Motorola has launched the next smartphones in its Moto G series being the Moto G5 and the Moto G5 Plus at the MWC in Barcelona last month and subsequently launched the Moto G5 Plus in India on March 15 and has already sent out invites for its event on April 4 where the company will launch the Moto G5 in India. However, the company has been busy giving the updates to the older G series phones particularly the G4 Plus which already got the Android Nougat update at the start of this year. Now the company has been testing the Android 7.1.1 Nougat update on the G4 Plus.
