Moto Z Play, the modular smartphone from Motorola, will soon receive Android 7.1.1 Nougat update. A Motorola representative confirmed the forthcoming update during a chat session. The chat first spotted by Android Soul confirms the update but there is no timeline yet on when the update will start rolling out.
Moto Z Play was announced in December with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and was consequently upgraded to Android 7.0 Nougat in January. The Android 7.0 Nougat update for Moto Z Play was first introduced in Europe followed by Brazil, India, Canada and the US. It is likely the Android 7.1.1 Nougat update will reach Z Play users in these markets first.
With Android 7.1.1 Nougat update, Moto Z Play will become the first Moto device to get the latest version of Android. The smartphone features a 5.5-inch 1080p display, Snapdragon 625 processor, 3GB RAM and 32GB storage. The device sports a 16MP primary camera and a 5MP front camera.
Moto Z Play's standout feature is the support for MotoMods, which allow users to add a Hasselblad Mod for 10x optical zoom or turn the smartphone into an instant projector. Moto Z Play also comes with a huge 3510mAh battery and the device was announced in India at Rs 24,999.
