My 6.1 is running Android 9 with Nov 1 security update

Think it depends on the distribution stock/time you got em?

Some are Android one, and others pre one no?. Of course the provider can control security releases. But basic guarantee they'll get to at least 9/10 anyway.

https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_int/security-updates is a good indicator, with majority listed at lease 8(5.1) or 8.1/9(6.1)

Nokia 6.1 (Spark supplied, on Spark network)

Android version: 9
Security patch level: 1 November 2018

Yeah, but 8.0 is the reason my 5.1 rests on a shelf. Android 8.0 memory management is too aggressive (buggy?).

My Nokia 5 got upgraded today to Android 9 and January security patch.   1663 mb download, all went well.

Posted here because I think the Nokia 5 thread is now closed.
