The Moto Z Play on Verizon is now getting Android 8.0 Oreo a little more than a month since its unlocked cousin got the update.
Android 8.0 Oreo is officially making its way to the unlocked Moto Z and Moto Z Play in the United States!
Right now you can pick up the original Moto Z Play for just $249.99 at B&H Photo. You won't pay sales tax at the time of purchase if you live outside of NY or NJ.
Motorola has had a ... mixed history with software updates. But it's at least committing to Android 8.0 Oreo for several of its recent phones from the past year.
Right now you can pick up a 32GB unlocked Moto Z Play in refurbished condition for just $249.99 (plus $5 shipping) from Woot.
B&H Photo is offering a pretty awesome package deal on the Moto Z Play right now. For $350 you get the phone, a $50 gift card and a basic photo/video kit to use with the phone.
Your days of waiting are over — multi-window multitasking, direct replies in the notification shade, and data saver functionality are now available for your modular device.
Why you should think about buying a Moto Z Play right now.
Motorola published the list of phones that will be updated to Android 7.0 Nougat. Most phones announced this year are on the list — including the Moto G4 and G4 Plus, Moto Z, Z Play, and Z Force — as well as last year's Moto X Pure Edition and X Play.
This is where you can buy the Moto Z, the Moto Z Force, and the Moto Z Play.
The Moto Z Play is the latest addition to Lenovo's modular Moto Z series. In the UK, the Moto Z Play will be available at John Lewis and Amazon for £369. Verizon's global exclusivity on the Moto Z is also set to come to an end later this month, with the Moto Z debuting in the UK for £529.
Motorola's latest smartphone is the Moto Z Play Droid, coming to Verizon in early September for around $400. And while it lacks all of the bells and whistles of its more expensive Moto Z and Moto Z Force counterparts, there are no sacrifices here — just a solid all-round Android phone with support for the excellent Moto Mods accessories.
