According to the changelogs reported by GSMArena, the updates for both the Nokia 8 and Nokia 3 contain the security fixes. The size of the update for Nokia 8 is 87 MB and 80 MB for Nokia 3.This comes days after HMD Global started beta testing an Android 8.1 Oreo-based OS for the Nokia 8.[caption id="attachment_3859473" align="alignnone" width="825"]Image Credit Nokia Image Credit Nokia[/caption]In addition to the Nokia 8, the company is also working to bring Android 8.1 Oreo to almost all the devices that are on sale from the company regardless of budget. Last but not the least, the report also points out that the update is only rolling out for India and Jordan and that the update for the Nokia 3 is limited to users in India at the time of writing.
