Hi Guys!
Recently Motorola released release notes for Android 8.1 for Moto G5s Plus.
But unfortunately Motorola has removed that release note from their website. And I don't know why.
Looks like Motorola had accidently released those notes.
Here's that release note webpage.

Is it possible the update notes were meant for soak testers and not for general release?

It's possible this is a cheap chinese company doing what cheap chinese companies do - cut corners at every turn to make a profit from something somebody else designed; in this case motorola branded phones running android. We knew the upgrade process was an afterthought for them, and now we know they can't handle PR/marketing related functions properly either. They're probably oblivious to the fact that people are disappointed. "What's the problem? We get a request for information about oreo and we point you at the now nine month old web page which says "yes, you'll get oreo" - what more do you want?".
Yes, look this now.

I don't understand this.
It's a security patch update notice. As it says.

the thing is that the Z play has got oreo release notes before the soak test started...
By the looks of it. We might have to wait longer for Android Oreo to be released for our precious Moto G5S plus. It is unfortunate because I really love Motorola's phones. They have been lacking it when it comes down to the new Android operating systems.
Take a look at this chat, they're not even giving proper responses.
The link he had mentioned is of APRIL'S Security Update

Hello good people. Doesn't anyone know if the TF701 is getting this upgrade?
We can hope so but I've not seen anything official from Asus.
Highly unlikely imo but you never know. We are approaching the 18 month point that marks the end of official support.

September 2013 (I thought it was August but I bought mine in Sep)
So that means soon we will be in month 14.
I feel like Asus abandoned us
I've been holding off putting a third party ROM on my TF701T as Asus had been good about updating other tablets. But I feel like their crappy docking hinge caused lower sales which makes them care very little about this particular product. My guess is we aren't going to see Lollipop officially. Good things there is active development going on.

He (pershoot) has said it a couple of times in his CM thread that he was going to make a lollipop rom, but it was a while ago, and I assume most people forgot about it or something.

I asked the people of ASUS and they said there are no plans a.t.m. for an android 5.0 release
Good news, pershoot released an unofficial cm 12 (android 5) port for tf701t yesterday
droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3671
I've just installed it via cwm recovery.
While I don't want to raise false hope, I just want to share one special brochure made by ASUS Singapore, indicating that there might be a 5.0 update for the tf701t. http://pricewatch.vr-zone.com/itshow/pricelists/view/ASUS7
Hmm, that's interesting. We can only hope.

I just got two updates in the last to days. They usually put out updates before they do a major upgrade like lollipop so I take this as a hopeful sign.

No, these weren't just app updates they were system updates. Got to watch the android dude a little bit both times. After the first my background changed after the second the pulldown changed. Still on 4.4.2
While I was in contact with ASUS support I asked about Android L to the TF701T. First they said that they had no info, but later I got a reply, where they said that the had contacted the RD-department and that ASUS have no plans on releasing Android L for the TF701T.
We can onlu hope that this info is incorrect or ASUS change their minds. They havn'nt made any offical statement at all regaring Android L to tablets, have they?

It doesn't surprise me as we are approaching 2 years. ASUS don't really release updates beyond 18 months. All their latest transformers seem to be using Intel chips for Android as well.
I want to know whether moto x 2013 will get offical android 6.0 update or not bcause most of the websites doesnt include moto x 1st gen in the list of devices expected to get android 6.0
I think many would tell you it barely got 5.0 and likely won't get 5.1
VZW still on 4.4.4.
So basically very little chance.
Most likely the only official way to get 6.0 would be through Cyanogen. It's gotten old and carriers are already showing signs of cutting out support. But hey I see no reason why the hardware can't support it.

Cyanogen isn't official...
In other news, I highly doubt Motorola/Lenovo will go to 6.0. They had to do all the hardware programming to make Lollipop work, and with the phone now 2 generations behind the latest, they probably won't devote any further resources to it unless there is another highly critical security update needed.

