How to remove battery on Nokia 8.1 ?

The Nokia 8.1 does not have a removable battery. The non-removable battery helps the manufacturer create a sleek design, lightweight and good looking product. It also helps with recovering a stolen phone. A removable battery can be taken out by a thief to stop the phone from tracking its movement. You need to visit the customer care to get the battery replaced.

How to upgrade my OS to the latest version on Nokia 8.1 ?

You can easily upgrade your phone with OTA Updates.

You simply need to Go to Settings > About phone > System updates.
Check for updates >> Install.
Make sure you have at least 40 % battery, to prevent your phone from bricking.

For unofficial upgrades, you need to root by unlocking its bootloader, install a recovery and flash a supporting zip along with gaps. XDA Developers is really a helpful site for the process, support, and Custom ROMs.
