HMD Global has been busy releasing the latest
Android Pie update for its smartphones. Last month, the update was released for Nokia 5 (2017), and earlier this week it was
made available for Nokia 6 (2017).
HMD Global Chief Product Officer Juho Sarvikas has now confirmed that the Android Pie update is rolling for the
Nokia 2.1 Android Go smartphone.
The tweet by Sarvikas suggests that the update is being released over-the-air (OTA). Since it is an
Android Go phone, the company may have released the Go edition of the
Android 9 Pie OS. The Finnish firm is yet to release a changelog of the update. Hence, the exact details of what’s included in the Android 9 Pie update is not known yet. Since it is an OTA update, the notification of the arrival of the Pie update will soon show up on
Nokia 2.1 handsets. Alternatively, users can manually check whether the update is available by navigating to Settings -> About Phone -> System Updates.
