[Update: Brazil Too] Moto Z Play Is Already Receiving Nougat, Prior Than The Promised Timeline

When Moto Z was announced to be getting Nougat, the Z Play users got excited and waited for their turn but then, the news came in that Z Play won't receive the update just yet. Later on, Moto Germany, via its twitter handle, confirmed that Z Play will get the Nougat update in March. Today, there is a twist in the tale as from nowhere, the most awaited Nougat update starts to popup for Z Play users. This is the same update that went live to European users and is now in hands for the Indian and Brazillian audience, confirmation for other regions is yet to be done.

This is a surprising move and being 1.1GB in size, it has to be a stable one and sepculations for the soak test can go to rest. The update has rolled out 1 month prior than the promised timeline so, it's already a plausible work by the company. Build number for the update is NPN25.137-15-2, try your luck and head over to check the system update manually if you haven't received the OTA notification. 

Received a screenshot from Brazil, Moto Z Play having the software channel as 'retbr'. Security Patch level goes with January 1, 2017.
