Nokia 2 was first introduced in October 2017 Globally and later launched in India in November with Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box. During the launch, the company has also promised Android Oreo update for this entry-level smartphone. Now, Nokia has skipped the Android 8.0 Oreo and started rolling out Android 8.1 Oreo Beta update through the Nokia Phones Beta Labs program. This update also includes many of the Android Go Editon memory management improvements. Even though you’ll receive the stable update within a month or two, you can still try the 8.1 Oreo Beta using the Beta program.
To get the Android 8.1 Oreo Beta on your Nokia 2 smartphone, Go to this link and sign up for the Beta program.
