Why no Oreo on VZW Version? - Moto Z2 Play Questions & Answers

I see that we are planned to receive the Android Pie update but who knows how long that can take?! Android Oreo is almost a year old and still no update. Even the Moto Z Play has it and that phone released in 2016.

Nougat Update for Moto M

Any Updates regarding the date when Moto M will receive the nougat 7.0 update??
Official hasn't been announced. But u can keep an eye on Moto support to know at the earliest when they are going to release an OTA
Moto has mentioned that Moto M will get Nougat update, you can check on their software updates page.
Moto is being very slow in pushing updates from​ some time. We are not even getting monthly security updates. Its the same for phones under lenovo brand. They have some good phones but should provide updates timely. There is not even any ROM available for Moto M, so we are stuck on marshmallow for a while. Waiting is the only option. They dont even provide ETAs, have tweeted them and asked them already.
Non of the website has stated that our moto m will release 7.0 and since its MTK powered processor we arent having developers ..so we have to wait

It won't in any official state and has had 2 major updates since it's release in February 2017 like the A3 and A5 2017. It, like the other devices, is not eligible as it has gone through it's update cycle as per Samsung update policy.
Never.

As @moozer mentioned it already (but I have to add something) only the international A7 2017 devices (SM-A720F) won't get official pie as it passed the 2 major update schedule. There is still hope at least for the korean variant (SM-A720S). Samsung shipped SM-A720F with Marshmallow to our markets but SM-A720S were shipped with Nougat out-of-the-box in korea, that means SM-A720S only got 1 major update and maybe get a second one with android pie.
You can easly identify or compare it in the firmware releases:
A - android version out-of-the-box
B - 1st major update
C - 2nd major update
for example:
SM-A720F:
A720FXXU2AQG5 - Marshmallow
A720FXXU3BRB8 - Nougat
A720FXXU4CRG2 - Oreo
SM-A720S:
A720SKSU2ARB1 - Nougat
A720SKSU3BRK1 - Oreo
A720SKSU4CXXXX - Pie ??

So if they release pie for the 720s, then how much more work would need to be done for the 720f? If they build pie for one, they might as well build it for the other as they are similar.
Seems I read somewhere about sm-a720? getting pie, but don't quote me on it. It would make sense according to your post.

yes you're right both variants are very similar and it won't take much time for samsung to build pie for A720F too but this doesn't change the fact about A720F's major updates. We all know samsungs marketing: 2 major updates then security patches only.
I remember a scenario which really happened to S5 Neo. Samsung released in 2015 the Galaxy S5 Neo as SM-G903F, SM-G903M and SM-G903W. All were shipped with Lollipop 5.1.1. Also all got a major update to Marshmallow. However, when samsung started to release Nougat only the SM-G903W (Canadian) variant got it while the international varaints never got an official update to Nougat. And I can imagine a similar scenario might happen to A7 2017: SM-A720S will get Pie while SM-A720F won't.
It won't, because Samsung Screwed us all out of an update by releasing the phone on Marshmallow, when Nougat was long since available.
Well Samsung politics is under the moto "buy new phone"
Fook that
