It’s just that I kind of expected Android 11, since it’s a part of Google’s official Android One program. Nokia does promise 2 years of software updates, so for those who want stock Android, this is as good as it gets. So, you end up waiting for apps to restart as when you try opening them from the recents menu.Īgain, all of this is not running on Android 11 (as one would expect), but Android 10. And with just 3 GB RAM, most apps don’t stay open in the background for long. Fire up the camera app and switching camera modes takes a whole second, which can get annoying for some. But there’s noticeable lag when you launch apps and switch between them.
