Those who own a Motorola device will welcome the news that Moto Deutschland has confirmed that several smartphones will get a taste of Android 7.0 Nougat in December.
On Tuesday, Dec. 6, Motorola's German operations took to its official Twitter page to affirm the dates of the Android 7.0 Nougat software update being rolled out to select devices from the company.
The tweet from Moto Deutschland shares that the much-awaited Android 7.0 Nougat update will make its way to Moto G and Moto Play before Christmas. The Moto Z Play will benefit from the update a month later in January 2017, followed by the Moto X line up and Nexus 6.

Earlier in October, Motorola confirmed via an official blog post that 15 smartphones from the company would be updated to the new Google OS. It had disclosed at the time that Android 7.0 Nougat would be rolled out in Q4 2016 with the Moto Z and the Moto G4 series being the first in line.
Moto Z Play
True to its promise, Motorola pushed out the Android update for the Verizon-exclusive Moto Z Droid and Moto Z Force Droid in November. The rollout of the update for Moto Z started on Dec. 6.
Now the next handsets to receive the Android 7.0 Nougat update in the Moto Z series are the Moto Z Play and its Verizon-variant Moto Z Play Droid. According to a PhoneArena report, the Moto Z series will benefit from the software update on Dec. 16. However, the Moto Z Play is slated to get the update in January based on Moto Germany's tweet.
Moto G4 Series
The Moto G4 series or the fourth gen Moto G phones — composed of the Moto G4, Moto G4 Plus and Moto G4 Play — are slated to get the Android 7.0 Nougat updated before Christmas, which is Dec. 25.
Moto X Series
The Moto Germany tweet does not give an exact date for the Android 7.0 Nougat update's rollout for the Moto X Series — namely the Moto X Style, Moto X Play, Moto X Force and Moto X Pure Edition (3rd Gen). However, the lineup is anticipated to get a taste of Android 7.0 Nougat in early 2017.
Nexus 6
The Nexus 6 is also slated to get the software update in early 2017, alongside the Moto X lineup.
The Android 7.0 Nougat update brings with it an enhanced Doze mode, multi-screen support that enables users to run two apps simultaneously and more. With the much-awaited OS finally making its way to Motorola devices, consumers will soon be able to take advantage of Android Nougat's new features.
