Today I received an update for the Motorola Notification app in the play store. Here's the Changelog - Added support for Android 8.0
So the Motorola Notification App for the Moto G5s Plus has got support for android Oreo so this implies that the Android Oreo update is around the corner.
Fingers Crossed.
Also could anyone please tell me how to upload a photo in a thread like this from device's gallery.
Because I want to upload screenshot in these types of threads.
Hello,
I suppose you're right.
If you use Google Drive then you can share the image link.
I updated it too.

I got that too, but other moto devices may use that app, and they could hit 8.0 first.

Here is my thought -
The Moto G5s Plus and the Moto X4 has the same camera app installed(play store) but they differ in features. Like initially the X4 had a spot color feature but the G5s Plus was not having it but they both had the same camera app installed.
So I think Motorola releases different versions of their apps for different phones.
Same applies to the notification app.

Notifications, treble (possibly), security improvements.
Thats doesnt means that Moto G5S Plus is getting Oreo update for your device.. its Moto's App.. and it will be common for all moto phones.
Is is still "coming soon"? lol! It was "this fall" [sic] ...uh...was it really six months ago? yep - six months to the day next wednesday (https://blog.motorola.com/2017/09/14/say-hello-android-oreo/) OnePlus5 users got theirs in january. Perhaps they meant "fall" 2018? Perhaps they've just given up.

While I am skeptical of companies following through with updates, I do believe this phone will get Oreo. However, remember when the Moto X Style/Play was to get Nougat? It took 2 years...They eventually got it, but way way late.
Well after this news https://www.xda-developers.com/motorola-lays-off-half-chicago-workforce/#disqus_thread
I'm not hoping for much of an update anytime soon. Not saying this will affect the update, but it doesn't look promising

I just updated KitKat to 4.4.3 a few weeks back. Is there really already a 4.4.4 update? I saw this here, but I couldn't tell if 4.4.4 is intended for the Moto X or not.
The first few paragraphs of that link provide you with all the info you asked
Sent from my XT1060
Looks like the article was just mentioning the devices that got 4.4.3. I doubt carriers are going to go through the trouble of testing and rolling out 4.4.4 for the X if they've already put out 4.4.3. I think that's why they only confirmed the GPe Moto G for 4.4.4. Just my guess.
Does anyone know if the SSL bug got fixed in our 4.4.3?

Well, yes and no. I still can't figure out if there's going to be a 4.4.4 for the Moto X. No big deal, apparently, but I'd like to know. If I were hit by a bus tomorrow, for instance, I'd hate to leave this earth without having first gotten the latest Android update for my phone.:cyclops:

Its written Indian users because our phones are not bound by any carrier . So we receive our updates from Motorola directly. For other carrier based phones it depends on the carriers and not Motorola.
Also its little weird that Moto E is getting the update before X, Since X being the flagship phone :/

Guess that updating Moto G and E prior Mot X is rather a technical issue than question of a privilege. Moto X with its 8 core computing system needs much more adaptation than other ones, which based mostly on the plain AOSP . That's also the reason why is so difficult to mod a useful custom ROM for Moto X with full stock functionality.
Apparently lollipop is starting to roll out this week for the first generation Moto X. Has anybody received this update yet?

All the other searches that I found about lollipop for the Moto X are roms. I didn't find any about official over the air update. You could have maybe sent me a link at least
In the news, the most recent 5.1 OTA update was for the Moto G Google Play Edition. I also an article that said they were rolling out 5.1 for the moto X, but it was misleading; it came from Realty Today, so I find it understandable if they are not in the forefront of android news.

Get a nexus then. I'd much rather Motorola wait until lollipop is stable than have what apple did which was roll out horrible buggy 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 releases.

OTA update
There are two OTA updates for Moto G5s Plus released by the Google but Motorola has not shared with its customers. The pain is that Moto does not share frequent security patches updates. They have to start stepping forward to this. They need to be customer minded now or they will loose customers slowly away. I am one of them.
Even my Moto G4+ got the September patch yesterday. There is none so far for this one. Loving the phone nonetheless.
However Motorola does need to commit to regular software and patch updates.

