Motorola announced earlier in June that the company was excited to reveal Android 7.1.1 Nougat update for the Moto X Play but it is yet to roll out the software. The delay could leave the owners of the device disappointed. In fact, it is strange that the company kept the roll out of the OS on hold even days after announcing its update.
"We are excited to announce a new software update for Moto X Play. This update brings important improvements to your phone," wrote Motorola in its blog with the headline "Moto X Play- Android 7.1.1 Software Update" more than two weeks ago.
