HMD Global so far has a decent track record of providing timely software updates to its phones. The Nokia 4.2 has gotten its share of software updates since it launched and now, the phone is receiving yet another software update in India, which bumps the Android security patch and also reportedly adds support for Dual 4G VoLTE. The update is now rolling out in India, HMD Global told Gadgets 360.

According to a report by Nokiapoweruser, HMD Global has released a new version, based on Android Pie, for the Nokia 4.2 (Review) smartphone. The update is pretty substantial, at around 1.3GB in size. If you own a Nokia 4.2, then you can head over the Settings app and check to see if you've received the update.

The security patch has also been updated to July 2019. The users have also reportedly stated (to Nokiapoweruser) their phones now support Dual 4G VoLTE after the update.
