The Nokia 3.1 Plus has been spotted running Android 9.0 Pie on popular benchmarking site Geekbench, and, there actually are multiple Geekbench listings of Nokia 3.1 Plus with Android Pie which indicate that the smartphone will soon receive the Android Pie update.
For those unaware, the Nokia 3.1 Plus was launched last year in October with Android 8.1 Oreo. The Nokia 3.1 Plus is an Android One smartphone which means it runs stock version of Android and comes with the promise of two years of Android version updates and three years of security updates.
The Nokia 3.1 Plus is powered by MediaTek’s Helio P22 SoC which is paired with 2 or 3 GB RAM. The 2 GB RAM variant comes with 16 GB of storage whereas the 3 GB RAM variant comes with 32 GB of storage. However, HMD only launched the 3 GB RAM variant in India with a price tag of ₹11,499.
