Original Story:
Yesterday, HMD Global released the Android 10 update for the Nokia 3.1. The update comes more than a quarter later after it was promised. Of all the devices scheduled to get the Android 10 update, the only one left is the Nokia 5.1, and there is a high chance it will be available today.
When the Nokia 3.1 Android 10 update announcement was made, a Twitter user asked Juho Sarvikas, the Chief Product Officer at HMD Global, when the update will be available for the Nokia 5.1. His response was “Give us like ~24h”. This means the update should be announced today or latest by tomorrow.
Give us like ~24h 🤞

The Nokia 5.1 was released in 2018 with Android 8.0 Oreo. The Helio P18-powered phone was updated to Android Pie last year and the coming Android 10 update will be its second major OS upgrade.
Since the Nokia 5.1 is the last Nokia device to be updated to Android 10, we expect HMD Global to release its Android 11 update roadmap soon. Actually, the roadmap was accidentally posted last month but the tweet was deleted. The shared image also had some missing devices, so there is a chance that the new one will have more phones on the list.
UP NEXT: Nokia 9.3 PureView, Nokia 7.3, and Nokia 6.3 to launch in November
