Nokia's latest update for its Lumia brand has been confirmed for Australian smartphone owners but the rollout release data varies depending on the user's mobile carrier.
The Lumia Black update is set for the Lumia 520, Lumia 620, Lumia 625, Lumia 720, Lumia 820, Lumia 920, Lumia 925, and Lumia 1020 smartphones.
For the Lumia 520, the Lumia Black update has been labeled as "Waiting for approval" with mobile carriers Telstra and Vodafone.
According to Nokia, "Waiting for approval" has been defined as "undergoing final testing with Nokia, country or operator to achieve approval."
The Lumia 620's Lumia Black update will be available from a "Country variant" mobile carrier, but it is also on the "Waiting for approval" stage.
The Lumia 625 continues the "Waiting" stages via mobile carries Optus, Telstra, and Vodafone.
The Lumia 720's Lumia Black update will be available after its "Waiting" phase from Vodafone.
Optus and Vodafone will have the Lumia Black update for Lumia 820 smartphone owners. The update for the Lumia 820, however, is on the "Waiting for approval" stage.
The Lumia 920 and Lumia 925 update from Telstra concludes the "Waiting" update, but Optus has rolled out Lumia Black for the Lumia 925.
The Lumia 1020's Lumia Black update is available for Optus and Telstra subscribers.
Among the new features with Lumia Black is the App Folder, which gives the Lumia smartphone owner the option to organize and personalize their Start screen. Nokia Glance screen 2.0 is also featured in the update and is able to monitor information in real time from calendar, emails, messages, outlook, or apps such as Facebook, Twitter, and Whatsapp, to name a few.
To check if the Lumia Black update is available, Lumia smartphone owners can go to "Settings" to "Phone update."
