The Nokia 8.3 5G and Nokia 5.3 are scheduled to receive the Android 11 update in Q4 2020. HMD Global has released its schedule for updating its compatible phones to the latest Android 11 software. The newly released Nokia 8.3 5G and Nokia 5.3 are the first to receive the update. The company says that older phones like Nokia 2.2 and Nokia 8.1 will also be among the first batch to receive the newest Android 11 software.
HMD Global announced that the Android 10 rollout has been completed for all supported phones, the latest being Nokia 3.1 and Nokia 5.1. The company has announced that it will release the Android 11 update starting in the fourth quarter of 2020.
The first phones to receive the update will be the Nokia 8.3 5G and the Nokia 5.3. Both phones were released in March this year and were guaranteed to receive two years of Android version updates.
In addition to these two phones, HMD Global has also revealed the release of Android 11 for older phones like Nokia 2.2 and Nokia 8.1. These phones are promised to receive the new software sometime this year. The recently released Nokia 3.4 will not only get the Android 11 update but also Android 12.
Android 11 offers a dedicated space for conversations in messaging applications in the notifications section, built-in screen recording, bubbles for multitasking and much more. Android 11 also includes a feature that automatically resets permissions for apps that haven’t been used in a while, allowing only recent apps to access personal data. With this update, new digital wellness tools like focus mode and bedtime mode have also been introduced. There are also redesigned multimedia controls, Android Auto wireless functionality, and more.
Google Pixel phones received the Android 11 update first and the rollout started early last month. HMD Global also includes pure Android software with its phones, allowing you to release quick updates on your phones.