Google only releases the updates for its own devices(Pixel and Nexus). All other manufacturers develop the ROMs and their updates for their devices on their own and Google just certifies them after which they can be released via OTA.
Hi Guys!
Recently Motorola released release notes for Android 8.1 for Moto G5s Plus.
But unfortunately Motorola has removed that release note from their website. And I don't know why.
Looks like Motorola had accidently released those notes.

It's possible this is a cheap chinese company doing what cheap chinese companies do - cut corners at every turn to make a profit from something somebody else designed; in this case motorola branded phones running android. We knew the upgrade process was an afterthought for them, and now we know they can't handle PR/marketing related functions properly either. They're probably oblivious to the fact that people are disappointed. "What's the problem? We get a request for information about oreo and we point you at the now nine month old web page which says "yes, you'll get oreo" - what more do you want?".
Yes, look this now.

By the looks of it. We might have to wait longer for Android Oreo to be released for our precious Moto G5S plus. It is unfortunate because I really love Motorola's phones. They have been lacking it when it comes down to the new Android operating systems.
Take a look at this chat, they're not even giving proper responses.
The link he had mentioned is of APRIL'S Security Update
New update comes out today OTA (reteu). It's 8.0.0 with 07/2018 patch. Nothing else.
Damn.. I was expecting it to be Android 8.1 + June/July security patch just like Moto X4 ( non Android One version ) received few days ago. But well.. better than nothing.

This is Lenovo (Moto) , it updates Mid range phones more than Flagships. if i see Android P coming to Moto G5/S/S+ or even Moto Z2 play is ahead in terms of updates (like it was already running June/July patch) its not a new thing for me
Sent from my Moto Z2 Force using XDA Labs
No no, Z serie get always 2 major releases. I think that's because we directly get android P (maybe first after Z3?) And an another reason is how many devices could sold in a time. Z2 Force maybe not so good as the cheap ones
Don't know the plans, but maybe Z2 Play get Android 8.1 as last update and the better Z2 Force Android 9.0, because it's the most expencive device. We will see

Hope so..but i am using moto since 2013 and always moto have done same thing eg. Only 1 major upgrade to G2,G3 but 2 major upgrade for Moto G4+ (Oreo for 2016 phone!);. Moto X Force (35K INR)got update till Android 7.0 , no VoLTE enabled but Moto X Play (17K INR) got Android 7.1.1 + VoLTE
The think is about their 2 major OS relases. Lets take our eg.(India) Moto Z2 Force was released in Feb2018 with Android O while it's been a available from 2017 with Android 7.1.
Now i cant understand will moto update this to P or Q .
Sent from my Moto Z2 Force using XDA Labs
Z2 Force will definitely get P. It would be a HUGE mistake and disrespect for the "high end consumers" if Lenovo don't update it.
Probably we're going to skip 8.1 and go straight to 9.0.
That way they keep their promise of 2 Android's version update.
But I doubt that we will get Android Q.

So a good phone like this with better specs. But gets nothing new or exciting. But the lower end phones gets all the glory.. I think Moto is backwards in that aspect.. Were as other like Samsung, LG, HTC will give better upgrades to higher end phones, then they will the lower to mid range ones.. I would also like to see more rom options for this phone. But hey it is what it is.. This is why I have only rooted, and debloated my phone.. Nothing to see here LOL.

This phone isn't so expensive anymore. Costs at the moment around 280€, so it's cheaper than Moto G6 Plus. Maybe that's why we get no android 8.1 or anything new. But android P we will get for sure. Or we can see it so, that we have a most stable phone. And new features maybe just for phones with good sales figures. Z2 Force is maybe not a box-office hit
And yes, I have paid more for this phone, too. But that's not the point, right?

You need to go back to stock. There is a thread for it. I'm not at my computer now so I can't link to it but look and you'll find it very easy to find. Then you will have to reboot again. You do not need to relock the bootloader

It Dosent depend on the current value , after months the Moto G6plus will be more cheaper than this. Also the Box price of this is much higher than Moto G6Plus and considering its a high end phone.
In India its still at ₹34999 and Moto Z (2016) at ₹29990.
Moto only considers the sale of the phone not the price segment.
