Original story as follows…

Nokia shared its own Android 11 update roadmap back in October. Accordingly, the Nokia 2.3 was supposed to get it in Q1 2021. However, only after a week into Q2, the company has started the Android 11 rollout for Nokia 2.3.

In a Twitter post, the company says that it has finally started rolling out the Android 11 update for Nokia 2.3. On checking inside the Nokia community, we find that the company has detailed the rollout schedule of the update.

Accordingly, the post says that to ensure a smooth rollout, the company has split the update into waves. The first wave of updates will hit the 18 countries as below:

Here, the 10% of the countries above will get it immediately while the rollout will 50% and 100% of the markets by April 10 and April 12 respectively. So, if you are anyone living in the countries above, you can check for the OTA update in your settings and you should get it by April 12.

Nokia 2.3 launched towards the fag end of 2019 in Egypt and later, came to countries like India. Speaking of which, it is interesting to note that India isn’t on the list of countries that are getting the Android 11 update in the first wave.
