Android One Moto X4 launches on Project Fi, will be updated to Android P

Google today announced that it's bringing Android One to theUS- just as recently rumored. The very first Android One smartphone to bereleased stateside is made by Motorola, and it's none other than the Moto X4 (firstrevealed at the end of August). The handset will be available on Project Fi, Google's ownwireless service that relies on both Wi-Fi and LTE (thanks to partnerships withT-Mobile, Sprint, and US Cellular).

The "Android One Moto X4", as Google is callingit, is different from the handset that Motorola will be selling only when itcomes to software, as it's got Android One on board - this is the "purestform of Android", initially developed for lower-end handsets in emergingmarkets around the world.  

According to Google, Android One will allow owners of thisMoto X4 to get an update to Android 8 Oreo by the end of 2017. Interestingly, Googleeven mentions that the device will be among the first to be updated to AndroidP (of course, this will likely happen sometime in the second half of 2018).
