Android 11 Rollout Schedule for Nokia Smartphones
I bet almost every one of you will be familiar with the fact that HMD Global provides a stock Android experience with Nokia phones. There’s no bloat or ads and you only get Google apps (apart from the camera app) out-of-the-box. The Finnish giant offers just two major software updates for its portfolio. This means many of its popular phones, such as my favorite Nokia 7 Plus or Nokia 6 Plus, will not get theAndroid 11update.
The latest flavor of Android 11 does not bring a major visual overhaul. You do have a slightly revamped notifications center with a conversation view and the music player baked in the quick settings menu. You also get Bubbles support for messaging apps, improved new permissions model, native screen recorder, and more.
