Nokia 8 expected to receive the Android 8.0 Oreo update in late October

HMD has already confirmed that Android 8.0 Oreo for Nokia 8 is currently being tested and the update should be released soon. How soon is that? Well, if everything goes according to plan, Nokia 8 owners won't have to wait more than a month to upgrade to Oreo.

During a recent press conference in Taiwan with the occasion the Nokia 8's launch in the country, HMD's officials present at the event confirmed the smartphone will receive the Android 8.0 Oreo as early as late October.

The Nokia 8 will arrive in many countries in the first week of October, but in some territories, HMD's flagship is already available for purchase. It's quite generous from HMD's part to provide customers who bought the Nokia 8 with an update so early. That will definitely help with the sales of the phone and the trust consumers have in the Nokia brand.

We reported a few days ago that HMD confirmed Nokia 3, 5 and 6 will be receiving Android 8.0 Oreo updates by the end of the year. Let's see if the Finnish company can keep its promise.
