After moto g2 I'm never ever buying a motorolla phone again. Ever.

Constant crashes, hangups, it takes 5 minutes to power on. I'm not alone, the internet is filled with people having the same issues. The updates to newer android versions made everything even worse. Worst phone ever, and I bought it because os the astroturfing on the internet.

Moto G4 32gb owner. Cheap reliable, fast. Battery is good. Now with Android 7... Best bang for my bucks yet.

You're obviously peddling the phone (your username, 2-hrs-old account). But I want to know, how you have Android 7 on the G4? mine has 6.0.1 and there are no pending updates. Other than that, very happy with this phone.

Probably https://download.lineageos.org/athene / http://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/athene/ (LineageOS is the successor to CyanogenMod).

That supports Android 7.1 on lots of devices the manufacturers don't (I have it on a 1st-generation Moto G).

Exactly, just reacting to the parent thread...

Standard update. I'm not in US though. Maybe Lenovo is releasing the update progressively.

Had that phone, worked fine. Gave it to my dad, still works fine. My brother bought one, his works fine, he still has it. I now have a g4, that works fine.
