HMD enrolled the Nokia 7 Plus into the Android Pie beta program earlier this year and the result is that the device is reportedly receiving an OTA update that installs the stable version of this OS, only a couple of days after Google started rolling it out to the Pixel phones.
And the Finnish company says the new Android Pie update is already available for its 2017 lineup of Nokia 8, Nokia 6, Nokia 5 and Nokia 3, although the rollout process will be phased. This means that not all devices will be upgraded to Pie at the same time, rather, the process will take place in stages, probably beginning with the Nokia 8 and Nokia 8 Sirocco in the next few days or weeks for that matter.
Hi, the Android Pie is currently available for the Nokia 3, 5, 6 and 8, roll-out will be phased as usual to secure quality delivery.

In case you didn’t know, Nokia 7 Plus was at some point joined by the Nokia 6.1, Nokia 7 and Nokia 8 Sirocco in trialing Android P beta, but this was limited to the Chinese market. If anything, these devices should be among the first to get the nod ahead of the likes of Nokia 3 and Nokia 5. Still, this should easily position Android Pie as the fastest rolling out Android OS to date.
