How our Android updates work - An Infographic

When will pie be cooked for the original Nokia 6 ??? I am eagerly waiting for the pie

Well this is very interesting @matteo.m, I always wanted to know how we receive Android updates to our smartphones and what are the steps involved. I find this material to be very useful and appropriate for all users. 
Also as @madbilly said, about creating a live webpage which could show the status of updates at each stage for Nokia smartphones, this would be awesome. 

Yet to understand

If I may make a suggestion for the new updates of the next Android, list the models and write in a thread, and update it on a regular basis, for example where the update is during the process would calm down people and they would see the update is being worked on, for their model, and if there's a problem write what is going on. Receiving no info and keeping people in the dark about what is going on is not acceptable in my opinion, after all these people are your clients that have purchased your product(s) and services. Without them there's no salaries and no Nokia. 

Treating us like we're a nuisance, so it seems, are what frustrates people and clients in any business. I always believe be open and tell and even show clients what is going on and I don't have problems or clients screaming at me. Posting this nice picture diagram won't help when the next android version is released, this year, maybe August or so. That's my opinion... use it don't use it, your choice. You will just end up with the same situation if you don't and loose clients in the process. 

I know what I wrote here will fall on deaf ears, but so be it then...  

I fully agree, it would be amazing to have this information. 

Hi. Nokia is 2 still without Oreo. Is an update planned? No  information available.

@madbilly If Project Treble is present already then I guess we shouldn't see a delay in OS updates. The OS updates should come faster than the firmware updates.

I am using Nokia 8 and since 18th Jan it's told that android update is on, but till today nothing has come up. Is HMD again hiding something?????

My Nokia 5.1 Plus have become too buggy and irritating after the Pie update. Please fix it soon. And when will we get the January update?

As a buyer one thing i must say about nokia that it become worst than before i purchase 6.1 plus on the name and believe on nokia but i am totally disappointed by the phone and ur services other company give updates on time but its 26 and the security patch is still december its very frustrating...

i am facing alots of issues
lagging
battery drainage
bluetooth auto on prob
network issue
one slot giving only 2g network
low sound in head speaker
increased charging time
screen touch respose lag
etc etc 😠😠😠😠😠
Phone become **** to me

if u really hear your customer problem and care for your customer its my humble request to you that give updates on time and give it after complete testing don't give it like beta testing because we r not fools and not kids who dont understand the good or bad difference and pls keep try to solve these prob abd the last thing is that some other models already gets the updates some days before but 6.1 plus doesn't so pls remember that its also ur device so dont forgot this device..
Do care for all devices it makes ur nake good and better because we r customers we make u big and if we r not happy so we also have the power to make u small by our dislikes..

Take it positively..
