None of the Motorola Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus are eligible for an update to Android 9 Pie officially. Of course, it’s likely that Pie-based custom ROMs may hit the market later on, but we cannot be sure about this. We will update this post with the new info if and when we get it.

Moto G4 and G4 Plus Oreo update

  • Stable Oreo update available for G4 Plus
  • Available in the U.S. and India now
  • Should be reaching other markets by March 2019
  • Moto G4 not eligible for Android 8.1 Oreo

Motorola wasn’t planning to provide an update to Android Oreo for the Moto G4 Plus, but after facing numerous requests from fans, the company did confirm that an Oreo update would be made available for the Plus variant, but since it wasn’t planned, the company would take its sweet time to make this software update available.

It is, for this reason, the Oreo beta program had to wait until September 2018 to arrive on the Moto G4 Plus, with the stable update arriving on February 09, 2019, in the U.S.
