Nokia 7 Plus Starts Receiving Stable Android 9 Pie Update

As promised, HMD Global has started the rollout of stable Android 9 Pie update to the Nokia 7 Plus. This news was announced by Juho Sarvikas, Chief Product Officer at HMD Global on Twitter stating ‘Everybody wants a piece of the Pie! We are starting the rollout of Android 9 on Nokia 7 Plus. Which of its delicious new features is your favourite?” The update is slightly delayed as at the launch event of Nokia 6.1 Plus and 5.1 Plus last month, the Finnish upstart company stated the Android 9 Pie update would be rolled out to the 7 Plus in the first half of September. But recently, Sarvikas confirmed that they ran into some certification issues which caused the delay. Nevertheless, the stable update rollout has just started and it will reach your Nokia 7 Plus in the next few days.

Nokia 7 Plus Android 9 Pie Update: How to Install

Juho Sarvikas did not reveal how they’re rolling out the update, whether it’s a staged rollout or a complete rollout. Usually, smartphone brands release updates in a phased manner so that if the received users confirm any bugs, they’ll halt the rollout, fix them and begin the rollout again. Maybe, HMD is also following the same, but I did receive the stable Android 9 Pie update weighing 1471.3MB on my Nokia 7 Plus. Do make a note that am registered on the Nokia’s Developer Preview programme.

So if you’re a Nokia 7 Plus user, head over to Settings>System>About Phone> Check for Update. The update comes with the version number 3.22C. Once you receive the update, wait for the installation to finish. Since the Nokia 7 Plus supports seamless updates, you just have to wait for the installation to complete; It might take 15 minutes for the process to finish. Once it finishes, just reboot your smartphone.
