The Nokia N86 gets a Firmware update to version 21.006

I just checked my Nokia N86 and found that there’s a minor firmware update, to v21.006. Its previous Firmware was v20.115.


The N86 does have UDP (User Data Preservation), so while its always a good idea to backup all your data before the firmware update, none of your programs or data should be affected with the update.

Remember you can update using the N86’s OTA (Over-The-Air) feature, or if you prefer you can download Nokia’s Software Updater application to update your N86 on your windows PC.

If there’s no new firmware detected for your device yet, it might be because it hasnt reached your region product code yet, or maybe your device is carrier branded. It should roll out to all product codes eventually though.

I couldnt really find much new in this update. There seem to be speed improvements here and there. Transitions between Landscape and Portrait seem to be faster (yet not fast enough imho). No doubt there are a couple bug fixes under the hood too.

Have you updated your N86 yet ? Do let us know in the comments y’all.
