Nokia 8.1 receives the fifth beta of Android Q for developers. Confirming once again the speed with which HMD releases updates on its main devices. To announce the novelty is the usual Chief Product Officer of HMD Global Juho Sarvikas, to whom these types of communications aimed at end users are usually entrusted.
