Recently, HMD Global had announced that all the Nokia smartphones will eventually be updated to the latest Android 9.0 Pie. Now, the company has confirmed that the update will first be seeded to the Nokia 7 Plus.
At a Nokia 6.1 Plus launch event in New Delhi, India, the company’s CEO suggested that the Android Pie update for the Nokia 7 Plus will be rolled out in September this year but also added that the timeframe may differ based on the region.
We are expecting that after the Nokia 7 Plus, the update will be rolled out to Nokia 8 Sirocco and the newly launched Nokia 6.1 Plus. Later on, the update will be rolled out to every other Nokia smartphone, given that all the recently launched phones from HMD Global are part of Google‘s Android One program.
