Back in November last year we saw Motorola testing the Android 8.0 Oreo update for the Moto Z2 Force. Now, the US company is again looking to users in South America as it prepares to rollout the Oreo update for its mid-ranger, the Moto Z2 Play.

From the high-end, modular Z2 models to the more affordable Moto C devices, Lenovo-owned Motorola had a busy 2017. Its strategy resembled the machine gun approach on which Samsung relied for a long time. According …

With Oreo now rolling out across Verizon and T-Mobile versions of Motorola's ostensible flagship, the Z2 Force, it's encouraging that the OEM hasn't forgotten about the cheaper Z2 Play.

As a refresher, the Z2 Play features a 5.5-inch display with Full HD resolution, Qualcomm's octa-core Snapdragon 626 processor, 3 or 4 GB of RAM, 32 or 64 GB of on-board storage, and a 3,000 mAh battery. As part of the Z-series, the Z2 Play also enjoys support for Moto Mods.

There's no word on a wider Oreo rollout for the Z2 Play at the moment, but judging by Z2 Force time-frame, it's fair to expect an update around March or April.
