Nokia 7 Plus Stable Android 9 Pie Update Finally Starts Rolling Out

Adding to the steadily growing lineup of Android 9 Pie devices, HMD Global (the company now leading the charge of Nokia-branded phones) is finally rolling out the stable update that brings the latest flavor of Android to Nokia 7 Plus owners.

The Finnish giant had been testing Android 9 Pie on its popular mid-ranger, the Nokia 7 Plus, ever since the OS update was announced at Google I/O 2018 earlier this year. HMD Global pushed out the final Android 9 Pie beta update to users a couple weeks ago and it seems like Nokia 7 Plus owners, like me, can now rejoice that the stable Android 9 Pie update is here at last.

The Android 9 Pie stable update, which carries the build number V3.22C, weighs in at about 1.4GB in total and it does take some time to download and install, so be patient. We’d been testing the beta builds and the stable update appears to be free of any bugs, and glitches up until now.

 

As pointed out in the tweet (and screenshot) below, Android Pie arrives with “a plate of new features” to Nokia 7 Plus and this includes features such as the new colorful design, outlined icons, dark theme, gesture navigation that I’ve been trying to get used to since the beta, and all of your AI-powered goodness including Adaptive Battery, Adaptive Brightness and App Actions.

The highlight, however, would have to be the fact that Nokia 7 Plus is the first non-Pixel device to get access to Google’s Digital Wellbeing tools that are currently being tested in beta. It recently arrived to the device with a Play store update and users couldn’t be any more excited to try and curb their smartphone addiction with useful insights.

While Nokia also points out that the stable update brings along a new camera UI, Google Lens, and Motion integration, but the same arrived on the device about a month now. It was pretty buggy at the time and we’ll have to test out the update a little extensively to know better.

Even if the update has arrived a little later than expected, the Nokia 7 Plus now joins the likes of Google Pixel lineups, Essential PH-1, and OnePlus 6 to be running Android 9 Pie. Have you received the stable update on your Nokia 7 Plus yet? If yes, let us know your experience with the latest flavor of Android until now.

iPhone 12 to Have 5nm Processor, Qualcomm’s X55 5G Modem: Report

Apple is all set to launch its first 5G iPhones next year, and a new report out of Japan now claims that they will ship with Qualcomm’s X55 5G modem under-the-hood. According to multiple sources quoted by the Nikkei Asian Review , at least three of the devices the company will launch next year, will ship with 5G connectivity. “It will be the first time Apple introduces 5G iPhones … There will be three of them and the company has set an aggressive sales target” , said one of them. As per the report, the next-gen iPhone lineup will be powered by the A14 chip that will use the 5nm technology, making it significantly more power efficient than its predecessor, the A13 Bionic, found on the current-gen iPhone 11 lineup. At least two of the three new phones will also have what the report called ‘flexible’ OLED displays, although it’s not immediately clear what it meant by that term. In addition, Apple is also developing a new ‘3D-sensing rear-camera’ that is said to be able to “sense t...

Microsoft has already pushed the near-final release version of the Windows 10 November 2019 Update and is now focusing its efforts on the next major 20H1 update. We’ve been keeping track of the new features being tested with Insiders for some time now and well, the latest build, number 19013, brings improvements to the Linux subsystem, emoji tray, and Your Phone features. The highlights of Insider Build 19013 is the return of Power Toys. They’re special utilities that were made popular in the Windows 95 and Windows XP era, but had been nixed to make way for new features over the past few years. Well, they’ve now made a return to Windows 10 20H1 Insider builds this month, starting with 2 features, PowerRename and FancyZones. While PowerRename makes it possible for users to rename files in bulk, the FancyZones feature lets you drag apps into defined target positions on your PC. You can take a close look at the FancyZones feature right here . Apart from this, the Windows subsystem f...
