HMD Global is living up to the expectations when it comes to bringing software updates to its handsets. Brace yourself if you own Nokia 3 and Nokia 2, as these devices are about to taste Google's latest operating system, the Android Oreo.
The Finnish company had already assured the Android Oreo update for Nokia 8, Nokia 2, Nokia 3, Nokia 5, Nokia 6, and Nokia 7. All these handsets have received Android Nougat but only Nokia 8 has tasted Oreo so far.
HMD Global's Chief Product Officer Juho Sarvikas has now announced that Nokia 3 will soon get the Android Oreo beta build. He added that Nokia 2 will get Android 8.1 Oreo directly.
Also #Nokia2 but will go straight to 8.1 to get memory optimization features as it is a 1GB RAM device. #Nokia3 Beta Labs right around the corner.
