Android 8.1 Oreo
Nokia 5.1 Plus is the latest mid-range smartphone addition in the 2018 Nokia smartphones Lineups. It will be available via flash sale on 1st October 2018 as Flipkart exclusive. It is powered by MediaTek Helio P60 processor and packs 3GB RAM with the combination of pure Android Oreo 8.1.
Nokia 5.1 Plus comes with a 19:9 ratio 5.86-inch display with 720×1520 resolution. It comes with a single speaker with an AMP+ feature for audio output amplification.
Nokia 5.1 Plus display works well both indoors and outdoors. Because of it being “laminated and polarized”, the sunlight legibility is top notch. For testing the display we have also streamed video and zoomed in to see the quality of the display.
Nokia 5.1 Plus audio output is quite loud and clear. Audio quality is rich and even at full volume, there are no distortions. Streaming videos or playing high-quality games constitute very good experience on Nokia 5.1 Plus. Though it doesn’t come with a stereo speaker, the Single speaker with smart amplification AMP+ works very well.
The new Nokia X6 will be launching on May 16 in China by Hmd Global. We are just 2 days away from it and now most of it's features have been leaked via Baidu.
HMD Global is slowly releasing source codes of its phones, and codes for Nokia 6 and Nokia 1 are already available. HMD has released the Open Source code for Nokia 8 now. This is not the full code, but just one part of it that HMD is obligated to release under the GPL or LGPL, and some other open source licenses that allow the code to be released. If you are a developer and need parts of Nokia 8’s source
code.
HMD still has to release codes for Nokia 7 plus, Nokia 8 Sirocco and maybe older phones ( Nokia 5, Nokia 3 and Nokia 2) if there is any need for them to do that. Anyway, this is commendable, but I think many are waiting for a bootloader to get unlocked in the near future.
After launching Nokia 7 Plus and Nokia 8 Sirocco, HMD is teasing something very interesting for China. Billboards and short advertisements during movie screenings feature a certain “Nokia X”. The teasers even reveal the purported launch date of April 27. Check the images above and below posted by Nokia fans in China.
It is not clear immediately what we are looking it as our sources have tipped us a Nokia 9 launch not before H2 2018. So, that leaves us with only Nokia 4 in term of new and unannounced smartphones. But Nokia 4 is a no go for China, considering “4” is considered an unlucky number in China.
So, probably Nokia 3 or Nokia 5 2018 versions may be heading to China. HMD didn’t launch original Nokia 3 and 5 in China and may have now planned to make amendments.
It though takes you down the memory lane with the name “Nokia X“. Nokia X was the first fruit of Nokia/Microsoft’s decision to fork Android to make it look like Windows Phone.

The Nokia brand has been doing rather well under HMD Global. We applaud HMD Global’s commitment to the Android One program and timely security updates. The Nokia 7 Plus and Nokia 8 Sirocco are among the latest mid-range and high-end devices from HMD Global announced at Mobile World Congress 2018, and while the company’s full-throttled support of the Android One program took center stage, there was another exciting announcement for Nokia fans: the return of the Lumia Pro Camera mode in the Nokia Camera app.
The company announced that it would be bringing back the iconic Pro Camera mode that was one of the best features of the camera app from the Lumia phones. This mode is available in the Nokia 7 Plus and the Nokia 8 Sirocco out of the box, but it was unclear whether or not the feature would be implemented in the camera app for older Nokia-branded devices. HMD Global’s Chief Product Officer, Juho Sarvikas, said that the Nokia Camera’s Pro Camera mode would roll out to all devices with ZEISS optics, so some have speculated that this would include previous-generation Nokia devices. Now, we have some direct confirmation that HMD Global might very well release this feature for other Nokia phones the APK of the latest camera app from a leaked Nokia 7 OTA update has been posted online.
The leaked OTA was pulled by XDA Senior Member, a prolific leaker of firmware for Nokia devices and a finder of many prototype devices. The OTA is an unreleased build for the Chinese variant of the Nokia 7, and it includes version 8.0260.50 of the camera app with the Pro Camera mode. He has confirmed that it works on his device and has shared the APK file so that the wider community can enjoy the app.
Theoretically, it should work on any Nokia-branded device with Zeiss optics as HMD Global claimed it would. It has only been tested on the 7 so far, but it’ll likely work on the Nokia 8 as well. Download the Nokia Camera APK file below with the Pro Camera mode feature and let us know if it works on your Nokia device!

We have been facing questions from our readers on the impending Oreo updates for Nokia 2 and Nokia 3. While Nokia 3 already got the taste of Oreo Beta thanks to the Nokia Beta Labs, Nokia 2 users have been left high and dry in the process.
While HMD promised the Oreo 8.1 update for Nokia 2 as coming within 2 weeks after MWC 2018, it hasn’t lived up to the promise so far. But HMD has not forgotten Nokia 2 and Nokia 3 and both the devices may have the taste of Android Oreo very soon.
Juho Sarvikas, HMD CPO has posted tweets making it clear that the “value” Nokia devices will get major updates soon.
In a second tweet, he did mention that Nokia 2 Oreo update is being reviewed daily as he deems it “super important”.
So, hopefully, it happens “super-early” and as we have seen in the case of Nokia 1, Android Oreo 8.1 does bring performance improvements for low-RAM devices like Nokia 2.
As expected from HMD Global, the company has now officially started rolling out a new update to the newly introduced Nokia 7 Plus smartphone.
The update heading to Nokia 7 Plus comes with Android Oreo with version 8.1. Although the Nokia 7 Plus was already unveiled with Android Oreo on board but it was unveiled with version v8.0 out of the box. But now with this update, the software gets even sweeter. Talking about the firmware version v2.13B. The update comes with a size of 509 MB in total which is suggested to be downloaded using a WiFi network.
What we get with this update is an improved battery saving feature, navigation buttons have also been reworked for better battery saving. Other changes include a revamped power menu, new menus to settings and display of Bluetooth battery percentage if any device OS connected.
Changelog:
- Software upgrade:- Android Oreo 8.1
- Battery saving navigation buttons
- Revamped power menu
- New settings menu
- Bluetooth battery percentage
- Updated Google security patch 2018-04(April 2018 security patch)
If you are wondering about the release date for 4GB RAM variant of Nokia 6 2018 we have the scoop here. As per our sources in retail, HMD will release the 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM variant of Nokia 6 2018 soon in India.
While the 3GB RAM + 32GB ROM variant is already available to buy from official Nokia shop for Rs 16,999, those waiting to buy the 4GB RAM variant may need to shell Rs 2000 more. The 4GB RAM variant may be priced at Rs 18,999 and it may arrive as soon as next week in India. Though our sources tell us that even if not the next week it will happen within this month itself.
The 3GB RAM variant of Nokia 6 2018 is quite a capable device with pure Android, Snapdragon 630 and 3GB RAM. But with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage on-board many may be fine with paying a bit more to have that extra power and space.
