The first Nokia device to receive Android 14 is verified?


Android 14 is the next version of the Android OS, bringing features such as a Photo picker, themed app icons, language preferences, Notification Flashes, Camera and Battery Life Improvements, Lock screen Customizations, and more. This version, 14, was publicly released on October 4, 2023, and the first devices to ship with it will be the Pixel devices, specifically the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.

Nokia smartphones currently run on Android 13, and many of them are eligible for the major OS update. The question now is which device will be the first to receive Android 14. Is it the Nokia XR21, Nokia X30, Nokia G60 5G, or maybe one of the fixable ones like the Nokia G22 or G42 5G?

According to Geekbench test results, it appears that Nokia Mobile is currently testing Android 14 on its relatively successful Nokia G42 5G. The device scored 752 points on a single core and around 1897 points on a multi-core test. These results are similar to what the G42 scored on Android 13, indicating that the device’s performance won’t be adversely affected by the latest OS version.

Now that we know which device is a candidate to receive Android 14 first, the question that arises is when the update will be released. Will HMD Global release an update roadmap for Android 14 that will address these timing questions?
