HMD Global is one of the manufacturers that cares the most about bringing the latest version of Android to their devices. From low to high range, it is common to get Nokia smartphones with Android 10 nowadays.
Not a month goes by in which we do not receive a news that the update of said OS has reached one of its models. To certify the aforementioned, the Nokia 3.1 Plus is the one that is now welcoming the latest Google interface through a new OTA, something that happens about two weeks after the Nokia 1 Plus, one of the brand's most popular low-end terminals, has gotten the update.
It was again Juho Sarvikas, the Product Director (CPO) of HMD Global, who has announced the release of the new firmware package that adds Android 10 to the Nokia 3.1 Plus, a smartphone that was launched in October 2018, with the following words translated from English to Spanish:
«Android 10 release for Nokia 3.1 Plus starts today! Access the new features now and update your phone experience. Head to our community for more details and availability in different countries. » These were posted through a publication made on his Twitter account.

The Nokia 3.1 Plus hit the market with Android 8.1 Oreo at first. He has since gotten the update to Android 9 Pie and right now to Android 10. Anyone would assume that the latter would be his last major update, but it is said that the terminal will also be eligible for Android 11, once it arrives definitively in the following months of this year.
If this happens, HMD Global would be teaching a huge lesson to other manufacturers who delay or, worse still, never provide a major update to some of their phones. Similarly, HMD Global is already an example in the industry when it comes to firmware updates. This is something the Finn boasts very well.
On the other hand, Android 10 update for this device weighs 1.24GB and it comes with the Android security patch that corresponds to the month of April. The update is also expected to roll out to 10% of devices today, 50% by May 16, and 100% by May 18. After May 18 it should already be scattered around the world for all units.
To remember, the Nokia 3.1 Plus is a mobile that has low features. This contains an IPS LCD technology screen that measures 6.0 inches in diagonal, which is held by typical bezels of the time, in which we do not find any notch, kind of cutout or perforation on the screen, but, rather, the heavily used thick top and bottom frames and narrow sides.
The resolution produced by the panel of this model is HD + of 720 x 1,440 pixels, which makes an 18: 9 format no longer seen in new mobiles say "present". Add to that the fact that a Mediatek Helio P22 chipset is housed under the hood of the phone along with 2/3 GB RAM and 16/32 GB internal storage space. We also find a battery that boasts of a 3,500 mAh capacity with technology for 10 W charging.
The camera system that we see in the Nokia 3.1 Plus is double, the common of that period. In question, a 13 MP main sensor, along with a 5 MP lens for the bokeh mode field blur effect, are located vertically linearly on the back cover, just above the physical fingerprint reader.
The front camera, which is dedicated to taking selfies, making video calls, facial recognition and more, consists of a resolution of 8 megapixels, at the same time in which the dimensions and weight of the Nokia 3.1 Plus are given as 156.9 x 76.4 x 8.2 mm and 180 grams, respectively.
