Android 10 (Go Edition) coming to Nokia 1, Nokia 1 Plus, Nokia 2.1, HMD Confirms

HMD Global is known for swift and timely updates for its smartphones, and the company is maintaining that trend for its entry-level smartphones as well. In a tweet on 27 September, HMD Global has confirmed that three of its entry-level smartphones — Nokia 2.1, Nokia 1, and Nokia 1 Plus — will soon be receiving the latest Android 10 Go edition update.

Android 10 (Go Edition) was recently launched by Google. The Android Go edition version is designed for entry-level phones and comes with optimisations that can run smoothly on budget devices.

Perhaps, the biggest feature of Android 10 (Go edition) is the Adiantum encryption support, which is basically a new type of encryption made for low-end devices. It does not require any special hardware to work and does not affect the performance of the device in any, claims Google.

Essentially, Adiantum will run efficiently without specialised hardware, which means all Go edition users will have the same level of data security as any Android device, without compromising performance.
