Last month during a solar eclipse, Google officially announced that Android 8.0 is called Oreo, also saying that the update will come to devices from HTC, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, and more. HTC and Sony have both confirmed which of their devices will get Oreo, and now it's Motorola's turn.
The Lenovo-owned company says that the following 12 phones will receive the update, beginning this fall:
moto z
moto z Droid
moto z Force Droid
moto z Play
moto z Play Droid
moto z2 Play
moto z2 Force Edition
moto x4
moto g5
moto g5 Plus
moto g5S
moto g5S Plus
The oldest phone on the list is the Moto Z, which launched in June, 2016. This means that there's currently a 15-month support window for higher-end handsets, while newer devices like the Moto E4 and E4 Plus won't get upgraded at all.
As of three days ago when Google published its monthly usage report, 15.8% of Google Play devices are on Nougat, and Oreo is still on less than 0.1%. This will likely change within the next few months, with new phones arriving with the OS, and updates rolling out.
