Nokia 8 Sirocco finally gets a slice of Android 9 Pie

Owners of HMD Global's Nokia 8 Sirocco understandably thought that buying the flagship Android One model would guarantee them fast updates, but they've since had to sit back and watch plenty of other phones get Pie ahead of them. Thankfully, the wait is over and the rollout starts today.

As HMD points out, it's the 8th Nokia phone to get bumped to the latest version of Android. The Nokia 8 Sirocco is undoubtedly the darling of the lineup, at least until the Nokia 9 PureView becomes official, so it's good to see that it's now caught up with its cheaper siblings.

Like any other phone, upgrading to Android 9 Pie gets the Sirocco App Actions, Slices, Adaptive Battery, and a host of UI design tweaks. For those worried they're spending too much time on their phone, Digital Wellbeing features such as App Timers and Wind Down will be welcome additions. Expect to see the update reach your devices at some point over the next few days.
