Nokia 8, HMD Global’s current-generation flagship device, will soon get Android 9.0 Pie update.

Juho Sarvikas, Nokia’s Chief Product Officer made the announcement on Twitter. Sarvikas revealed the information in response to a user’s query when he asked about face unlock and camera update, which the company released for Nokia 7 Plus and Nokia 8 Sirocco.

Sarvikas, in his reply, revealed that the developers’ team is working on new features including better camera experience and ARCore support for the Nokia 8. The changes will come with an OTA along with Android 9.0 Pie. Sarvikas also mentioned that HMD has already pushed an ‘essential’ camera update for the Nokia 8 and that it is “evaluating solutions” to enable face unlock.

The Camera 9.0 update was released for Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 7 Plus and Nokia 6.1 smartphone. It enables switching between different aspect ratios and shooting functions, along with adjustments to parameters within different camera modes, such as the intensity of effects like Bokeh and Beautify. The update also enables Google Motion, a feature that allows capturing short videos, create GIF and share instantly on the social media platform.
