Recently, Motorola rolled out the Android 11 update to the Moto G Pro making it the company’s first device to get the latest version. Today, the company is finally seeding out a new Android update for the 2019 Moto G8 Play but it’s the older Android 10.
Motorola is rolling out a new update for Moto G8 Play with software version QMD30.47-19 in Brazil. Accordingly, it updates the OS to the Android 10. The official Motorola Support page Courtesy of Piunikaweb shows that it has started seeding the update from February 8, 2021.
Apart from Android 10, the update also brings December 2020 Security patch to the device. If you recall, Moto G8 Play, which launched back in October 2019, shipped with Android 9 Pie out of the box.
After a long delay, Motorola Brazil had reportedly said back in July 2020 that the Android 10 Update for the device will be out soon. However, for some reason, that didn’t happen. Anyway, the update is here and you can expect features like a dark theme, full-screen Navigation gestures, and some improvements to privacy.
As for the rollout, expect it to gradually land on every G8 Play in the country soon. Also, it would be too much to ask for an update to Android 11 considering it’s a 2019 budget device but let’s see how things pan out in the future.
speaking of which, in case you don’t know, the Moto G8 Play features a 6.2-inch Max Vision HD+ Display, Triple rear cameras with a 13MP main lens, 4,000mAh battery, NFC, and debuted for R$ 1099 in Brazil.
