HMD Global has since promised that all Nokia smartphone released under its ownership will get the Android Oreo update. However, while other Nokia smartphones have since gotten this update, Nokia 2 was not listed. Just over a week ago, Nokia's CPO Juho Sarvikas explained on Twitter that the company is facing challenges with Nokia 2 and Android Oreo because "Google moved all devices with 1GB of RAM to Android Go for more optimized experience".

As of now, there is no specific date for the release of this update. The official only indicates "soon" in the email. Nokia 2 was released in October 2017 in India. This phone is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 212 processor coupled with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage.
