Good news is that Android 10 is scheduled for quarter 2 this year.
Feb-2020 service pack for Android 9 was released on 2nd March.
I paid the same price from OW almost a year ago. Had a warranty claim after 3 months (usb port stopped working), it works fine now but it was inconvenient having to buy another phone while it was getting fixed. Google One includes garunteed security updates for 1 year.

Android One promises 2 years of OS updates and an additional year of security updates.
Nokia 5.1 Plus was released in October 2018, so 18 months remaining.
+2 on the USB port. 2 weeks to repair.
It is great phone but the usb connector is pain. I didnt get it fixed. I just move the charger cable at an angle to charge the phone.
I have this phone and I would recommend against it just for the USB port.
I like everything about this phone except I have had the USB port replaced 3 times.
PITA.
I was thinking about this but is it really a bargain?
Seems like an old phone that's been $199 for a year.
I still have a "redmi note 3" but I need a newer Android for MyGovId.
Old but will get android 10
Was this price nearly a year ago at jb hifi
A lot of reviews mention flaky USB-C port.
While the model is a good one, I don't recommend it.
It's a mid-2018 model, and Nokia only provides 2 years of Security update
which means you won't get any security patch in 3-6 months time
expose your data in risk :(What about all the other phones without updates ?
They expose their data in risk
Apparently
IMHO a good reason to buy a phone that had a good mod community with custom ROM support if you want long term support and updates.
The Samsung Galaxy A20 is $179 plus around $5.50 to unlock.
My son had this 5.1+ then lost it . Got an A20 (ebay unlocked) and was happier .
Dual or single Sim?
Don't get this phone if you want notifications to work on whatsapp, Viber or WeChat. The battery saver on this phone kills off these app to save battery. I bought 6 units for my family but ended up switching to A20 Samsung.
"Premium Finnish design"
I see what you did there…Very similar to A20
More powerful cpu and gpu, but smaller screen https://gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=9246&idPhone2=964…
Might be Android One, however ours is still on Android 9…
