HMD Global has put in a lot of effort to return the Nokia brand to its past glory. The company is not only unveiling lovable smartphones, it is also releasing updates for its devices. About a year ago, Nokia released the Nokia 6 and this smartphone came with Android 7.1.1 (Nougat) with a planned upgrade to Android 8.0 (Oreo). Nokia 6 (2018) recently updated straight to Android 8.0 Oreo on first boot. Now, the company is currently keeping its promise by rolling out the Android 8.0 Oreo beta update to the 2017 Nokia 6 devices in India. Nokia CPO, Juho Sarvikas, took to his official Twitter handle to inform us that this update is part of a Beta Lab program.
We are starting today Oreo Beta Labs roll out for #Nokia6 in India. I understand that some of you may have been waiting for this 😬. Remember that Beta Labs is a test platform and commercial release is well on track 😀. Please jump in and give us your feedback!!!
