The latest device to join HMD Global’s Android 8.0 Oreo beta bandwagon is the Nokia 6. Owners of the Nokia 6 can now sign up for the ‘Nokia phones beta labs’, and receive a beta build of Android Oreo before its stable launch at a later date.
So, how do you go about signing up to receive the open beta build of Android 8.0 Oreo for the Nokia 6?
All you need to do is go to Nokia phones beta labs, and sign up with your Google account. Once you have registered your IMEI number and other details, Nokia 6 users will get an Android 8.0 Oreo software update notification within 12 hours of registration. The update is being rolled out over-the-air.
Before doing the update, you should back up your device. However, you will have the option to roll back to Android Nougat if the Oreo beta build doesn’t satisfy you.
Some of the added features in Android 8.0 Oreo you can expect include: Autofill, Picture in Picture, Notification Dots, Google Play Protect security scans, and faster boot times.
The first smartphone for HMD Global’s Android 8.0 Oreo beta was the Nokia 8 in October. Followed by the Nokia 5 just last week.
