Nokia 6 getting Oreo Beta in India

Nokia has started rolling out the Oreo 8.0 update for its mid-range device, the Nokia 6(2017), in India. Nokia CPO Juho Sarvikas confirmed it in a tweet yesterday.

About a month ago, Nokia started the registrations for its beta program for the Nokia 6. Those who registered are now getting the update. Juho Sarvikas did not mention when the stable build will be ready but some people have posted online that Nokia has started rolling out Oreo update for the just launched Nokia 6(2018). So let’s hope the 2017 model too gets the update soon.

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!!!
