Motorola confirms it will update the Moto G4 Plus to Android Oreo

Just a little few days back, Motorola announced the list of Moto devices getting Android 8.0 Oreo update. In a move that disappoints Moto G4 Plus users, Motorola eliminated the 2016 Moto G series from that list.

Additionally, Motorola removed all mentions of Android Oreo from the Moto G4 Plus product page. The page had previously said the device would get Android “versions N and O,” but the O part was removed.

Motorola responded today with the following to their Oreo updates blog post: 

Since the time of posting this, we have learned of some errors in our marketing materials around Android O upgrades for moto g4 Plus. It’s our general practice for the moto g family to get one major OS upgrade per device, so it wasn’t originally planned for Android O. But it’s important to us we keep our promises, so in addition to the N upgrade it has already received, we will be upgrading moto g4 Plus to Android O. Because this is an unplanned upgrade, it will take some time to fit into our schedule, we’ll update our software upgrade page when we have more info.

In other words, Motorola will now update the Moto G4 Plus (Not the Moto G4 or Moto G4 Play) to Android 8.0 Oreo. However, it might take too long for the update to reach the Moto G4 Plus devices. Thoughts?
