Late last month, HMD Global rolled out Android 9.0 Pie update for Nokia 7 Plus, making it the first Nokia smartphone to run this latest version of Android. And then earlier this month, HMD Global released a list of Nokia smartphones that are in line to get Android Pie next. One of those smartphones included Nokia 6.1, which is now receiving the Android Pie update.
HMD said that the Nokia 6.1 would receive the Android Pie update in October, and, staying true to its promise, HMD Global has started rolling out the Android Pie update for Nokia 6.1 just a day before the month of October comes to an end.
The Android Pie update rolling out for Nokia 6.1 carries version number V3.260 and weighs more than 1.4 GB in size. Being an Android Pie update, it brings in features like App Actions, Adaptive Brightness, and new System Navigation.
