Nokia 6 (2018) (Review) and Nokia 7 Plus have started receiving their Android 8.1 Oreo update in India, over-the-air (OTA). The rollout follows the start of the Android 8.0 Oreo update rollout for the Nokia 3 (Review) on Wednesday. Nokia licensee HMD Global has not made any official announcement regarding the start of the rollout; however, our review units of the Nokia 6 (2018) and Nokia 7 Plus have received the update. Amongst other version-based changes, the update also brings along the April Android security update to Nokia 6 (2018) and Nokia 7 Plus.

The Android 8.1 Oreo update (v2.13B) for the Nokia 6 (2018) weighs 801.4MB, and brings other new features, such as battery saving navigation buttons, a revamped power menu, new Settings menu, and a Bluetooth battery percentage. The Nokia 7 Plus update brings the exact same features, however, it weighs 590.2MB.

To recall, HMD Global had launched the Nokia 6 (2018) and Nokia 7 Plus in India last week, and out-of-the-box, the smartphones ship with Android 8.0 Oreo. Buyers will receive the Android 8.1 Oreo update soon after they get their units up and running. The Nokia 6 (2018) went on sale in India on April 6, and is currently available in a single RAM/ storage variant - 3GB/ 32GB. It has been priced at Rs. 16,999 (best buy price), and is available via the newly opened Nokia Mobile Shop and select mobile outlets in the country.
