When the Moto G5 Plus was announced earlier this year at the Mobile World Congress, people were pretty psyched about seeing a budget-friendly device with specs that are more than decent. What we didn’t know is when it will arrive in the US. Now the wondering is over as the device is officially available through various retail channels. For owners of the previous generation Moto G4 Plus, there’s also good news: the Android 7.0 Nougat is rolling out to the unlocked versions in the US.
The Moto G5 Plus has a 5.2-inch 1080p display and is powered by a Snapdragon 625 processor. It runs on near stock Android Nougat already, has a 3,000 mAh battery and is made up of a combination of a metal/plastic body with water repellent nano coating. Camera-wise, it has a 12MP main camera with dual LED flash while the front-facing one has a 5MP shooter. It also has fingerprint sensor as well as the other usual sensors like accelerometer, compass, gyroscope, etc.
Roughly two months after the phased global rollout began, the Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus smartphones have started receiving the Android 7.0 Nougat update in India. Notably, the update that's rolling out in India ships with the November Android Security Patch.
Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus users in India should start seeing a notification for the update, which says "new system software is available!". Users who see this message should select Yes, I'm in, and once the update is downloaded, click on Install Now. Those who haven't received a message should go to Settings > About Phone > System updates to check for availability, and then if an update is available, follow the above process.
The company warns users that the Android 7.0 Nougat update should be downloaded and installed on when the phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network, and only if the phone has more than 50 percent charge. It also warns that the update will take up to 20 minutes to install.
The Android 7.0 Nougat update for the Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus has been detailed comprehensively on the company website, and according to Lenovo, incoming changes include "new multitasking features, more efficient notification controls and improved data saver and battery features."
Moto-specific updates, beyond what Android 7.0 Nougat brings, include a new Moto action called Swipe to shrink the screen. On the Moto G4 Plus, the company has added a new setting to disable and enable locking the screen when the screen is on and you touch the fingerprint sensor. The settings can be accessed from Settings on the app tray, scrolling down to Security, and then tap on the screen lock gear icon.
