Good news for all the Moto G7 Play unit users as the company has finally started pushing the latest Android 10 update in Brazil. The firmware OTA update is making its way in a phased manner and it may take a while in order to arrive on all the units globally. Lenovo-owned brand Motorola has released the Moto G7 Play in March 2019 that came with Android 9.0 Pie preloaded. Now, all the interested Moto G7 Play users can download and install the Android 10 update below that bumps up a software version QPY30.52-22.

To be very specific, Motorola isn’t known for its software update policies as the brand can’t manage to deliver the on-time major Android updates or the frequent security patch updates as well. Even after launching the Android 10 stable back in September 2019, Motorola has managed to push the same for the Moto G7 Play when the Android 11 public Beta has already arrived. But it’s better late than never.

We will recommend you to check for the OTA update manually on an interval basis to get notified earlier. Meanwhile, you can manually flash the firmware update file by following the guide below.
