When will my Nokia phone receive the Android 11 update?
Nokia mobile will start the rollout of the Android 11 update starting in the Q4 2020 (October – December) with the Nokia 8.3 5G taking the priority spot. They expect to complete the role of updates to all of the eligible smartphones by (the end end of) Q2 2021 (April – June). Nokia Mobile has kept a mix of new and old devices in each phase to give a divided focus to old and new devices.
Nokia 8.3 5G (⌛): Q4 2020 – Nokia 8.3 will be the first Nokia to receive the Android 11 update. Nokia did not disclose a specific month or a date but we can expect the update to roll out sometime in the middle of November to early December.
Nokia 2.2 (⌛), Nokia 5.3 (⌛) & Nokia 8.1 (⌛): Q4 2020 – Q2 2021 (expected in late December to early January) – These devices are also listed alongside the Nokia 8.3. So, we can expect these devices to receive the update sometime after the 8.3 receives it.
Nokia 1.3 (⌛), Nokia 4.2 (⌛), Nokia 2.4 (⌛), Nokia 2.3 (⌛), Nokia 3.4 (⌛): Q1 2021 – Nokia aims to update its new as well as old entry-level devices in the Q1 2021.
Nokia 3.2 (⌛), Nokia 6.2 (⌛), Nokia 7.2 (⌛): Q1 – Q2 2021 – These devices are listed around the overlap of Q1 and Q2 in 2021 so we can expect the updates to roll out in the period of March to April. The Nokia 6.2 and Nokia 7.2 are nearly identical devices. So, both of these devices should receive the update at the same time or with a minor time difference.
Nokia 1 Plus (⌛) & Nokia 9 PureView (⌛): Q2 2021 (April to June) – The last devices in the list of Nokia’s Android 11 roadmap are the Nokia 1 Plus and the Nokia 9 PureView. These devices will receive the Android 11 update sometime in the period of April to June 2021.
