The Nokia 2 is a budget smartphone that we enjoyed reviewing here at MobilityArena. It launched with Android 7 Nougat in 2017 and has Nokia’s promise of software updates. Finally, Android Oreo for Nokia 2 is ready, but there are two issues that will make you think twice about running the update.
HMD Global says that Android Oreo is optimized for high performance devices. The Nokia 2 is not such a device. Rather, it is a budget smartphone with 1 GB RAM and an entry-level processor. As such, a key issue is that if you choose to upgrade your Nokia 2, you will experience a degradation in performance.
In simple English, your phone will run slightly slower and not as responsive as you have known it to be. For a phone that was not already snappy, bad idea.
The second issue is that some apps will not be supported on your updated device. You just never know if some of your essential apps are affected.
But that is not all. HMD Global also says that the update is not available to Nokia 2 phones on certain operators and/or in certain countries.
