Moto Z4, the latest flagship in the Moto Z-series of smartphones that debuted late last month, isn't upgradable to Android R and will receive Android Q as the last major software update, Motorola reportedly confirmed to an online publication. The latest move comes a long time after Lenovo acquired Motorola Mobility from Google back in 2014. It certainly comes as a surprise for the loyal Moto Z-series fans who may have planned to pick the Moto Z4. Generally, manufacturers provide at least two Android version updates. But it appears the Lenovo-owned company would end up bringing Android Q as the only major update to its flagship later this year.
