Why no Android N update for Moto G Turbo? - Android General

Please sign this petition to push Lenovo (Moto) to provide Android N update for Moto G3 and Moto G Turbo devices (please copy and paste the url) - change.org/p/motorola-please-include-moto-g-3rd-gen-for-android-nougat-update
On 4th October 2016 Lenovo announced on 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. Lenovo appears 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 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.

[Q] CM 11 for Moto G XT1033 [Dual SIM]

I have been tracking CM wiki for Moto G on their site. Until a day or two ago, it said:
This is a unified build that supports retail (XT1031, XT1032, and XT1034) and Google Play Edition (XT1032). Future support for XT1033 (dual sim) will be added.​
But today it says:
This is a unified build that supports retail (XT1031, XT1032, XT1033 and XT1034) and Google Play Edition (XT1032).​
Does this mean it supports the XT1033 (dual sim) now? since people installing it before on XT1033 reported that the phone only worked in Single SIM mode. Please update if anyone is in the know how about this. I tried posting on CM11 for Moto G topic but not enough posts...

U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250 any update is coming ?

Hello!
I am currently running Moto Maxx XT1250 on 4.4.4 android. And the device says that there is no any update for me by air.
Does anyone have any information about upcoming update for XT1250 from 4.4.4 to 5.x.x. or 6.x.x. ?
Thank you!
I don't think so. Motorola appears to have abandoned the XT1250 to 4.4.4 like the Moto Turbo got left out of the 6.0 update. I have the same issue on my XT1250, and I'm just going to be returning it and getting an XT1225 unless there's a way to flash XT1225 firmware on my XT1250. I tried it with the retail Brazil firmware and Wi-Fi got permanently broken as well as cellular, so I had to go back to the American XT1250 stock software.
OMG this is a very bad news for me.
Well
1) the Droid Turbo XT1254 Quark bootloader just got unlocked -- so when the devs flood to that with whatever ROMs, you can flash those too. The XT1250 and XT1254 have the same FCC ID. They are identical in every respect.
2) I know @Skrilax_CZ, the CM dev for Quark has been developing support for the XT1250 as well as @baybutcher27 the Resurrection Remix dev. For awhile they were handicapped because no one with an XT1250 would volunteer to help test stuff. Not sure what the current state is, you would have to ask them.
Good news everyone, 1250 just got the OTA update (still 5.0.2 however). 22.34.27.en.US version number.
Got my OTA today.

Last time the XT1250 was update 9 months after Droid Turbo XT1254 (same device) was updated. And now the Droid Turbo just got updated to Marshmallow beginning of December 2016. Hope it won't be as long this time?
Last time was July 2015 (Lollipop) for Droid Turbo XT1254, and then March 2016 (Lollipop) for XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx.
Maybe will be March 2017 for the XT1250... Otherwise if "9 months" (like last time) then you are looking at August 2017.

No...
Moto G 2015 - osprey
Moto G Turbo - merlin
They share a line name (Moto G) and many common features, but for the most part they are different devices. Unless a ROM dev has an all in one ROM that is specifically stated as working on both devices (and I don't know of any), only use ROMs, recovery, mods, etc. that are specifically for the Merlin.
