Motorola is now rolling out the Android eight.1 Oreo replaces the Moto G4 Plus. The enterprise introduced the deployment in a current publish on its U.S. Support website (via XDA), more than sixteen months after confirming Oreo for the handset.
The replace offers the December 2018 protection patches together with expected Oreo goodness like adaptive icons, notification dots, and photograph-in-photograph mode (and it’s been a while because I typed that!).

Suppose you haven’t been notified approximately the update for your handset already; head to your telephone’s settings menu and hit About phone > System Updates to see if it’s to be had. It’s unlikely to hit all devices right now, so you can also have to be affected by a person. But howdy, what’s another week or so after sixteen months, proper?
A win for Motorola?
Motorola never said the replacement might be well-timed. In truth, it warned it might take time. Nevertheless, Motorola has caught the promise made in that September 2017 blog submit. We need to be grateful.
We ought to say Motorola has to be counseled for supporting a smartphone released in May 2016. The first Google Pixel hadn’t even been announced then. It was a distinctive world. You will battle to find another mid-2016 handset receiving the huge replacement in 2019.
However, you could equally argue the Moto G4 Plus changed into entitled to Android eight.1 Oreo — most effective its 2nd main OS improve besides — and it ought to be some distance earlier. Many Moto G4 Plus owners may have ditched their telephone for a newer model now and are potentially ready for the more current Android Pie replacement. It’s viable that few humans can even advantage from this update now.
In addition, what can also sting is those who’ve different Moto G4 collection telephones like the same old model or the Moto G4 Play, which have up to now best acquired one update from Marshmallow to Nougat. We still don’t understand for sure if both of these can be upgraded. So, allow me to ask where you stand in this: are you glad to peer this replacement arrive now, or is it just a slap in the face? Let me recognize the feedback.
