Nokia 7.1 To Receive Android 9 Pie Update, Along With Five Other Nokia Smartphones

HMD Global plans to port Android 9 Pie to three existing Nokia smartphones this month. According to AndroidCentral, Nokia 7.1, Nokia 6.1, and Nokia 6.1 Plus would receive the new Google OS version by the end of October, while Nokia 8 and Nokia 8 Sirocco would update to Android 9 Pie by the end of November.

The fact of offering handsets powered by Android One, clearly allows Nokia to get ahead of its competitors in updating their systems to the new Android 9 Pie. And indeed, thanks to the use of this platform, which provides a pure Android experience, HMD Global can deploy updates faster than other manufacturers. As an example, the Nokia 7 Plus received the stable version of Android 9 Pie last week. Owners of that model can already take advantage of the improvements brought by the new version of Google’s OS for mobiles.

And it seems that the Chinese manufacturer wants to update three other handsets to the new Android 9 Pie. These would be Nokia 6.1, 6.1 Plus, and Nokia 7.1. Accordingly, the before-mentioned devices would receive the latest OS update by the end of October.

Android 9 Pie to reach Nokia 7.1, Nokia 6.1, and Nokia 6.1 Plus soon

Nokia 7.1 is a relatively new product which launched with Android 8.1 Oreo. However, it will soon receive Android 9 Pie update, which is excellent news for the device’s owners. Once again, HMD Global is very responsive in updating their terminals to new Android versions, compared with the other manufacturers are slow to deploy new upgrades.

Additionally, Nokia 6.1, Nokia 6.1 Plus and Nokia 7.1 will not be the only ones to benefit from the new version of Android shortly. According to AndroidCentral, the Nokia 8 and Nokia 8 Sirocco will also get Android 9 Pie in November.

That being said, the list of Nokia smartphones to get Android 9 Pie will include at least six devices by the end of next month. For the moment, we don’t have any indication yet about the OS porting to other models. So far, we only know that Nokia 7.1, Nokia 6.1, Nokia 6.1 Plus, Nokia 8, and Nokia 8 Sirocco would receive Android 9 Pie.

Nokia 7.1 Announced Officially With A Notch and Two-Camera System on The Back

HMD Global continues its journey in the smartphone industry with the brand Nokia. Now, Nokia 7.1, a remake of the Nokia 7, is official. Unfortunately, the new model doesn’t come out with many improvements, at least, when compared with other devices of its range from other manufacturers, be them Chinese smartphone producers.

The new Nokia 7.1 comes with a notch and thin edges

When HMD started his journey as the new Nokia smartphone manufacturer, the company decided to go alone, without paying much attention to the path and trends that the competition was following. However, fortunately, they have not been slow in assuming some of the new trends as is the case of the notch and two-camera system in the new Nokia 7.1.

The new Nokia 7.1 boasts a screen that occupies much of the front side of the smartphone, only the bottom showing a thicker edge, while a notch at the top houses the sensors and terminal’s selfies camera. This display has 5.84 inches and is designed with the PureDisplay Full HD technology with a screen ratio of 19: 9, something that is already becoming trendy for the mid- high-range smartphones.

Nokia 7.1 technical specs

Checking out the new Nokia 7.1 technical specs, we observe that the new device doesn’t have significant changes over its predecessor. Accordingly, Nokia 7.1 boasts a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset as a processor and a two-camera system on its back, with Zeiss optics and 12+5 megapixels sensors. On the front, the device packs an 8-Mp selfies camera.

Also, the new Nokia 7.1 comes out in two variants, one with 3 Gb RAM and 32 Gb of internal memory and another with 4 Gb RAM 64 Gb storage space. Both models support microSD cards.

HGM Global just announced the new Nokia 7.1 but didn’t reveal an exact release date. Also, we should expect this model to cost around $300. Most probably, the handset’s price will not exceed that level.
