Hi everyone,
I know that the latest hype regarding OS updates goes to the upcoming Android Pie 9.0 version. However, and since that may take some time to reach all users and models, I am still waiting for the Android Oreo 8.1.0 update for my Nokia 3 (TA-1032) since my device is still on Android Oreo 8.0.0. Unless I have missed something here hahaha.
I bought the Nokia 3 as my first new Nokia Smartphone (before that I used Nokia [not Microsoft] Lumia's), if I look at my other Nokia smartphones, the Nokia 3 is the only ne which haven't gotten upgraded to Android 8.1.0 yet.
TA-1047 (Nokia 1) - Android 8.1.0 Go Edition
TA-1029 (Nokia 2) - Android 7.1.1 (8.1.0 Beta available)
TA-1032 (Nokia 3) - Android 8.0.0
TA-1105 (Nokia 5.1 Plus) - Android 8.1.0
Speaking of the Nokia 2 Android Oreo 8.1.0 Beta version, I think that Nokia should opt for a Go Edition instead, because the specifications of the Nokia 2 (ROM and RAM) are in my opinion not suitable for full versions and heavy weight versions of Android. I have given the Beta a try on my Nokia 2, but it slows down the phone immensely.
So, I hope know might wanna look into that more and change to Go Edition for the Nokia 2

At this point I am sure that Nokia is planning to upgrade Nokia 3 directly to Andoid 9.0 Pie from Oreo 8.0.0 somewhere in february or march of 2019. I assure you that you haven't missed the Oreo 8.1.0 update for Nokia 3. The Oreo 8.1.0 was never released for the Nokia 3. I don't know if you already know this but they did something similar with the Nokia 3 before. Nokia 3 was updated from Android 7.1.1 directly to Android 8.0.0 without updating it to Android 7.1.2 version.
The fact that Nokia 2 is still stuck in beta is really sad. Its been more than 3 months. And, I agree with you that Nokia 2 should be updated to Go Edition of Android Oreo by now which is the perfect fit for the device considering its hardware capabilities. But, I think Nokia 2 is still in beta because Nokia might be planning to directly upgrade Nokia 2 to Go edition of Android Pie. And, therefore Nokia is just waiting for the release of Android Pie Go Edition by Google. However, its just a speculation and I might be completely wrong. So far there is no news on when Nokia 2 will complete the beta stage or why was there no Go Edition for the Nokia 2.
I remember the upgrade skip from Android 7.1.1 directly to Android 8.0.0 on the Nokia 3. Well, then Android Pie 9.0.0 is it then hahaha
I agree with u there, one way or another, a Go Edition of Android Oreo 8.1.0 or Android Pie 9.0.0 is a much better fit for the Nokia 2, I hope Nokia will make that choice for this device.
Indeed so, I have read that as well, although for the Nokia 2, I've only came across the Oreo 8.1.0 (Beta) version. Full fetched Android Pie 9.0.0 would not run well on the Nokia 2. As Wilson already mentioned, hope Nokia will bring out a Android Pie 9.0.0 Go Edition for that device
