It also appears that the Nokia 6 (2017) will receive the update shortly. Currently the system is available in beta form, although as usual, the fact that it is not a stable version does not make it completely safe.
Once Android 8 reaches the devices it is important to proceed with its update. It is a system that has come with numerous improvements. Not only at the level of stability and security. Oreo has a smarter notification system. Also, you can enjoy a feature known as “picture-in-picture”. This functionality allows you to enjoy two applications simultaneously. In this way, for example, you can be watching a video while playing a game or writing an email.
Likewise, Android 8 also includes a new system to reduce the activity of the applications we use. Therefore, it consumes less battery than ever. With the arrival of Android 8 to Nokia mobiles, it is reflected that the manufacturers that have opted for the system continue to work to have their latest models updated to the latest version of the platform.
