Last month, HMD Global launched a range of smartphones in the Indian market, including Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 8 Sirocco and Nokia 6 (2018). The Nokia 7 Plus has now received a new over-the-air (OTA) update, which brings the dual VoLTE support to the smartphone.
Till now, the Nokia 7 Plus supported 4G VoLTE in SIM 1 but the SIM 2 was limited to 3G connectivity. With this new update, both SIM 1 and SIM 2 slots will support 4G VoLTE connectivity. The update comes with the version number V2.22A and also brings other changes such as user interface enhancements, improved system stability, and the latest May 2018 Android security patch.
During the launch of the smartphone, Nokia had also promised that it will roll out an update which will enable Face Unlock feature of the Nokia 7 Plus. However, the Face Unlock feature has not yet been enabled on the smartphone.
The Nokia 7 has also been named among the few eligible devices that will receive the recently announced Android P Developer Preview 2. Users who are interested to test out the new Android P Beta can sign up for the Developer Preview 2 OTA update on Nokia’s website here.
Not many smartphones support dual 4G VoLTE connectivity. However, there are a few devices available in India that supports such feature, including the Honor View 10, Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1, and the recently launched Oppo smartphone Realme 1.
