In December, Motorola pledged to update a good number of its devices to Android 11. The Moto G8 and G8 Power were both on this list. However, we still don’t have a timeline for any of the devices out there and it’s good to see that Motorola has started to cover some ground. Well, technically the Moto G Pro already started the update cycle in January, but not much else has happened since. There is an official Motorola update portal that you can use to check the progress of other devices.
Motorola Moto G8 and G8 Power Android 11 OTA
Regardless, the Moto G8 and G8 Power use the same software version, which is why they receive the same update package, version number RPE31.Q4U-47-35. It is based on Android 11 and contains the February 2021 security patches. It is a phased OTA rollout, currently underway in Colombia after what has been said to be a beta soak test of four months. You can expect to see the update soon in other markets.
