2017 saw the return of Nokia to the smartphone market, thanks to a new licensee, HMD Global Oy. That year saw the release of phones like the Nokia 6, Nokia 5, Nokia 3, and the flagship Nokia 8.
All the aforementioned phones have received two major OS updates since they launched as well as regular security updates just as HMD Global promised. Now, the manufacturer is promising an extra year of security updates for them.
HMD Global says it will release quarterly updates for the phones. Starting from next month, the Nokia 3 will receive quarterly updates up until September 2020 while the Nokia 5, Nokia 6, and Nokia 8 will begin to get their quarterly security patches starting October 2019 up until October 2020. The security patch that arrives will also include changes from the previous patches.
Sadly, this extension will not include the US and Indian Amazon version of the Nokia 6. Updates for this version will cease in October 2019. The Nokia 2 will also stop receiving updates in November 2019.
