Nokia 9 PureView is the first phone from HMD Global that will not receive its second Android version upgrade, but users do not need to be disappointed.
Nokia 9 PureView will not receive Android 11, HMD Global has announced. The flagship phone from 2019 has become the first not to stick to the company’s two-year upgrade cycle for Android versions. The phone last year received Android 10 software, but this time HMD cited compatibility issues as reasons behind the unfortunate decision. Nokia 9 PureView users, however, can experience Android 11 through HMD’s compensatory offer under which they can buy the Nokia XR20 at 50 per cent off. “…we had to make the tough decision not to offer an Android 11 software upgrade for the Nokia 9 PureView smartphone. Incompatibilities between the camera and software would lead to a reduction in user experience, which would not meet our high standards,” said HMD Global on its Nokia 9 PureView support page.
