Stable Android 11 update finally goes live for Nokia 8.3 5G in several countries

HMD Global is kicking off the stable Android 11 rollout for the Nokia 8.3 5G. According to the company’s official timeframe, the Nokia 8.3 was supposed to receive the Android 11 update in Q4 2020, but it’s only now — one month later — that the company is fulfilling its promise. Better late than never, as the saying goes, the Nokia 8.3 5G should be more than happy to get their hands on the newest iteration of Android.

As officially announced in a post over at Nokia Community, the Android 11 update for the Nokia 8.3 5G will be delivered in two batches. The first wave is kicking off today with the update already seeding to the Nokia 8. 3 5G owners in Europe, the U.S., the UK, and several Middle East countries.
