It’s not a big update at 219MB but still, we’d advise you to download and install it over Wi-Fi. Also Read – Nokia 9 PureView, Nokia 8 update rolling out with July 2020 security patch

The OTA update is rolling out in a staged process, so it should take a while before reaching all Nokia 5.3 devices globally. Users will get a notification to download the update.

Back in June, HMD Global had to release a major update to fix security issues. Reports said Nokia phones could have allowed local malicious applications to bypass user interaction requirements to gain access to additional permissions. It also fixed an arbitrary code within the context of Kernel components.

We’re hoping the major issue was fixed once and for all, allowing Nokia phone users to access the internet on their device without any concerns.
