    This update sees Nokia become one of the few OEM to roll official Pie update, beating out some bigger companies like Samsung and LG. The update passed through a lot of testing, thanks to the OEM for their previous beta builds. So, no doubt, this update is likely to be stable without any significant bugs. You can download the update by simply going to Settings option and check for update. Users from India were already receiving the OTA. But if you are from some other region where the OTA still not rolled, you can sideload the update ZIP file. We have a tutorial below for that. Read ahead.

    The latest stable Pie update for Nokia 7 Plus labeled V3.190, appears to be minimal. The update includes September 2018 security patch.

    Back in August 2018, Sarvikas said that Nokia 7 Plus would be the first device from HMD global to get Android 9 Pie. So as per the target, the company successfully able to deliver the official version of Android Pie. According to HMD global, the operator/carrier based device will be the next to catch the OTA.

    • You might have a different operator/carrier.
    • If you are in custom ROM, there is no chance of getting official updates.
    • Rooting: If your device is rooted, there is a chance of OTA break.
