Nokia 2 price and availability

As noted earlier, the Nokia 2 is now available for purchase globally, although not in all markets. Those in India, LATAM, EMEA, APAC and even the U.S. can grab it.
HMD Global’s asking price for the phone in Europe is €99 while those in the U.S. get to part with $99. In India, the Nokia 2 made its debut priced at INR 7,399.
Although the Nokia 2 comes preinstalled with Android 7.1.1 Nougat, HMD promised to upgrade it to Android Oreo with a focus on the Go edition. In fact, this phone will also be upgraded to Android P, which should be ready somewhere in August, but the developer preview isn’t so far away.
Android 8.1 Oreo update available
HMD promised that the Nokia 2 will get a software update that will install Android Go-like features to the handset. At some point, the OS was expected in Q1 2018, but this didn’t materialize and expectations shifted to Q2 2018. The company did confirm the update will be made available during the launch event of the Nokia 2.1 and indeed, the beta version is here. [More details].
