It's that time of the year again, when many manufacturers begin rolling out upgrades to the latest version of Android to their devices. Once considered one of the most prompt in sending out updates, Nokia has surprisingly fallen behind new leaders Samsung and Xiaomi this year. The Finnish company is only now rolling out its first Android 11 upgrade, to the Nokia 8.3 5G.
