A lot of Android fans got confused when Nokia was taken by HMD Global. However, they are doing an excellent job in releasing competitive smartphones. They are also taking care of the software part on releasing regular updates. HMD Global was one of the few smartphone companies to roll Android Pie beta for their devices. We are continually writing about the firmware updates for Nokia. Last month, Nokia 8 Pie update got leaked on the internet a bit earlier. But now, the official build from Nokia is here.

Nokia 8 Pie update

In this guide, you will be able to install Android 9.0 Pie official beta firmware on Nokia 8. Since this is a manual installation guide, we have added the OTA download link below, from where you can get the firmware package. Using some number combination with the dialer app, you can easily update your Nokia 8 to Android Pie. We have explained everything below. Read ahead!

This update comes a little late as promised by HMD Global, but it’s okay, we are happy to see that. Nokia 8 is one of the few Android smartphones which has an unlockable bootloader, which is pretty awesome. The 5.3-inch display device launched with Android 7.1 Nougat, backed with Snapdragon 835 SoC, 4/6GB of RAM, dual 13MP cameras and 3,090 mAh battery.
