Nokia 2.1 receives Android 9 Pie software update


After pushing out the latest version of Android for the original Nokia 6, HMD Global has announced that they are now releasing Android 9.0 Pie for the Nokia 2.1. As usual, the news comes from Juho Sarvikas, the Chief Product Officer of HMD Global via his Twitter page.


The Nokia 2.1 was announced back in 2018 running Android 8.1 Oreo Go edition. With the new Android 9 Pie (Go Edition), the Nokia 2.1 becomes one of the first Android Go Edition phones to get Pie update.

Android Go is a lightweight edition of Googles original Android OS designed for entry-level smartphones. It first launched under the Oreo OS, but Google has since released the Pie version of the Go OS, touting it as a more efficient version bringing additional storage, faster boot times, better security, among other things.

The Nokia 2.1 features a 5.5-inch display with a 720 by 1280 pixel resolution, 8GB of internal storage which can be expanded through microSD, an 8MP rear camera, a 5MP front camera, a 4000mAh battery and is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 425 processor with 1GB of RAM.

This leaves the Nokia 5.1, Nokia 3.1, Nokia 3.1, and Nokia 1 as the final few handsets in HMD's lineup to be updated to Android Pie. HMD is ambitiously hoping to have their entire lineup running Android Pie by the end of Q2 2019.

Nokia 6 receives Android 9.0 Pie update


The Nokia 6 was the first Nokia branded smartphone from Finnish startup HMD Global back in 2017. You can still find the handset up for sale at very affordable prices. Starting today the original Nokia 6 is receiving its official Android 9.0 Pie software update.

The news was posted on Twitter by HMD Chief Product Officer Juho Sarvikas.


The Nokia 6 (2017) features a 5.5-inch display, 32GB of internal storage with microSD, a 16-megapixel rear camera, an 8-megapixel front camera, a fingerprint scanner, dual-SIM and a Snapdragon 430 chipset with up to 4GB of RAM.

It launched with Android Nougat and was updated to Android Oreo a little over a year ago. It even went on to receive the Android 8.1 update last Spring as HMD kept its commitment to keep its lineup "pure, secure, and up to date" for as long as possible. The Nokia 6 now joins devices like the Nokia 5.1 Plus, Nokia 6.1, Nokia 6.1 Plus, Nokia 7.1, and Nokia 7 Plus to offer the latest version of Android.

This leaves the Nokia 5.1, Nokia 3.1, Nokia 3.1, Nokia 2.1 and Nokia 1 as the final few handsets in HMD's lineup to be updated to Android Pie. HMD is ambitiously hoping to have their entire lineup running Android Pie by the end of Q2 2019.

Get $50 off the Nokia 6.1 at Best Buy


The mid-range Nokia 6.1 is a great option for anyone looking for an affordable Android smartphone, usually retailing for $250. However, Best Buy is currently offering the handset for only $179.99, which happens to be a $50 savings on its retail price.

The handset is brand new and unlocked, allowing you to activate on any GSM carrier in the U.S., including AT&T and T-Mobile. The purchase additionally includes free shipping. The handset comes with Android 8.0 Oreo, but you will be able to upgrade it to Android 9.0 Pie once you get it.

The Nokia 6.1 features a 5.5-inch display 1080p IPS display, 32GB of internal storage which can be expanded through microSD, a 16 MP Zeiss branded camera, a fingerprint reader, an 8 MP front camera, a 3000mAh battery and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor with 4GB of RAM.



Nokia 5 receives Android 9 Pie software update

Nokia 5 receives Android 9 Pie software update


The modest Nokia 5 which was originally released in 2017 with Android Nougat is now being updated to Android 9.0 Pie. Back in August, Nokia promised to bring the newest version of Android to its entire portfolio and has kept that promise alive so far with several of its handsets being updated to Android Pie.

HMD Global's Cheif Product Officer, Joho Sarvikas announced the update on Twitter:


Interestingly the Nokia 5 was released before the company unveiled its Android One handsets. Android One technically should be updated to newer versions of Android before its regular counterparts. However, HMD Global has still to release Android Pie for the newer Android One based Nokia 5.1.

In any case, HMD Global wants to complete its Android Pie updates by June 2019. This leaves the Nokia 2.1, Nokia 3.1, Nokia 3.1 Plus and Nokia 6 a short window to make the jump to the newer version of Android.

Nokia 8 Sirocco receives Android 9.0 Pie software update

Nokia 8 Sirocco receives Android 9.0 Pie software update

HMD Global is now pushing out the Android 9.0 Pie software update to the Nokia 8 Sirocco. The update comes a month after the company pushed Android Pie for the Nokia 8, and despite its flagship status follows its lower end siblings like the Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 6.1, Nokia 6.1 Plus and Nokia 7.1 in receiving the latest version of Android.

