A trick to push Oreo for your Nokia 5 and Nokia 6:
In case the update is available for your market and phone variant and you are not able to see the update for your Nokia 5 and Nokia 6 you can use this trick. Though success is debated as many users are reporting that it worked for them and some didn’t get the stable update pushed even after using this trick.
Go to Settings–>Apps & Notifications–>Device–>Apps (if you are on Nougat)
Go to Settings–>Apps & Notifications–>Apps & Notifications–>App info (if you are on Oreo Beta)
Now go to the right corner and tap on three dots and tap on show system. Go to the Google Service framework app–>tap on storage–>Clear cache and data.
Now, check for update and you should be able to get the stable Oreo update. This works only when the Oreo update is available for your market and HMD has already announced it to be a phased update. So, a bit of patience may also help.
