Android P update coming to all of HMD Global’s Nokia smartphones released so far
July 03, 2025
Android Pis coming to all of HMD Global’s Nokia smartphones, from the Nokia 1 all the way up to theNokia 8 Sirocco, and including the newly announcedNokia 2.1, Nokia 3.1, and Nokia 5.1.
Prior to the launch of HMD’s refreshed trio of low-end devices, the company’s global marketing manager, Neil Broadley, confirmed that the latest major version of Android will come to the entire Nokia portfolio as part of its commitment to the “pure, secure, and up-to-date” mantra.
The news shouldn’t be too surprising to those keeping a close eye on the calendar.
All of the Nokia devices runningAndroid One— the Nokia 8 Sirocco,Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 6.1, Nokia 5.1, and Nokia 3.1 — are all within the two-year guarantee period Google demands for flagship updates.
Likewise, HMD Globalpreviously promisedthat the first generation of Nokia phones — the Nokia 3, Nokia 5, Nokia 6, and Nokia 8 — will all be updated to Android P.
That just leaves us with the Nokia 2 and theAndroid Goduo: the Nokia 1 and the fresh-faced Nokia 2.1. Not to worry, though, as HMD confirmed that all three will enjoy all the benefits of the as-yet-unnamed OS upgrade, with the latter two rocking a streamlined version for entry-level devices.
WithAndroid fragmentationstill a broader concern, it’s great to see HMD Global fully commit to timely updates across its entire range, as well as three years of security patches for all Android One models. The Nokia 7 Plus is also one of a small number of phones that iscompatible with the Android P Beta.
What do you think of HMD’s approach? Should more OEMs follow suit? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
