Those who haven't received a notification for the update can head to Settings > About Phone > System updates to check for availability, and then if an update is available, download and install.

Moto Z Play was launched last year in October in India and the dual-SIM smartphone sports a 5.5-inch QHD (1440x2560 pixels) AMOLED display, and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC coupled with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM. In terms of optics, it comes with a 13-megapixel rear camera with f/1.8 aperture, laser autofocus, optical image stabilisation, and dual-LED flash. At front, it features a 5-megapixel camera with an f/2.2 aperture and wide-angle lens.

It comes with 64GB built-in storage, which expandability via microSD (up to 2TB). Connectivity options on the Moto Z include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth v4.1, GPS/ A-GPS, NFC, and a USB Type-C port. However, there is no 3.5mm headphone jack on the smartphone, which might be still a hard thing to get used to.
