Good news for many Nokia users! The latest Nokia 8 Sirocco update finally arrives and carries a brand new feature: Face Unlock. Additionally, we have other Nokia devices which are going to receive this new upgrade soon. Read on for more information now!

Nokia 8 Sirocco update arrives with Face Unlock feature, so does Nokia 7 Plus!

We have been getting used to the standard fingerprint scanner, don’t we? However, Apple has taken the initiative to introduce a brand new security system with their iPhone X flagship: Face Unlock. And this year, many Android phone makers have jumped into this trend as well with their latest flagship. Notably, we have the OnePlus 6, Vivo Y81 and event the Xiaomi Mi 8 arriving with this new technology. And now, it seems like HMD is going to be the next manufacturer to join the bandwagon!

According to the latest report, HMD Global is going to equip the Face Unlock feature to many of their high-ranking phones with an OTA update. Notably, these devices are Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 8, Nokia 7 plus and Nokia 6.1. Moreover, the new Nokia 8 Sirocco update also has a pure image recognition system. If implemented well it can be convenient, though it doesn’t offer much security (unlike the biometric methods).

On the other hand, the highly anticipated Android P beta is also coming to your Nokia devices soon! Furthermore, Nokia 7 Plus is one of these lucky devices to get the taste of P features. In details, Google and HMD Global have been working together to expand the availability of the new Android P in China. For now, the system is available for a limited number of users who have successfully signed for the beta program. Besides, Nokia previously confirmed that the update is going to arrive as a part of a long-term strategy. Moreover, all users subscribed to the Beta program should be aware of possible bugs, instabilities, and issues related to the not-finished Android release.

Will other Nokia phone receive the similar Nokia 8 Sirocco update?

For now, there is no confirmation regarding other Nokia devices. However, we can expect the next handset to feature the Face Unlock is Nokia X6. Do you have the similar idea? Let us know with a comment!
