If you are a kia 8 user, waiting for Android 9 OS update and having felt that re has been a delay in seeding of new firmware, n re is a reason for it. For starters, it is worth reminiscing that kia 8 is a comparatively older mid-range smartphone released by HMD Global-owned kia.

w, as per an official tweet by Juho Sarvikas who is Chief Product Officer at HMD Global, re were apparently issues with VoLTE in India that required a new software to dress. This is reportedly said to have resulted in HMD Global consuming relatively more time. Sarvikas, in his official tweet, has also stated that new functionality requested for by kia users/loyalists would be incorporated with Android Pie OS update (for kia 8 smartphones). This tweet was in response to a cross-section of apparent kia 8 users.
