The uncontested winner of the 2017 smartphone-making rookie of the year award strikes again after spreading the Oreo public beta love across its portfolio of “pure” Android-running mobile devices.
HMD Global had already started 2018 on a high note, with the introduction of a second-generation Nokia 6 in China delivering great bang for the buck yuan of the brand’s local enthusiasts.
Now the same respectable 5.5-inch phone scores an official Android 8.0 Oreo update, as does another of the Finnish company’s region-exclusive products. We’re talking, of course, about the Nokia 7, which saw daylight in the world’s largest smartphone market back in October, never expanding to other countries since then.
