As per Nokia’s culture, the update will be split into waves, with Australian users categorized among the first wave. 100% if theses users will receive the update by July 24th, then the remaining market will start getting the update.

Recall that HMD Global introduced the Nokia 1.3 entry-level smartphone back in March of 2020. The phone came with Goolge Android 10 (Go Edition) out of the box, and now getting Android 11. But if Nokia’s promise is anything to rely on, then the 1.3 will still get Android 12 when it is finally available.
