Motorola provided a list of devices which are going to get the new Android Nougat update. However, Moto G 2015 (Osprey) and the Moto G 2015 Turbo Edition (merlin) are not listed while they are perfectly capable of running it. Hence, to bring this under Motorola's attention, a petition has been started.
Original thread content :
""Please discuss, post support and spread news about this petition: https://www.change.org/p/motorola-please-include-moto-g-3rd-gen-for-android-nougat-update
On 4th October 2016 you announced on your official blog which handsets would be getting the Android 7.0 (Nougat) update.
Absent from the list was the Moto G 3rd Gen (Osprey) and Moto G Turbo Edition (Merlin) - making them historically the first Moto G phones to receive only one major Android update. Both Moto G 1st Gen (Falcon) and 2nd Gen (Titan) where given two Android updates - KitKat and Lollipop in the case of 'Falcon,' and Lollipop and Marshmallow for 'Titan.'
The abandoning of support for both 'Osprey' after 8 months (Android 6.0.1 was released in March 2016) and 'Merlin' after only 3 months shows that the Moto brand now will no longer respect the previous practise of providing ‘18 months of update support.’
Included on the current official Nougat update device list is the Moto G Play (4th Gen) - a handset with weaker specifications than both 'Osprey' and 'Merlin.'
The issue is not technical limitation. You appear to have simply decided your last generation Moto G handsets are no longer important.
The Moto G Play uses the exact same chipset and GPU as 'Osprey,' but runs at a lower CPU clock-speed. This profound hardware similarity also suggests that in the process of making the update for Moto G Play; much of the work needed to produce a Nougat update for 'Osprey' would be completed.
Moto X Play (also on the Nougat update list) uses the exact same chipset and GPU as Moto G Turbo Edition - making both devices Vulkan compatible.
Moto G is a mid-range device, but your update support for it shrinks with each year. Why should people have confidence in your products when you so casually drop support for your best-selling phone?""

no touchless control is only for the moto x because motorola has made their own cpu chipset with allows touchless control without it being a battery killer. someone correct me if i'm wrong.
and active display requires AMOLED display i believe.
Moto X Features on Moto G: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2543619
The features are only possible through software, and unfortunately battery-draining. The Moto G lacks a low-powered companion core and an amoled screen.
However a good compromise is to install GEL launcher; then you can say "OK Google" on home-screen and say a command. This works well without hitting the battery too hard. Gel on Moto G Thread - Latest version of GEL here.
ok many thank, beacause i have seen this information and in the market (italy )i look controllo a mani libere..and hope that it was fot moto g .
You may wonder how I'm telling that Motorola will release the update in few days. Its because I noticed something that Motorola did today.
Yes Motorola Updated all the Motorola Apps in Google Play Store with material design to most of them.
List of apps that got updated today :
Moto Assist
Moto Alert
Motorola FM Radio
Motorola Gallery ( Material Design )
Motorola Help
Motorola Camera ( Material Design )
So hold on for few days for a prefinal release of Android Lollipop for Moto G

There is no active display on Moto G.
Use AcDisplay, you can find it in the play store.
I've noticed a strange issue in Chome for Android on my Moto G (2015): box-shadows are angular/edged instead of smooth if "translate3d" is enabled. The issue does not exist on a Moto G (2014).
The following bug report has screenshots and a demo URL: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=519996
I'm wondering if other Moto G (2015) owners can confirm this issue? Or could my Moto G be faulty?
Hi, I'm trying to find the full specs about the Moto G Turbo Edition (that is released in mexico and brasil as far as I know fo), mainly if the screen is 720p or 1080p, and if if has the gyroscope and magnetometer that the Moto G 2015 lacks. I have searched this information over the web and have found many conflicting specs, even from motorola itself :/
Can anyone point me to a reliable source of these specs?

The normal 2015 G (osprey) has a magnetometer and dual accelerometers but no gyroscope. Same applies to the 2015 Moto X Play (lux). So I'd expect the Moto G Turbo to be the same as well (magnetometer and dual accelerometer but no gyroscope).
Here's GSM Arena, has details you're looking for. http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_g_turbo_edition-7743.php
