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"]
