HMD Global has started rolling out the monthly software update for the Nokia 3. The Android update, which started rolling out last week, includes Google's latest Android security patch update. Although this update is still based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat, the security patches offer an improved level of security for HMD's budget Nokia 3 smartphone. Most high-end, flagship smartphones from other brands haven't yet received the update for the month of December.

Apart from the latest security patch, the December update also includes improved system stability along with a few enhancements to the user interface on the Nokia 3.
