It’s great to hear that HMD Global has started rolling out the Android 14 update for Nokia-branded phones, starting with the Nokia G42 5G. The inclusion of the December 2023 security patch adds an extra layer of improvement to the device. The substantial 2.7GB download suggests significant changes and enhancements in the update.
It’s also promising that more Nokia phones running on Android 14, such as the Nokia G605 5G and Nokia X30 5G, have been spotted on Geekbench. This indicates that additional devices are likely to receive the update in the near future.
While the update is currently available in India, it’s good to know that HMD Global plans to expand its availability to more countries in the coming weeks, ensuring a broader reach for users globally. However, the reported slow pace of Android 14 updates for Nokia devices could be attributed to the company’s focus on launching its own smartphone brand, which is expected to be officially available in the United States through various carriers and retailers.
Nokia users who own the Nokia G42 5G and other eligible devices can look forward to an improved user experience with the latest Android version and security updates. Keep an eye on official announcements from HMD Global for information on when the Android 14 update will be available for other Nokia-branded phones in different regions.
