Motorola announces November security update for Moto G8 Plus & Moto Z4, Android 10 a long way to go

Motorola has yet to come up with an exciting smartphone as we come close to the end of the year. There were few hits and misses from the company but none of its products matched the expectation of today’s smartphone user.

However recently, the company came up with a revised version of its iconic Moto Razr, it again fell under the radar due to its mediocre specs considering the $1500 price tag.

Though the company is not a name to reckon with, it is trying to keep themselves in the picture of today’s competitive smartphone market by pushing out security and firmware updates for its devices.

And in a recent development, Motorola has announced the November 2019 security patchset for two of its device namely, Moto G8 Plus and Moto Z4.

The update will bring the latest patchset along with some system and stability improvements for both the devices. Moreover, you can expect the latest updates to hit your devices in the near future.
