About a month ago, Motorola sent soak test invites in the US for the Android 7.0 Nougat update for the Moto X Pure Edition phablet. This handset is available in Europe and other areas as Moto X Style. Now, the new firmware is finally rolling out to the Moto X Pure Edition phablets in the US.

According to the official support page, this update comes with the usual new features that can be noticed when upgrading from Marshmallow to Nougat, such as:

multi-window support
quick switch between apps
improved Doze mode
direct reply to messages from notifications
bundled notifications and notification controls
enhanced Quick Settings
new and updated emojis
variable text to speech
call screening
improved multi-language support

The support page does not offer any details on the update's version number or size, but such packages usually have around 1.5 GB, so downloading the new firmware might take some time. The update rolls out in stages via OTA, so some users might have to wait for a few days or try to check manually instead of waiting for the notification to show up.
