HMD Global arrived promising to be one of the fastest smartphone companies rolling out Android updates. In fact, the Finnish company did well with the first Nokia smartphones, but low-end smartphones have been suffering to get the same treatment as high-end devices. As far as the Nokia 3.4 is concerned, we can say that it’s better late than never. Today, the entry-level smartphone is getting an Android 11 update. It’s a little late as Google is expected to roll stable Android 12 in a few days from now. However, that shouldn’t affect the Nokia 3.4 that much as the device probably won’t get Android 12 before 2022.
HMD Global announced the Android 11 rollout for the smartphone via its Nokia Phones Community. Interestingly, the update rollout is happening in waves. Therefore, the first wave is covering the following countries:
