The Nokia smartphones run stock Android and belong to the Android One program. Eventually, these phones will get two years of OS updates. Confirming the same, the company already rolled out the Android Pie update to a few of its offerings.

Earlier this month, the update roadmap for four smartphones was leaked online. Going by the same, the Nokia 6.1 and Nokia 6.1 Plus will get the Android 9.0 Pie update in October and the Nokia 8 and Nokia 8 Sirocco will receive the same in November.
