Although Motorola has pushed Android 10 updates for the entire Moto G8 range, the Moto G8 Plus (Moto G8 +) still lacks it.
As users wait for updates to Android 10 on their Moto G8 Plus (Moto G8 +), the Lenovo-owned OEM has made available to users the February 2020 security patch, based on Android 9 Pie .
It also suggests that the Android 10 update may not be arriving anytime soon. While security updates are also very important as they protect your device from dangerous vulnerabilities, Moto G8 Plus (Moto G8 +) users are more interested in the Android 10 update.
You can check out various user queries on the Motorola community’s official website, where multiple users have asked about Android 10 updates for the Moto G8 Plus (Moto G8 +).
In response to such requests, Motorola gives vague, scripted responses that users will be notified of the update as soon as it is available.
Motorola G8 Plus users have also had great difficulty extracting the February 2020 security patch set from the OEM that is currently deployed to the masses.
It’s been months since users have asked for security updates, but again, users have been treated with the same vague response and scripted by Motorola support. Just a reminder, that the Moto G8 Plus was running the security patchset for November 2019 before the arrival of this patch for February.
Coming back to the last update, it arrives with the version number PPI29.65-51 and it also brings stability improvements for the device.
Read the full changelog (translated from portuguese) as well as the screenshot of the Moto G8 Plus (Moto G8 +):
See what’s new:
– Android security: includes fixes for Android security until February 1, 2020
– Stability improvements: includes changes that correct errors and optimize the stability of your device.
In addition, the update appears to be affecting units in Brazil, and other regions are expected to join soon.
As we have already pointed out, this pie-based security patchset postpones the Android 10 map update for the Moto G8 + at least for a while. We will keep you posted as soon as we have more information on this.
