Better late than never.
Highlights:
- Nokia 3.1 Plus is now receiving the Android 9 Pie update
- The update was supposed to arrive in January
The Nokia 3.1 Plus is finally getting its fair share of the pie. According to a tweet sent out by Juho Sarvikas, HMD Global’s Chief Product Officer yesterday, Android 9 Pie is rolling out to the Nokia 3.1 Plus. Users of the phone can expect to see an update notification pop up in the coming days. The budget-friendly Nokia 3.1 Plus joins the company’s previous flagship smartphone, the Nokia 8 Sirocco, which got its Pie update only last month.
If we compare the actual delivery date of the Nokia 3.1 Plus’ Android Pie update with Nokia’s update roadmap, which Sarvikas published on Twitter in January, we’ll see that the Finnish smartphone company is a whole month behind on schedule. The roadmap claims to bring the Pie update to the Nokia 3.1 Plus in “January 2019”. Clearly, that’s not the case.
Smartphones still waiting to be updated in Nokia’s stable include the Nokia 3 and the Nokia 1. The Nokia 2.1 received its Android Pie update just five days ago. Along with the Go Edition of Android 9 Pie, the smartphone received the February 2019 security patch and 500 megabytes of additional storage with the claim of reduced boot time. The Nokia 1, of course, will be also receiving the Go Edition of the software. However, we’re not sure if it too will get some additional storage space.
The Nokia 3.1 Plus, which has been in the Indian smartphone market since October 2018, is powered by a MediaTek Helio P22 chipset and 3GB of RAM. Storage is 32GB with an option to expand it up to 400GB. The Nokia 3.1 Plus has a 6-inch HD+ display with an 18:9 aspect ratio. The rear of the phone sports a dual camera (13-megapixel + 5-megapixel) and the front has a single 8-megapixel selfie shooter. The battery on it is a 3,500mAh unit. The Nokia 3.1 Plus costs Rs 9,999, according to the official website.
