Nokia 3.1 Plus Could Be the Next Phone from HMD Global to Receive Android 9 Pie Update

HMD Global already has eight smartphones under its belt running the latest iteration of Android which is Android 9 Pie. It seems like HMD Global will soon add another smartphone to the list- Nokia 3.1 Plus as the phone has now spotted running Android 9 Pie on Geekbench benchmarking portal. Having said that, HMD Global must be testing the update internally because the company did not allow unlocking the bootloader of 3.1 Plus, so there are no chances that the phone is running a custom ROM. As of now, it’s unknown when the official rollout of Android 9 Pie to Nokia 3.1 Plus will begin, but surely, it’s on the cards. Other Nokia smartphones running Android Pie are Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 6.1 Plus, Nokia 6.1, Nokia 5.1 Plus, Nokia 8, Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 8.1 and Nokia 7.1.

Nokia 3.1 Plus to Become the First Sub-Rs 10,000 Phone to Receive Android Pie Update

HMD Global has recently slashed the price of Nokia 3.1 Plus and it’s now retailing for Rs 9,999. Once the Android 9 Pie rollout commences for Nokia 3.1 Plus, it will be the first device under Rs 10,000 to run Android Pie. The company already pushed the update to the Nokia 5.1 Plus which is priced around Rs 11,000 (currently available for Rs 9,999 as part of Flipkart’s Republic Day sale).

The Nokia 3.1 Plus is currently running Android 8.1 Oreo with December 2018 security patches. It’s entirely possible that the phone will receive Android 9 Pie update with January 2018 security later this month itself.
