Nokia has announced that the Nokia 8 will get Android Oreo before the end of October. Additionally it also confirmed that Oreo update will be making its way to the budget devices, Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6 by the end of this year. The confirmation comes directly from HMD officials, and good news for owners of Nokia phones.
