The new OS comes with loads of new features including Bubble (grouping of messaging apps), control panel for all smart gadgets, user privacy improvements including resetting permission for apps to access the mic and camera of the phones, and more.

Google announced that all the Pixel phones will be the first to receive the new Android 11 and will expand the software roll-out to other phones in the coming weeks.

OnePlus Nord, 7 & 7T series are expected to go through the same beta testing and then get the public version by the end of 2020 or early 2021.

Nokia
HMD Global Oy has a big reputation for releasing timely software and security patches to Nokia phones. It has also beaten Google several times in delivering the latest updates to Nokia phones compared to the Pixel series.
