The update arrives as build version V2.230 and weighs in at 2.19GB in size (via NokiaPowerUser).

As you'd expect, the update brings a number of new features — including conversation widgets, accessibility improvements, and a privacy dashboard. It also introduces a new Private Compute Core, which is a secure mobile environment that is isolated from the rest of the OS and your apps. Additionally, the update includes the November 2021 Android security patch.
Just like some of HMD Global's best Android phones, the Nokia X10 is promised to get three years of Android OS updates. Since the phone launched with Android 11 out of the box, Android 12 is only the first of three major updates that the phone will receive.
Nokia G50
The Nokia G50 is an affordable 5G phone that features a large 6.8-inch screen and a 5000mAh battery. It is guaranteed to receive three years of security updates and two years of Android OS updates.
