Nokia 8.1 Becomes The First Phone Brand To Launch Official Android 10 Update by topmag2019: 11:31am On Oct 11, 2019

The heavyweight champion of the mobile world in terms of software support strikes again, delivering a swift Android 10 promotion for the upper mid-range Nokia 8.1 handset. Even though this is not the first non-Google device to receive an official update to the newest OS version, following in the footsteps of the Essential Phone, as well as the OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro, its achievement is made remarkable by the Snapdragon 710 processor under the hood.

Nokia 8.1While reasonably fast by any standards, that’s not a flagship SoC, and as you can imagine, the Nokia 8.1 becomes today the world’s first phone powered by said mid-end chip to run Android 10, bringing a lot of cool stuff like a system-wide dark theme, quicker and more intuitive gesture navigation, and overall performance enhancements to the table.

Nokia 8.1Android 10 upgrade for Nokia 8.1 starts today! First on SD710 to bring new features such as Dark theme, Gesture Navigation and more. Staying the course to be the first across the portfolio! Nokia phones #Keepgettingbetter #nokiamobile pic.twitter.com/U9g1jZHtA6



Today’s announcement doesn’t come as a surprise after exclusive global Nokia brand licensee HMD Global already confirmed before Android 10 was even released for Google’s own Pixels that three of its phones would receive the stable over-the-air update by the end of the year. What might be a little unexpected for some people is that the Nokia 8.1 has managed to beat the high-end Nokia 9 PureView to the punch.

Nokia 8.1Then again, the brand’s first flagship model in ages was kind of a dud, so we’re fairly certain you’re more excited to see Android 10 goodies rolled out this quarter to the Nokia 7.1 rather than the disappointing aforementioned high-ender. Keep in mind that both the 7.1 and 9 PureView are officially available in the US, at retail prices of $299 and $450 respectively, unlike the 8.1, which was “globally” released back in December 2018 after making its debut in China under the X7 name roughly a whole year ago.

The almighty of the past is struggling to reign again.

Overconfidence is bad. The guys that built Android first met Nokia to buy the Android, but Nokia turned down the offer, believing that Android could not dethrone Symbian. But at last, Android did not only dethrone Symbian, Android killed Symbian.
