Update, November 30: It was two months ago aback it already added looked like Motorola was rolling out the Android Nougat amend for the Moto X Pure Edition; its owners had already encountered one apocryphal start, so we were alert aback the update fabricated some broadcast appearances in September.

Though it transpired that those updates were bound to alone a scattering of users, we’re now fairly assertive that it’s rolling out proper. Recent comments on Reddit, the XDA forums, and the Lenovo forums (via Android Police) would advance so, acceptation the handset is now accepting what will assuredly be its aftermost above update. Look out for the OTA anon if you haven’t encountered it already.

Original coverage, September 28: It was March aback we aboriginal heard about the possibilities of a Moto X Pure Edition Nougat update in the US. Motorola had aloof beatific out emails agreeable barter into a clandestine absorb analysis area they could accommodate acknowledgment on the software afore it was absolutely formed out.

Later in April, we (preemptively) appear that Motorola was blame out that update, accepting appear beyond its updated Mobile Support folio with capacity of the rollout. Today, we’ve abstruse that Motorola ability actually, finally, be rolling out the official amend in the US.

The account arrives via Android Police, which claims that a cardinal of Moto X Pure Edition owners are now demography to amusing media to advertise that they’ve accustomed the update. Reportedly, this is the aboriginal amend that some owners accept accustomed in a year, including security patches, and it brings the accessory up to Android 7.0.

I’ve had a quick advance about assorted amusing pages and there are still some X Pure owners adage they haven’t accustomed said update yet. This would still accomplish faculty if it’s in the aboriginal stages of its rollout — it isn’t acceptable to ability everybody for addition few days. All the same, I don’t appetite anybody to get their hopes up too high aloof yet. We’ll be befitting an eye on it, and I’ve accomplished out to Motorola for added info.

The Moto X Pure Edition, accepted abroad as the Moto X Style, was appear aback in September 2015, and it’s a smartphone we were actual addicted of. It’s a shame, then, that this stop-start advancement to Nougat — no agnosticism the aftermost above Android amend it receives — will conceivably leave a bad aftertaste in people’s mouths.
