As per scheduled, Nokia 8 has started receiving stable Android 9.0 Pie update. Nokia 8 and Nokia 8 Sirocco were both due to receive Android 9.0 Pie in November. However, earlier this month, HMD Global on Wednesday announced that the Android 9.0 Pie update for the Nokia 8 is now rolling out in phases.
HMD Global Chief Product Officer Juho Sarvikas announced on Twitter that the phased rollout of the Android 9.0 Pie update for the Nokia 8 will commence from today. As we mentioned, the company announced in October that the Nokia 8 and Nokia 8 Sirocco will be getting their Android 9.0 Pie updates in November.

HMD Global made a clarification once the date has passed that the Nokia 8 update had been delayed due to certain issues.
Later in December, the company rolled out the Android 9.0 Pie Beta update to the Nokia 8 via its Nokia Beta Labs programme. The update came with the standard Pie-based features, such as Adaptive Battery and Adaptive Brightness, a new navigation system, as well as the December 2018 Android security patch.
The Nokia 8 was launched globally in August 2017, before being brought to India in September of the same year. The device received its Android 8.1 Oreo update in February 2018.
