My Note8 is not getting the Android Q while the hardware has no problems to handle it, just because Samsung does not care about a 2 year old phone getting a third major update, not because the hardware is lacking. So far HMD, Sony and OnePlus are the only few manufactures that update all or most of their recent phones.

Nokia 2 was a tad too light to run full Android relatively smoothly. It is a good thing the super affordable low end Nokia phones do come with the Android Go edition now.

"Nokia cant keep their promise"
For fck sake, they are ONLY not able to update ONE SINGLE DEVICE. And it's this Nokia 2.
Nougat only requires 1gb ram back then. But google raised it up to 2gb in Oreo. Android Go wasnt launched back then. And Google said it can be turned to Android Go which they clarified again that it's not possible, like wtf?
Blame Google.

Who cares about HMD phones they are not a patch on the Nokia of old, HMD with false promises now trying to cover their arse saying updates where a miscommunication. I bought into the hype but would never have another HMD handset.

I'm gonna deny the fact that you think I feel better after that comment, which is a bunch of pixels, what's so satisfying about pixels? I agree that the 9 PureView is a bit of a failure. Just because Nokia is my favourite brand doesn't mean I think all their products are good.

This is what they said about Nokia 2 performance in their review "It's slow, there's no escaping that. It feels just as slow as its outdated hardware would suggest, and even basic browsing around the UI can leave you waiting at times."

Anonymous, 28 Jun 2019At least hardware working fine. Custom rom every where. Oh ... moreIt seems Nokia has a lot insecure fanboy, i have Xiaomi Mi4C and it still working without any problems.
At least with Xiaomi phones you'll get better specs with similar price or even cheaper so even after Xiaomi stopped giving updates it still perform better than Nokia phones.

Big damage to Nokia's 2 OS upgrade promise. Yes Nokia it has low end chipset. Better stop making such phones. Or at least don't promise.
Now just port the Android pie UI features to Nokia 2 like xiaomi does with its phones.
Just Don't use mediatek chipset in your future models. Don't accomodate phones with anything lower than SD435, SD630.
Don't ever give 2gb ram, 16gb rom to low end phones. It is of no use by today's standards & competition

Foreground apps crash constantly due to lack of memory. Doing _anything_ takes minutes. Some times five minutes just to open and log in to LastPass. When the loading is done you just pray the app won't be killed due to the first issue.
This phone was made with too poor specs from the get go.

Sorry but you can't deny it after comments like that and let's be honest all Nokia phones are pretty crappy compared to other phones from another brands even the latest and greatest Nokia 9 is a failure.

So much for the promise of 2 major android updates plus 3 years of security updates.
Why not make these phones to Android Go then ? And whos fault is that Nokia release new phones that already are with really outdated hardware ?
