Yeah I agree. I don't think we will see it any time soon but that we will sure get it now after I posted the question on XDA. My thread consist of everyone stating that it's a definite that we will in fact receive the major update. I can tell you guys from having recently owned the 6p that Oreo is very nice. It's better than nougat and appeared to be optimized much better. Settings were a different color and it grouped them up to show less settings but to open one up lead to more detailed setting features. It just cleaned up the settings. There were a couple of other things I noticed but I don't recall right this second. If I think of them I'll post it here. I had gotten a flat out steal on a brand new 6p but it's so big I just couldn't use it as my daily driver so I sold it and doubled my money on it. The 6p and the honor 8 are my two most favorite Android phones. I can tell you that pure stock Android is truly like butter. As Google states it's Android ad Google intended Android to run. Which is without any skin that bogs the UI down which in turn gives you that choppy and sticky lag you get with most Android phones. The only other phone that I've used in Android without any choppy lag is the honor 8. EMUI is just so different and totally unique and it's remotely nothing like pure stock Android like you get on the 6p and pixel devices. Pure android also gives you way less added features as it's truly vanilla in terms of interface. That's why I like EMUI so much. Huawei somehow optimized their skin not to big down the UI and to still run just as smooth if not smoother than pure stock Android plus with EMUI you get a ton of ways to customize your phone where you don't with pure stock Android. Some have even called pure android dull but it was ever so smooth. If I were not to use a honor 8 I'd probably go with the 5 inch pixel 2 as I do not like what these companies are doing now these days with the screen ratios. They are making them 18.9 which makes the phone way too narrow therefore the proportion is just off and weird. I know bc I had bought the Samsung S8 and I could not stand it. Plus it still lagged even with a 835 chip in it. I like the honor 8 ten times better than the S8 but these 18.9 screen ratios make zero sense to me. All they are doing is taking away screen real estate from both sides and making the phone taller and it's odd watching a movie in that ratio. The 16.9 typical ratio is the best and I just think it's a fad right now that will soon go away. It's just looks to be totally off and the screen is way too narrow.
