Android 9 Pie rollout started for Nokia 6.1 Plus; The 8 and 8 Sirocco are next
As promised, HMD Global has started the rollout of Android 9 Pie for the Nokia 6.1, as we learned yesterday, and for the notched Nokia 6.1 Plus today.
The update for 6.1 Plus went live today, with HMD’s CPO Juho Sarvikas announcing the happy moment on Twitter. Earlier this month, Nokia Mobile started Beta Testing Pie for the 6.1 Plus, and it is great to see Pie exiting Beta Labs quickly. The update is around 1350MB in size and carries the version number V3.30B. Keep in mind, everyone won’t receive it at the same time, a few weeks could pass until everyone gets it (at least so was the case with 7 plus).
Another day. Another update. Happy to announce that the Nokia 6.1 Plus now runs on Android 9 Pie #Nokiamobile #AndroidOne ? pic.twitter.com/Spls0myFbA

Next up for Android Pie are Nokia 8 and Nokia 8 Sirocco, as HMD Global already announced. The two flagships are scheduled to receive Android 9 Pie in November. Considering the 7.1 shares the same chipset with Nokia 6.1 Plus, owners of the new Nokia 7.1 can expect a soon update to Pie, too.
Nokia 3, 5, 6 and 8 of 2017 will also get ?. This hopefully helps understand why everything cant happen at the same time https://t.co/k6GWhHFTMM

HMD’s CPO also confirmed, if anyone has questioned that, that last year’s Nokia 3, 5 and 6 will also be updated to Pie.
If you have a 6.1 Plus and got Pie, leave a comment down below. 🙂
