Moto Z officially gets Android Nougat, Daydream VR

As seen on Reddit last week, the updates came by the few to those with the Droid. But soon, they will make their way in waves across all Moto Z and Moto Z Force handsets.

Motorola has just announced that Android 7.0 Nougat is getting its official roll-out this week to the two devices, though we don’t have any specific dates to watch out for. This comes days after the Verizon-exclusive Moto Z Droid and Moto Z Force Droid phones started receiving the update.

Users were able to get grips on the Daydream VR platform and Motorola confirms that every phone will be able to do just as much, putting discussions to rest about whether phones with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset can support it.

Reddit’s getting Android Nougat for Moto Z Droid and Moto Z Force Droid

More Nougaty action in the Motorola family is coming its users ways. More than just the Moto G4, the Moto Z Droid and Moto Z Force Droid are getting an update to Android 7.0.

Two separate threads in the Moto_Z subreddit have shown off both Verizon-exclusive devices with the system update screen in its glory. Unfortunately, unlocked versions are not into the action just yet. But, at least with the Moto Z Force Droid, we do have access to Daydream VR — good for your View headset.

The spread is apparently on, we just hope that unlocked units get their spread on sooner than later.
