HMD Global releases the February security update for Nokia 3 and 8 devices mere days after Google’s rollout

HMD Global is continuing with its work of releasing Android updates in an extremely timely manner.

This is surprising in a really good way because other companies take weeks, if not months, to update the Android security patch in their OS to the latest version available. According to the changelogs reported by GSMArena , the updates for both the Nokia 8 and Nokia 3 contain the security fixes. The size of the update for Nokia 8 is 87 MB and 80 MB for Nokia 3. This comes days after HMD Global started beta testing  an Android 8.1 Oreo-based OS for the Nokia 8.

Last but not the least, the report also points out that the update is only rolling out for India and Jordan and that the update for the Nokia 3 is limited to users in India at the time of writing.
