Moto G5 in India Finally Gets Android 8.1 Oreo Update

Motorola every bit a brand is highly popular in India, and that started with the original Moto Yard device. However, the brand has lately seen itself lose out on the throne in the budget market place, which Xiaomi, Honor and the likes dominating it right now, thank you to improve hardware at a cheaper price tag.

What's more is that ever since Lenovo acquired Motorola, the company has struggled in the software department, delivering just a single major system update. Now, while the visitor has launched the Moto G6 in the country, it hasn't forgotten the G5, at least not all the same.

After running soak tests for a while now in Brazil, Motorola seems to have finally rolled out the Android viii.1 Oreo update for the Moto G5, skipping the Android 8.0 Oreo update, which was something to exist expected.

The update brings forth the all-new Android 8.1 Oreo firmware forth with Android security updates through Baronial 1st, 2018, and a couple of stability improvements. You can check out the changelog in the screenshot fastened below, or check out the update page on Motorola'southward website as well.

To download the update on your device, but head over to Settings -> Almost Telephone -> System Updates and tap on "Download". Once the update file has been downloaded, y'all will be prompted to reboot your device, post which the Android eight.1 Oreo update will be installed.

Beebom'south Take

While it's good to run into that Motorola has finally updated the G5 to Android viii.i Oreo, ane must realize that this update has been long overdue, especially because that the phone was launched back in March 2017 and Android Oreo was released five months later in August.

Adding to the feeling that yous are getting onetime software is that stable builds for Android Pie are out equally well. For anyone that adored the Moto G for its stock Android experience and timely updates, this certainly seems disheartening.

While other manufacturers such as Nokia have realized that software plays a crucial part in capturing and retaining users, Motorola seems to be going in the opposite management. What's more than is that there is no word whether the Moto G5 series will get Android Pie, something that the device is more than well-equipped to handle.
