The Moto G5 Plus is less than a month old, and it is already receiving its first ever software update. The software update is being pushed out to Moto G5 Plus units in Brazil and ships with a number of fixes and improvements, including a fix that will improve the audio quality of videos captured by the device. On top of that, it brings along stability improvements and a number of bug fixes which haven’t been detailed in the changelog of the update.
If you install the latest update, your new software version should be changed to NPN25.137-33, and it should be noted that it is quite a sizable package that weighs over 280MB. The package is being pushed out as an over-the-air (OTA) update, so it might take a while before all users receive it. The system will automatically prompt you to download and install the update when it is ready for your device. However, if you can’t wait, you can manually check for the update by simply heading to the Settings app. From there, tap the “About device” option and then select “Software updates.” If the update is indeed ready for your device, you will be given the option to download it, which will take around 10 to 15 minutes. Considering it is quite a sizable update, you should download it over a Wi-Fi network to avoid using a significant chunk of your mobile data.
