Infinix Smart 2 starts receiving its bite of the Android 9 Pie. The update has been rolled out starting from 24 December.

The smartphone entered the Indian market under the budget-friendly section. It had been launched with the Android 8.1 Oreo on top of the company's custom XOS 3.3.0.

The Infinix Smart 2 is the first phone by the company to receive an Android Pie update.

The update might be available in the form of an over-the-air (OTA) package in phases.

Also, you can check if the update has reached your Smart 2 by going to Settings, then clicking on System and then System Update.

To recall the Infinx Smart 2 sports 5.45-inch HD+ FullView LCD panel with an 18:9 aspect ratio.
