Although Motorola hasn’t rolled out Android 7.0 Nougat update to the Moto Z Play but it’ll be out soon. However, Android 7.0 isn’t the latest Android release anymore. Google has already released Android 7.1 as a developer preview for the Nexus 5X, 6P and Pixel C.
And thanks to the folks at xda, you can install Android 7.1 Nougat right this instance on your Moto Z Play with the release of an unofficial build of CM14.1 for the device.
CM14.1 is an Android 7.1 Nougat based AOSP ROM developed and maintained by CyanogenMod — the most popular custom ROM for Android devices.
