Over a year after promising Oreo for the Moto G4 Plus, Motorola is yet to do so
In what may turn out to be another case of corporate deceit, Motorola has failed to deliver on its promise to provide the Moto G4 Plus with Android Oreo, over 16 months after it was called out on its crookery.
Motorola released the Moto G4 Plus back in 2016. The mid-range phone ran on Android Marshmallow out of the box, and Moto advertised it as being eligible for two major updates: Nougat and Oreo. When Oreo was released to the public in August 2017, the company unveiled its Oreo update road map.
The G4 Plus wasn’t on it.
Of course, that only served to stoke the flames of a public outcry, a fiasco that concluded with Motorola promising to send the Oreo update to G4 Plus, like it originally advertised.
Since then, though, users of the G4 Plus are yet to receive any Oreo update. In fact, according to posts by users of that device online, Motorola hasn’t sent any security updates to the G4 Plus since early 2018. There were reports, a few months ago, that the company had begun the soak test for the Oreo update but that is as far as things have gone, and G4 Plus users are yet to get anything concrete.
Send out the G4 Plus’s Oreo update, Moto; we still remember all about this.
