Aside from getting all the new features that the new version of the operating system brings, the Nougat update will also make the Moto Z compatible with Google’s new Daydream VR platform. The Moto Z (along with the Moto Z Force that also gets the Nougat update) will be the first non-Google made phone to be recognized by Google as Daydream-ready devices.
