Nokia 3 (2017) was released with Android 7.0 Nougat out-of-the-box but was subsequently upgraded to Android 8.0 and 8.1 Oreo. It is quite impressive that an entry-level smartphone is getting such enormous support. The Android 9 Pie update for Nokia 3 (2017) has the version number V5.120 and comes with May 2019 security patch as well as other features such as system navigation, adaptive battery, and adaptive brightness. As usual, this is an OTA update thus all units will not receive it at the same time.
