I read about that and Moto X4 Android One will get 9.0 update sure.
The question is to know when X4's european owners receive this update.

According to Google:
"You’ll also get access to the latest updates from Android, such as Android Oreo before the end of the year. Android One moto x4 will be among the first to receive an upgrade to Android P."

We already know that Moto X4 equipped with Android One will have Android P update but the question is to know if Moto X4 with Android Oreo standard will receive Android Pie.
On the other hand, the Motorola's blog in order to know updates news is the worst place where you can get report updates as they do not report anything at all.

Well, it looks like Motorola's blog just announced that Pie will be available this fall:
"...Android Pie will be served up on the below Motorola smartphones starting this fall:
...
moto x4"
https://blog.motorola.com/2018/08/15/baked-android-pie-coming-motorola/
My bets are that:
1. This only applies to Android One. Regular X4s will get it next year.
2. "This fall" means by the end of the calendar year.

The american retail variant are receiving updates at the same time as the Android One does, I think Android Pie will come together, but only for the american variant.

Android M for Moto G 2014?

Hello,
There are rumours over the internet that Motorola might skip Android 5.1 update for Moto G 2014 and going for Android M/Android 6.0 update. Anybody have any idea about this? I have already started to wonder because Moto G 2013 received Android 5.1 update quite a while ago and all that Moto G 2014 got was Stagefright fix.

Moto g 2014 will get 6.0. We always have our devs :v
Yes please skip 5.1.1 and wait another half year for Motorola to release M for Moto G2, when the next Android version will be released by Google and skip Android M too. :good:
Google App Version 5.3
Please install the new google now launcher on play store, moto g 2nd gen.. vertical app icon nd search option is the new change
Devices with Android 4.4 and higher, reports say, are eligible to get the update. However, it was reported that only Android M preview 3 devices will experience the perks of the update.
A few months ago, the company announced that the Now on Tap feature would not be included in the Android M preview testers. The update though may imply that Google has changed its mind.
Meanwhile, the update also brings the vertical scrolling app drawer to the Google Now Launcher.

developers created 5.1.1 based roms while it wasn't rolled out by moto g, so will they get interest in developing marshmallow for our device?

Hell yeah. I don't care about the Moto update. We have a great community.
Well, finally we have the news. Motorola is going to provide Android Marshmallow update for Moto G 2014. Here is the link from Motorola official blog: http://motorola-blog.blogspot.in/2015/10/marshmallow-and-smore.html
The best part is, their software upgrade page now shows information about Android 6.x Marshmallow
Check it out here: https://motorola-mobility-en-in.custhelp.com/app/software-upgrade-news/g_id/2014
So most probably, we won't be getting any Android 5.1..1 update.

Well, Motorola has announced Android M/Android6.0 for Moto G 2014. It is on their official blog and you can check it here: http://motorola-blog.blogspot.in/2015/10/marshmallow-and-smore.html.
Also, their software upgrade page now shows information about Android 6.x Marshmallow
Check it out here: https://motorola-mobility-en-in.cust...news/g_id/2014
But what we need to keep in mind is that Motorola is very much slow when it comes to releasing updates. Nexus already got it, I am sure, like Android Lollipop, many of other devices would get it before Motorola releases.

Well, let's just look at the history:
Android 5.0: We got it after months after Google released it for Nexus.
Android 5.1: Nexus got it long time back, we didn't get that one.
Android 6.0: You say? maybe June 2016 or something

Confirmed EMUI 9 beta testing in China

Huawei started Beta testing program for our P smart in China. That includes only the chinese models for now. What do you think guys? Will be the EMUI 9 released globally for P smart?
It has to receive Pie as P Smart is Android Enterprise Recommended device and Google mandates at least one major update for such devices

Android Enterprise Recommended makes it simple for businesses to confidently select, deploy and manage Android devices and services that meet elevated enterprise requirements validated by Google.

So that means Google is going to support Huawei for releasing Android Pie for P smart even if it's based on EMUI?

Yes, it doesn't matter if they have their skin over the Android they have to have one major update. Good thing is that P Smart came out with 8 so it has to be updated to 9.
When i had LG G6 people had the same concerns if it will receive 8, but then Google added G6 to that program and LG had to update it.

P20 Lite just got working beta, I am using it right now and since the phone is almost exactly the same as P Smart 2018 I guess there will be a beta soon for it
It works just as 8.0 and it's stable.

Pie is the last one major update.... Because Moto assicure only 2 major update.. But we will receive for sure minor update, like security patch.. Also I am waiting the last one update ; after that I will root and test all the other rom... But for now I don't feel the necessity of root.

I agree, however I think there MAY be an update to Android Q as there was a variant of the Moto X4 (6/64) that was released with Android Oreo - 2 major updates would bring it to Android Q.
Edit: it was the 6/64 version that was released with Oreo, not the 4/64 that I originally stated. I have the 3/32 version.

Will nubia give android 10 update to z20?

I'm interested to buy z20 but I have never owned a nubia (or zte) phone so I wanted to ask:
1. Historically speaking, does nubia give android version upgrades to their z series phones? Like their most recent z17 and z18?
2. Did they announce / guarantee that android 10 will come to z20?
I want the stock dark mode feature in android 10 so I'm asking if it will come to z20
???
As a Chinese and who used Nubia X before, I can tell you NOT RECENTLY.
Nubia is a company that it doesn't like to update system regularly for their products even they know the users are not satisfied with that.
I think it may get a android 10 update next year (before the next generation of Z series), but don't expect too much. You'll get used to the Nubia.

Thank you for response. I do expect them more or less to not give updates because they aren't as known or big a brand as huawei/xiaomi and even popular oppo/vivo is very sketchy in giving updates.
Did they give android version upgrades to z17 and z18 series? I mean from nubia, not custom roms.
I have seen custom roms for z17 series phones. Will z20 get custom roms in future? I only need the basic stuff as long as the multi-tasking of both screens is still available. I have apps that can do the game space stuff.

The z17 and z18 just updated the UI, but the android version is still the old. I think next year z20 will got an official android 10 update, but not very recently (second half year? maybe)
For the custom roms, in the future, I don't think there would be too many, since the phone is not very popular even in China.
The Nubia X now only have Mokee (official) and MIUI (unofficial).
Ok, that's all, hope my reply can help you. Thanks.

Custom roms are only possible if the company releases the phone source code or whatever it's called? Has nubia released it for z20?
I thought nubia x had an official pie beta?

this appears to be the set of blobs for the NX627J
https://github.com/AndroidBlobs/vendor_nubia_NX627J
Guys the device hasnt update since end of October.is that normal?other Nubias has....
I have a Nubia z11
The phone was released in 2016 . as for system update
The EU ROM was updated till android 7.1 from android 6. And cn version gets update on android 6 last sept we got new release . the cn version also has android 7 but development was stopped. As for custom ROMs
My z11 is on havoc 3.3 android 10 with gcam.
All I can say is if you have a developer to support the device for at least a few years its more than enough.
