It is revealed through a research that over 96% of Nokia devices that are powered by Android OS have Android 9 Pie installed on them. This is either through a Software Update or Out of the Box. This Finnish company came back into the Smartphone industry through a tie up with another Finnish company – HMD Global. By the early 2017, it had over 30 smartphones and just one from these 30 devices is still stuck on Android Nougat OS.
Nokia 2 is the Android Nougat OS based device that was released in the late 2017. This was unveiled as an Entry level device with the main objective of long battery. But hey, if you are a heavy user focusing on multitasking, web browsing, video streaming or light gaming, then this wouldn’t be the device to have.
It is because of this weak hardware that the Nokia team is still undergoing the development methods and updating the Nokia 2 based on Android Nougat. While users are wondering about the Android Oreo build, here is what the response from HMD was – “Users should be aware that the performance of Nokia 2 on Oreo may not to be the same level as enjoyed with Nougat. In addition, some applications may not be supported.”
For those who went for Android Oreo on the Nokia 2 in the face of warnings received the update to August Security Patch a couple of weeks ago. The Verizon also rolled out the same update for Nokia 2 V.
And as of now, the ones who stuck to their Android Nougat on Nokia 2 are receiving the same update as version E1M-068O-0-00WW-B02 and weight of about 80 MB which is common for a monthly security patch. Nokia 2 Android Nougat based August security update now live. The Download Links have been mentioned here.
