Why trust Greenbot
Motorola today announced that it will start a global roll out of the Android 7.0 Nougat update for the Moto Z and the Moto Z Force from this week. This also includes the Moto Z Droid and the Z Force DROID edition sold by Verizon in the United States. The Big Red carrier has also posted the changelog of the update over on its website.
Besides bringing new Nougat features like split-view multitasking, redesigned notification shade, built-in data saver, quick reply, and more, the Nougat update will also make the Moto Z and Z Force Daydream compatible. Right now, the only other Daydream compatible smartphone in the market are Google’s own Pixel and Pixel XL.
To be compatible with Daydream, a smartphone must feature a high-resolution display, fast graphics performance, and high-fidelity sensors for accurate tracking. Post the Nougat update, you can grab a Daydream View headset from Google from Best Buy or the Google Store to check out VR.
Do note that if you are using a carrier-locked version of the Moto Z or Z Force, the update will not land on your device by the end of this week. Instead, it would first need to be certified by your carrier which depending on the efficiency of their certification process can take anywhere between a few weeks to months.
