Ever since HMD Global brought Nokia brand back to the smartphone market, it has put emphasis on providing regular software support for all of its smartphones. These not only include high-end or mid-range phones but also the entry-level budget devices. One such device is the Nokia 3 which is now receiving the much-awaited Android 9 Pie update.

It was updated to Android Oreo a year later and now within two years of release, it is being updated to the latest Android Pie. It means HMD Global has kept its promise of guaranteed software updates for two years which is something most Android OEMs fail to deliver.
