Android 9 Pie Beta Update Released for Nokia 8

HMD Global is currently enjoying the positive response it received for the newly launched Nokia 8.1. But just a week back, the company was in the news for a bad reason and that’s because of the Nokia 8. Right after the Nokia 8.1’s announcement in Dubai, a report surfaced online stated that HMD Global is intentionally delaying the Android 9 Pie update rollout for the Nokia 8 because it’s looking to boost the sales of the new Nokia 8.1 which runs the latest iteration of Android out of the box. HMD rubbished the report by saying every chipset requires its own tweaking and it’s currently facing some issues with the Nokia 8’s Pie update. But the company did not stop right there. Today, it announced Android 9 Pie beta update for its first flagship smartphone, which is a good thing to see from the two-year-old smartphone brand.

Nokia 8 Gets Android 9 Pie Beta Update

It has been a long wait for Nokia 8 owners as the company chose to release Android 9 Pie update to the mid-range phones such as Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 7.1 and Nokia 6.1 Plus first. Since every Nokia 8 owner is complaining about the delay of the update, HMD decided to throw in a beta version first so that users can experience it and give feedback to the brand. Juho Sarvikas, the Cheif Product Officer at HMD, announced this new on Twitter by quoting “Thank you for your patience. Since you had to wait a bit longer than expected for Android 9 on your Nokia 8, we decided to make an immediate Beta Labs release. Please join us in finalising the commercial release – your feedback is extremely valuable.”
