HMD Global is one of the smartphone brands which is serious about pushing Android 10 update to the majority of its smartphones. Thanks to the Coronavirus outbreak, the Finnish upstart had to reschedule the entire rollout schedule, but that isn't stopping the company in fulfilling its promise though. Nevertheless, it is a bit underwhelming to see a flagship smartphone from HMD Global getting updated to Android 10 after the various budget and mid-range phones. For the unaware, the Nokia 8.1 was the first phone from HMD Global to get Android 10 update and that too back in September 2019 itself.
