HMD Global has silently released the Android P Beta 2 for the Nokia 7 Plus smartphone yesterday. The Finnish upstart company has confirmed this news on its official portal, but at the moment, only the flashable zip file is available, while the Beta 2 will be available via OTA update in the coming days. The new Android P update comes with the V3.08B version number and the company even confirmed that there’s a new rollback Android Oreo image with version number- V2.13B. Interested users can head over to Nokia’s website and install the new Beta update manually. And the users already on the Android P Beta 1 can wait for the OTA update, which, according to HMD is very close for the release.

Google surprised one and all by opening the Android P Beta program to third-party devices from popular brands such as HMD Global, Xiaomi, Essential, Vivo, Oppo and others. The Nokia 7 Plus joined this list as the only device from HMD Global because it’s the company’s only smartphone with 18:9 display at the moment.
The Android P Beta 2 (also known as Developer Preview 3) was rolled out to Google Pixel, Pixel 2 devices earlier this month. Later on, Essential rolled out the same to its Essential PH-1 smartphone and soon, OnePlus released the update to the OnePlus 6. The Android P Beta 2 on the OnePlus 6 is now stable and can be used as a daily driver.
