All Nokia phones will receive Android 8.0 Oreo update, HMD confirms

HMD Global has confirmed that all Nokia-branded Android smartphones will be updated to Android 8.0 Oreo including Nokia 3, Nokia 5, Nokia 6, and Nokia 8. The news comes from chief product officer Juho Sarvikas. He confirmed the news on Twitter, saying: "All our smartphones will upgrade to Oreo, Nokia 3 included. No comments yet on timing so that I don't get into trouble." As far as the released date is concerned, the Nokia Oreo update would release before the end of this year as Google mentioned HMD Global’s name in the list of their partners pushing out Android 8.0 before 2017 says goodbye.

Of course, the promise of an update alone is easy. The hard part is actually getting it done, and getting it done in a timely manner. A few months ago, HMD Global announced that it’s working closely with Google to ensure that Nokia phones receive fast Android updates. It certainly helps that Nokia’s Android is similar to Google’s Android, a feature the company highlighted back at MWC 2017 when it unveiled three new Android phones.
