Last year we saw that Nokia is taking the update very seriously and provide updates on each device. One of the best things about Nokia is the transparency of providing updates. They provide full information related to update to its users, this we don’t get to see on other brand devices. The Android 10 update for Nokia 4.2 is currently available in specific countries for limited users. But in a week, the update will be available to all users in those specific countries. As usual Juho Sarvikas twitted about the Nokia 4.2 Android 10 update to inform users.
As Nokia phones come with stock Android and so you are going to get most of the Android 10 features that are available on Pixel phones. Android 10 on Nokia 4.2 brings features like new navigation gestures, enhanced security settings, system wide dark mode, smart reply and more. Also, the update comes with March 2020 security patch as per the changelog. The update weighs around 1.38GB and comes in the version v2.290.
