Nokia phones tops trust rankings for enterprises, Xiaomi 5th

New Delhi, Oct 27 : Nokia-branded phones have one again topped the global rankings in providing the fastest software and security updates with the highest share of portfolio recommended for enterprises, a new report said on Tuesday.
This is the second successive year when HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, led the ‘Counterpoint Research 2020 Trust Rankings’ based on the four pillars of software, security updates, build quality, and devices recommended for enterprises.
Nokia was followed by OnePlus and Samsung. At fourth place was Realme while Xiaomi was a distant fifth on the global trust rankings.
“The performance of Nokia phones continues to be a competitive advantage over the rest of the smartphone brands in the Android ecosystem. Ninety-eight per cent of Android smartphone brands still offer inconsistent software and security updates or none at all,” said Peter Richardson, VP and Research Director.
“OnePlus also did well by providing faster software updates to all its devices currently selling in the market followed by Samsung and Realme”.
The software that the smartphone runs on is an important consideration and the consumers should expect it to be updated regularly to ensure that potential security vulnerabilities are kept at bay and new features are delivered as they become available.
