Ahead of the first sale, HMD Global, the licensee of the Nokia brand has now started rolling out the Android 8.1 Oreo update to the Nokia 7 Plus smartphone in India. The Nokia 7 Plus, which was launched last week arrived with Android 8.0 Oreo (at least our review unit), but the device will most probably come with Android 8.1 Oreo preinstalled out of the box. The Nokia 6 (2018) which is currently running Android 8.0 Oreo will also receive the 8.1 update very soon as the company has commenced the roll out. The Nokia 6 (2018) is currently up for sale in the country, while the Nokia 7 Plus will be available for purchase starting April 30. Users who've purchased the Nokia 6 (2018) will see an update notification very soon and going forward, it might come with the latest version preinstalled.
