The first wave of smartphones to get it will be the ones powered by the Snapdragon 600-series processors. Next to get it the following month will include the Nokia 6.1 and 6.1 Plus, and the Nokia 8 and Nokia 8 Sirocco.

One of the advantages of getting a Nokia smartphone is stock Android. The OS is as Google intended, with no skin on top or bloatware to deal with. The results? A cleaner and faster UI and, of course, timely updates for at least 2 years.
