Last month, HMD Global started rolling out the stable Android Pie update to the Nokia 8. In that article, we mentioned Nokia 8 Sirocco users were feeling forgotten. The Nokia 8 Sirocco was supposed to get Android Pie in November, but the month came and passed, then December went by without a word as well. Finally, the Android Pie update is rolling out to the Sirocco.
This marks the 8th Nokia phone to get Android Pie, and it’s one of HMD Global’s best devices. Unlike some of the other Nokia Android Pie releases, this one includes Adaptive Battery and App Actions. Adaptive Brightness, Slices, and the new gesture navigation is also present. The Nokia 8 Sirocco also gets access to Digital Wellbeing features, which are exclusive to Google Pixel and Android One phones.
Nokia did not give much of a timeline for this update, but we expect it to follow their usual gradual rollout. Check the Settings of your Nokia 8 Sirocco to see if the OTA update is available. Keep an eye out in the forums for download links.
