US, here in the EU there is no carrier-exclusive version), I'm guessing that the customer service guy had it correct. Anyway, since I'm in possession of the European unlocked GSM version, I will provide the screenshot as soon as I get the update.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] khakala:
Update nougat

FYI - I have had both phones RETEU versions and my Moto Z already received two weeks ago nougat update. Now i have only Z Play left and i hope January news is correct. Also Moto Deutschland says on Twitter that Z Play will receive nougat update by the end of January.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] bigbamboo5:
I think we should be a little careful with our predictions. Many on here are in Europe and most of them are going to be unlocked. Verizon isn't a carrier here and their exclusive US deal shouldn't impact on the Nougat release date in Europe, so we can focus more on Moto Germany's announcement that Play owners will get Nougat at the end of this month. Americans will have to wait longer. :)

You'll definitely get Nougat, along with the rest of us. If Verizon doesn't operate in your country, then their exclusive window wouldn't apply anyway.

I can't be certain, but there is no logic to countries which don't have a Verizon agreement to hold back a Nougat release. It seems much more likely that the 'end of January' Moto Germany promise will be fulfilled (outside of countries in which Verizon operates, which will unfortunately have to wait for March). :)

Again, it sounds like this is about the American models. But it may be wishful thinking.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] bigbamboo5:
I don't think they would release Nougat in Europe in January (as per the Moto Germany announcement) and wait until March to do that in the US. Even if they were able to do that (my guess is 'yes') it wouldn't be great PR for Moto/Lenovo.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] microcox:
I agree it wouldn't be good PR, but it wouldn't be the first time that their Verizon agreements lead to strange things.

One possibility is that they have a specific team for US development, and that team has to manage the Verizon models before the unlocked ones. Again, wishful thinking.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] bigbamboo5:
Well, it's very possible - and that would give credence to the Moto Germany announcement. My Play is working well though, so I'm okay with waiting until March for Nougat, but if I'm waiting that long I really want 7.1.1. (Just to be clear: I'm pretty sure Moto aren't focused on what I really want.) :)
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] DadOudidOuda:
Yet again, the US variants and International variants don't have the same update schedule (see the Nougat update for the Moto Z if you have any doubts).
