Exciting times are ahead for HMD Global device owners as the company gears up to roll out the highly anticipated Android 15 update to several of its smartphones and tablets. Leading the charge is the HMD Pulse Pro, which is the first to experience the new Android delight. So, if you’re eagerly waiting for this update on your device, you’re in luck. HMD Global has shared a list that includes both HMD-branded and Nokia-branded devices due for the upgrade.
Interestingly, this latest OS upgrade, Android 15, will mark the final operating system enhancement for many of these devices. This includes popular models like the Nokia G42, Nokia G60, Nokia X30, Nokia XR21, along with the HMD XR21 and the HMD T21. Following this update, these models won’t receive further OS upgrades, while others can look forward to the potential of Android 16, expected around mid-2025.
A curious detail has surfaced about the Nokia T21 and HMD T21 models. Despite being essentially the same device, only the HMD T21 will receive the Android 15 update. This variation arises from their initial software, with the Nokia T21 starting with Android 12 and receiving its promised updates up to Android 14. In contrast, the HMD T21 came with Android 13, leaving room for a fresh leap to Android 15 as its final OS upgrade.
As HMD Global maneuvers through these updates, users should keep an eye on their device’s product pages, as software support details differ. While the journey to Android 15 may be the end of the road for some, it promises to bring enhanced features and support, ensuring devices remain sharp and current during their twilight phase. For tech enthusiasts keeping tabs on their devices’ lifecycles, understanding these updates helps them make the most informed choices as they look towards future upgrades.
