HMD Global announced the Nokia 1.3 in March 2020. It is an entry-level smartphone with modest specs. The handset debuted with Android 10 Go Edition. Now, nearly one and a half years after its release, the phone has started receiving Android 11 Go Edition update.

According to the official announcement post (via GSMArena) on Nokia Phones Community, the Android 11 Go Edition update for the Nokia 1.3 is currently only available for users in Australia. The post states that the software build should be rolled out to 100% of the units by July 24, which happens to be today.

Unfortunately, HMD Global does not state when the remaining regions will be getting the update. However, it does say that the second wave will include all the regions. This means whenever the next wave rollout begins, the update should be available in all other markets.

As mentioned in the beginning, the Nokia 1.3 is an entry-level smartphone from the Finnish company. It features a 5.71-inch HD+ display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 215 chipset, 1GB RAM, 16GB internal storage, 8MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, single/dual-SIM, 4G, single-band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2, MicroUSB port, and a 3,000mAh removable battery.

Android 11 Go Edition is likely the first and the last major software update for this handset. But it should receive security updates for some time.