With Android Pie, the Nokia 8 Sirocco gains new features like App Actions, Slices, Adaptive Battery, new system navigation based on predictions and suggestions, and Digital Wellbeing functionality. Digital Wellbeing on your Android device lets you better manage your smartphone use with features like App Timers, Wind Down, and Do Not Disturb. As a member of the Android One family, the Nokia 8 Sirocco will offer a “pure Google” software experience. On top of the Android Pie features, HMD Global has also included the December Security update for Android.

According to NokiaPowerUser, the update is being pushed out to batches over-the-air and is reportedly 1.4GB in size. Once you receive the OTA update notification, it is recommended that you connect to strong Wi-Fi and have your device fully charged before initiating the update.

Nokia 9 PureView with five cameras leaks in video


A new video has leaked showing the long-rumored Nokia 9 PureView indicating that an official unveiling could be around the corner. The video shows a handset which looks very similar to the Nokia 8 Sirocco but featuring a five-camera setup on the rear.

This penta-lens camera is expected to improve efficiency in low-light situations and have the ability to re-focus images after they’re taken.

The handset is also expected to feature a 5.99-inch “PureDisplay” with support for HDR10 and an in-display fingerprint reader. You should also get at least 128GB of internal storage, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset and 6GB of RAM.

HMD Global acquired the PureView brand from Microsoft earlier this year and partnered with Zeiss last year to reunite the Nokia and Zeiss brands on their Android handsets. Even though the new Nokia 9 will carry the PureView branding, it is unlikely to feature the same image sampling technologies from the Nokia 808 or Lumia 1020.

The Nokia 9 PureView may be unveiled as early as January or during the 2019 Mobile World Congress in February.

Nokia 8 receives final Android 9.0 Pie software update

Nokia 8 receives final Android 9.0 Pie software update

After pushing out a public beta of Android Pie to their Nokia 8 customers last week, HMD Global announced today that the stable build of Android 9.0 was now being rollout in phases to all users.

The Nokia 8 follows the Nokia 6.1, Nokia 6.1 Plus, Nokia 7 Plus and Nokia 7.1 as the latest in HMD's stable of Nokia smartphones to receive the latest version of Android. By continuing this trend of stellar software support we only have the Nokia 8 Sirocco left to receive the latest version of Android.

The Nokia 8 is not an Android One product like some of its siblings, which would mean that it isn't restricted to giving customers the pure stock Android experience. But HMD Global is not known for tampering with the Android formula too much, so we should be seeing a fairly standard set of improvements to the device including the Adaptive Battery, Adaptive Brightness, intuitive navigation and various notification improvements along with security upgrades offered by Android Pie.

Get the Nokia 6.1 for just $179 on Amazon, Best Buy and B&H

The Nokia 6.1 is an affordable mid-range phone with a premium build and Android 9.0 Pie onboard. We've seen the handset discounted down to $229 a few months ago, and as low as $200 in early November. Now the handset has been discounted down to only $179 on Amazon.

This is an amazing price for this smartphone which features a 5.5-inch display 1080p IPS display, 32GB of internal storage which can be expanded through microSD, a 16 MP Zeiss branded camera, a fingerprint reader, an 8 MP front camera, a 3000mAh battery and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor with 4GB of RAM.




It appears that Amazon is not the only retailer offering the Nokia 6.1 at this discounted price. Best Buy along with B&H Photo Video are also offering the handset for $179 as part of this ongoing promotion.

Nokia 8 receives Android Pie public beta

Nokia 8 receives Android 9.0 software update

HMD Global has started seeding out Android 9.0 Pie for the Nokia 8, but only as part of a public beta program. We assume that once the beta is concluded successful, the update will be pushed out to all users around the world.

HMD Global breathed new life into the Nokia brand back in 2016, releasing solid yet affordable Android smartphones into the market and providing customers with stellar software support for their new devices.

HMD Global has already pushed the Android Pie update out to the Nokia 6.1, Nokia 6.1 Plus, Nokia 7 Plus and Nokia 7.1. While the update was initially scheduled to arrive for the Nokia 8 and Nokia 8 Sirocco in November, HMD's Chief Product Officer explained that (while) the Nokia brand remains committed to pushing updates “as fast as possible”, but alas, sometimes the unforeseen happens.

Now by announcing the release of Android 9 Pie for the Nokia 8 as a public beta, we see HMD is cautious about the release, ensuring it is bug-free before reaching the general public. If you would like to test out Android 9 Pie on your Nokia 8, head over to the Nokia Beta Labs page to get started.

