We've already seen the Nokia 8 get its Oreo update, and we know that the Nokia 6's update is close. Now we've got more details on another Nokia phone's Oreo update.
The Nokia 2 will be updated to Android 8.1. That's been confirmed by Juho Sarvikas, HMD Global's Chief Product Officer, who recently explained on Twitter that the update will include many of the memory management improvements used for Android Go.
Hi! It will receive Android Oreo. 1GB RAM devices will be supported on 8.1 release where many of the Android Go memory management improvements will be integrated. Nokia 2 performance will only get better over time!

There's no telling exactly when this update will be released, as Android 8.1 was only recently released to Google's Nexus and Pixel phones. Still, this is exciting news for Nokia 2 owners. The Nokia 2 is very much an entry level device, and sometimes those phones don't get much in the way of significant software updates after they launch. That won't be the case with the Nokia 2, though.
