El Nokia 3 It is a low-end phone that Nokia launched in 2017. Low-end mobiles don't usually stand out for updating a lot, but this is different at Nokia, giving this phone its second major update.
That is, the Nokia 3 receives Android 9 Pie, as confirmed on Twitter by Juho Servikas, the CPO (Chief Product Officer) of HMD Global, the company that owns Nokia.
Nokia 3 with Android 9 Pie
The folks at Nokia promised, even the Nokia 3, despite being one of their more modest phones, would receive two big Android updates, and it has. The Nokia 3, which launched in 2017 with Android 7 Nougat (the latest version at the time), finally receives its latest major update with Android 9 Pie.
Although it may seem a bit late to receive the update to Android Pie, being Android Q just around the corner, the truth is that we are very happy that it is received now, since in low-end phones manufacturers tend to neglect it more and make an update or even no update.
Nokia promised that the phone would receive Android 9 Pie during 2019, and it has been in the middle of the year, since many users are already receiving the update, so if you are the owner of this phone, we are sure that it will not take you long to receive it.
A good update policy
The truth is that Nokia is very well on track when it comes to updates with their phones, and we would like more manufacturers to update the same number of phones and with the same number of updates as the Finnish company is doing.
The Nokia 3 despite its modest features consisting of a Mediatek 6737 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and a plastic body that mounts a five-inch screen with HD resolution, has been one of the best-selling phones in the world. company since its revival back in 2016. And perhaps this promise of two years of updates has driven those sales.
It is curious to see companies that both in their lowest-end phone (which is not the lowest-end one we have, since there is the Nokia 2, but almost) and their flagship, in this case the Nokia 9 PureView, share operating system because the low-end has updated.
Fragmentation is what all Android makers should fight and fight for, in much the same way as Nokia does.
