It must be noted that the Android 11 update for the Moto G9 and Moto G9 Play went under the soak testing phase back in May.

On the other hand, there were virtually no signs of the OS update for the Moto G9 Power. Also, users of the Moto G9 Power were facing some issues with the call quality and a future update was to address the same.

However, it is unclear whether the latest OS update for the Moto G9 Power addresses the said issues or not.
