HMD is keeping its word when it comes to Android updates. The company had committed to two years of software upgrades for its devices and has made sure that promise holds true, regardless of price and positioning. Today, the last hold-out in the line-up, the Nokia 1, is receiving its own slice of Pie, just in time before the end of Q2. And HMD can finally say that its entire portfolio of smartphones is running Android 9.
The Nokia 1 was introduced last year as a cheap Android Go Edition device. At $90 approximately and with just 1GB of RAM, it isn’t very impressive, but it might serve as a good first smartphone for newcomers. The fact that it’s receiving an update at all is commendable, especially considering there are more expensive and powerful devices from other companies that have yet to get a taste of Pie.
Excited to share that our most affordable smartphone, Nokia 1, upgrades to Android 9 Pie starting today. Now there is a Nokia smartphone for everyone running Pie – bringing to you the latest experiences from Google. Nokia phones just keep getting better #Getsmart #Nokiamobile pic.twitter.com/BYONKx6q5n
