HMD Global started rolling out Android Pie update for Nokia 6 (2017) yesterday. The company even rolled out Android Pie for Nokia 8 in India. And now, HMD is rolling out this latest version of Android to Nokia 2.1.
As always, this announcement comes through Juho Sarvikas – Chief Product Officer at HMD Global – who tweeted “Get it while it’s hot! Our latest Android 9 Pie update is rolling out now. Nokia 2.1 just keeps getting better.”

The Nokia 2.1 was announced last year in May and was then launched in India later in August. The smartphone was launched with Android 8.1 Oreo, but, do note that it is an Android Go smartphone, so it shipped with Android Oreo (Go Edition). Well, this also means that the Android Pie update that’s rolling out for Nokia 2.1 right now is a lightweight version of Android Pie we see on non-Go smartphones.
