Stock Operating System
It was earlier expected that this device will be coming with a custom skin on top the stock OS, just as Nokia have been doing in the past. However, the device will be running on the latest Android 7.1.1 Nougat Operating System.
The Cons

Poor Battery Life
One of the setback of this wonderful device is its poor battery capacity. It is coming with a mere 3000mAh battery under its rear panel. Though the battery capacity might appear a little bit small, since the device is coming from Nokia, the battery life experience might turned out being positive.
