The company has released this latest version of Android for a total of five smartphones this year which include Nokia 3.1, 3.1 Plus, 5, 6, and 8 Sirocco.

Android Pie brings in features like navigation gestures, adaptive brightness, adaptive battery, redesigned UI, and predictive app actions to Nokia 5.1. And, you can also expect it to get Android Q in the future as it was launched last May with the promise of version updates for two years.
