It's really important for Android phones to be up-to-date with latest software, as it brings security patches and also fixes bugs that affect the devices' performance. Moto has been the most active among all OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) to offer quick arrangement of the latest firmware to the devices.
It has already released the Android 7.0 Nougat to four of its smartphones -- Moto Z (& Droid version), Z Force (& Droid version), Moto G4, the G4 Plus. This is the highest by any mobile vendor. Now, the company has reportedly received Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) certification for Droid Turbo 2, taking the company one step closer to release the update to the public.
If we follow the previous release pattern, Moto is expected to begin soak test on the Droid Turbo 2 by the end of this month and once convinced that there are no bugs in it, Moto will then roll-out the final version to the public in late February or early March.

Other Moto devices that are confirmed to get Android Nougat include Moto X Pure Edition (3rd Gen), Moto X Style, Droid Maxx 2, Moto Z Play and Moto Z Play Droid.
If you own the DROID Turbo 2/Moto X Force, then you could note the Android 7.0 update start to rollout at the end of this month or the beginning of next month. The update also includes an enhanced version of Doze.