HMD Global officially unveils the Nokia 8.1

HMD Global officially unveils the Nokia 8.1

HMB Global has officially unveiled the as the successor to the Nokia 7 Plus. The handset is the global variant of the China-exclusive Nokia X7 and aims to dominate the mid-range smartphone offering as a popular option for consumers.

In terms of design, the Nokia 8.1 borrows the classic, elegant design from its predecessor, offering the same two-tone finish with chrome inserts around the frame and the camera housing. The phone is built out of series 6000 aluminum and should be just as durable as the Nokia 7 Plus. However, it doesn't have any added protection from the elements, so it's safer not to use the Nokia 8.1 near a body of water.

The Nokia 8.1 is the second phone from HMD - after the Nokia 7.1 - to feature PureDisplay technology, with its 6.18-inch FHD+ panel certified for HDR10 content. The large notch on the front houses a 20MP camera with four-to-one pixel binning that lets you take detailed shots in low-light conditions.

On the rear, you will find the fingerprint scanner and dual cameras with an LED flash. You have a 12MP f/1.8 sensor (IMX 363) with Zeiss optics and a 13MP shooter that delivers "studio-level" portrait shots. The primary sensor has 1.4-micron pixels, and this time around it offers OIS.

The Nokia 8.1 also features the 'Bothie' feature, which lets you use both cameras to take photos from the rear and front simultaneously.

Nokia 8.1


In terms of hardware, the Nokia 8.1 comes with 64GB of internal storage with microSD support for up to 400GB. You get a 3500mAh battery with 18W fast-charging, Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 5.0, FM radio, VoWiFi, VoLTE, NFC, and a 3.5mm jack. The handset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 710 paired with 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM.

The Nokia 8.1 is also the first from the company to run Android 9.0 Pie out of the box and should keep receiving the latest Android updates thanks to being a part of the Android One family. Customers will get to savor all the newest features that come with Pie, including Adaptive Battery, App Actions, Digital Wellbeing, and much more.

The new Nokia handset will retail for €399 ($450), and the device will make its way to India and other global markets in the coming weeks. You can purchase it in one of three color options - Iron/Steel, Blue/Silver, and Steel/Copper. While a US release has not been confirmed, there is definitely a possibility.

Nokia 3.1 Plus announced with 6-inch display, dual rear cameras and affordable price

Nokia 3.1 Plus announced


After unveiling the Nokia 7.1 alongside the  Nokia True Wireless earbuds and  Nokia Pro Wireless earphones last week, HMD Global has unveiled the large yet ultra affordable Nokia 3.1 Plus as the newest member of its Android smartphone lineup.

Design

The Nokia 3.1 Plus is a large device with a 6-inch display with a notchless design. The device has an aluminum finish and will be available in three colors (blue, white and 'baltic'). You get a dual rear camera setup on the back of the device accompanied by a fingerprint sensor between the camera and Nokia logos.

The handset is tall instead of wide, adopting a 2:1 aspect ratio and symmetrical thin bezels for a budget friendly handset.

Display

The Nokia 3.1 Plus features a 6.0 inch 2.5D LCD display with a 720 by 1440 pixel resolution. While the resulting 268ppi pixel density isn't too impressive, its still a decent offering for an affordable smartphone of this size.


Camera

The handset comes with a dual cameras on the rear - A primary 13 megapixel phase detection autofocus camera coupled with a 5 megapixel depth sensor. The latter allows the camera to capture portrait photos with blurred backgrounds and assists accurate focus in low light.

Nokia 3.1 Plus - Camera

A secondary 8 megapixel wide-angle camera is available for video calling and to "fit more in your selfies".

Hardware

The Nokia 3.1 Plus has been outfitted with a MediaTek MT6750 processor, which helps keep its price low. You also get a 16GB storage odel with 2GB of RAM, while the 32GB model comes with 3GB.

Nokia 3.1 Plus - Display
You get microSD for storage expansion even if you go with the entry level model. You also get a 3.5mm headphone jack. HMD Global has opted for a micro USB port here, but that isn't a deal breaker in our opinion.


The handset is outfitted with a decent 3500mAh battery, which should easily give it a day of battery life. You even get NFC, allowing the device to be used with Google Pay.

Software

The Nokia 3.1 Plus comes with Android Oreo pre-installed and is part of the Android One family. What this means for the device is that it will be "pure, secure and up-to-date", so we expect Android Pie is likely headed to this handset.

Pricing and Availability

The Nokia 3.1 Plus is set to arrive in India on October 19, and will be priced at a very reasonable Rs. 11,499 (around $155). This model will come with 16GB of storage and 2GB of RAM as we mentioned above, and can be picked up in blue, white or grey (baltic). 

While there is no news on its availability in the US, we hope it will find its way to Western markets eventually.