Maybe it is official in the eyes of the CM team since there is a maintainer, but it is not an official update. Call up any carrier and tell them you have official CyanogenMod install on your phone and see what they tell you.

Yes obviously it isn't the official update from Moto, I was only referring it to be official with regards to CM users which in my case is good enough regardless of whether Moto releases their own updates.

Battery drain issue fix
Will they provide any update to fix the battery drain bug occured after the offical android 5.1 ???????????
Actually there is quite a big chance that this phone will get 6.0 at some point, may come very fast or xtra slow as it happened with lp, but since MM is essentially the same crap as LP, it probably won't take them that long.
It's too early to tell, but I don't think the Moto X will have a chance

BLU does not have a very good track record with maintaining or updating their devices... If not for Amazon that variant would still be stuck on 6.1.... But it is a nice phone for the price.... We would stand a better chance of getting Nougat if everyone that bought the device contributed to a fund, and paid Tinno to develop it....

Better not expect it. Marshmallow still respectable, especially for general users who don't care if their phones got current version.
Not holding my breath
Would be nice. Sucks to buy a new phone only to find the NEXT android OS version comes out with new functionality like google assistant right after, and the phone MFR is all "sorry not upgrading that model" :silly:
Yeah, but it's much easier to take lack of updates on a $60 phone than a $600 phone!
Lenovo dropped updates on my, then $230, Moto G LTE xt1045 only 10 months after it was released. And that update from kitkat to lollipop was reported to have lots of problems.
Really? It's a 60 dollar phone it's already a heck of a value. It's not like 7 has any must have feature.

BLU did promise (actually "with a guaranteed update to Android 7.0.") to Android Authority during an interview about the BLU r1 HD, http://www.androidauthority.com/blu-r1-hd-announced-700951/
"US based, BLU Products, announced a new budget smartphone to its lineup for the US market. The BLU R1 HD is sold unlocked, backed by a 2500mAh battery and is currently one of the few devices yet, confirmed to run the upcoming Android 7.0 Nougat when it arrives later this year."
Will be interesting if we actually see Nougat since we haven't even seen LTE band 12 yet and that was promised by both Amazon and BLU R1 HD (shortly after release) 5 months later no update yet.
I would expect an CM rom or something to be completed and working perfectly before BLU officially releases a Nougat update.

OTA update
There are two OTA updates for Moto G5s Plus released by the Google but Motorola has not shared with its customers. The pain is that Moto does not share frequent security patches updates. They have to start stepping forward to this. They need to be customer minded now or they will loose customers slowly away. I am one of them.
Even my Moto G4+ got the September patch yesterday. There is none so far for this one. Loving the phone nonetheless.
However Motorola does need to commit to regular software and patch updates.

Google only releases the updates for its own devices(Pixel and Nexus). All other manufacturers develop the ROMs and their updates for their devices on their own and Google just certifies them after which they can be released via OTA.
Today I received an update for the Motorola Notification app in the play store. Here's the Changelog - Added support for Android 8.0
So the Motorola Notification App for the Moto G5s Plus has got support for android Oreo so this implies that the Android Oreo update is around the corner.
Fingers Crossed.
Also could anyone please tell me how to upload a photo in a thread like this from device's gallery.
Because I want to upload screenshot in these types of threads.

Here is my thought -
The Moto G5s Plus and the Moto X4 has the same camera app installed(play store) but they differ in features. Like initially the X4 had a spot color feature but the G5s Plus was not having it but they both had the same camera app installed.
So I think Motorola releases different versions of their apps for different phones.
Same applies to the notification app.

While I am skeptical of companies following through with updates, I do believe this phone will get Oreo. However, remember when the Moto X Style/Play was to get Nougat? It took 2 years...They eventually got it, but way way late.
Well after this news https://www.xda-developers.com/motorola-lays-off-half-chicago-workforce/#disqus_thread
I'm not hoping for much of an update anytime soon. Not saying this will affect the update, but it doesn't look promising
