15 Motorola phones to be updated to Android 7.0 Nougat...to sell unlocked Moto Z in the US

Motorola has published a full list of the 15 phones eligible for the upgrade to Android 7.0 Nougat, Google's latest Android release. If you've purchased a Motorola device over the past year then it's likely your device will be in scope for an upgrade, but Android Central points out there are a few exceptions to that rule.
While handsets like last year's Moto X Pure Edition and X Play make the list, others like the Moto G (2015) and Moto E3 Power won't be upgraded. Motorola is planning to start rolling out Nougat later this quarter, and the Moto Z and Moto G4 will be the first devices to receive the update. Here's the full list:
Moto G (4th Gen)
Moto G Plus (4th Gen)
Moto G Play (4th Gen)
Moto X Pure Edition (3rd Gen)
Moto X Style
Moto X Play
Moto X Force
Droid Turbo 2
Droid Maxx 2
Moto Z
Moto Z Droid
Moto Z Force Droid
Moto Z Play
Moto Z Play Droid
Nexus 6
The Motorola Moto Z has been a Verizon-exclusive in the US so far, but now you can purchase the unlocked variant of the device officially from Motorola as well as third party retailers including Amazon and Best Buy.
Priced at $700, the handset is only compatible with GSM networks, meaning Sprint customers are currently out of luck. Those waiting for the unlocked Moto Z Play should know that the phone will go on sale starting October 20.
