Also, such major updates don’t roll out on all devices at the same time, they cover each region one by one in phases, so you have to patiently wait till the update gets released for your specific region. Nokia uses stock Android, so the updates always roll out for their devices much earlier than expected. However, not only you will get major updates quickly, but also you get all the security updates that Google releases monthly for more than two years.

Nokia might also launch the Nokia X6 globally soon as the device was spotted being certified by a Taiwanese�telecom.
