Juho Sarvikas – Chief Product Officer at HMD Global – has announced that the Android 8.1 Oreo beta has started rolling out to Nokia 8. This 8.1 Oreo beta update for Nokia 8 comes with some new features like revamped power menu, new settings menu, Bluetooth battery percentage indicator, and, battery saving navigation buttons (well that’s burn-in protection). Besides, it also comes with the latest Android security patch that’s dated January 1, 2018, and, the hamburger emoji that now has cheese above the patty.
That said, the Android 8.1 Oreo beta update for Nokia 8 is rolled out over the air, and, it weighs just over 1.5 GB in size. However, not all the Nokia 8 users will receive this update as it is only rolled out to those who are enrolled in the beta program.
If you are a Nokia 8 user and want to try Android 8.1 Oreo right away on your phone, then you will have to enroll in the beta program by heading over to www.nokia.com/en_int/phones/betalabs to get the update. That said, if everything goes well, then we might see HMD Global rolling out the stable 8.1 Oreo update to Nokia 8 in a couple of weeks.
