Nougat, do you guys know if the Honor 8 will receive this upgrade?

[Dconn1975]

So I've been researching a lot about Nougat and one the expected lines to receive it soon is Huawei. Anyone know if that means the Honor 8 too? I've not specifically seen the Honor 8 mentioned but have only seen Huawei. I hope they will allow this upgrade to the Honor 8 as well but since I've switched to Android for the first time this year, it seems that all the brands seem to get their update if they get them a really no determined set time. Just checking to see if we will receive Nougat too?

Thanks

It will, but I doubt that will happen this year.

Random note, what did you switch from @Dconn1975 ? Since you mentioned it, I'm very curious.

Well up until this year I used nothing but apple products. I just wanted to check out Android and have been through quite a lot of phones testing them out. Had both the Samsung s7s. I cannot stand Samsung software interface. Sticky and choppy at the best. Interface is huge to me as apple is rather seamless. I discovered Motorola and they are at the top of my android list actually. I had the Moto Z Force but I like having at least one large screen device. I got the Nexus 6p but only for a night as I knew the 32g wasnt enough. Exchanged it for my Honor 8. End of the month I'm actually going to order another Nexus 6p but in a 64g. Another Android phone I like is Sony. Phones are underrated but it's due to inflated values they keep doing. Economics 101 they deeply fall short in. I've got the Sony Xperia X but I was able to get it for 199 so I saved quite a bit. Now that leaves me with a 5 inch and 5.2 inch. So now my next will be a 5.7 in some type of device. Anyone of you Android purest have any advice on a larger screen Android I should check out instead of the Nexus 6p? As for apple. I may get the iPhone 8 if it's as innovated as rumored to be. I love innovation and unique things. Its why I like the honor 8. I do miss my Moto Z Force. It was a great phone. I will say when it comes to tablets, apple is the winner. I had the tab s2 9.7 and it didn't come near the iPad pro 9.7. My next phone I want to be pretty large as I will use it alot for work and to watch movies on. Note 7 is out and not bc of the battery but the terrible software. It lags and it's sticky. I've also researched the ZTE axon?? Its like 488 I believe. Heard it was a good phone. The very brief time I spent with the Nexus 6p was awesomeness. However if there's a better phone please let me know. I'd like to get something by months end.

I'm quite enjoying the H8 but I did order a Google Pixel. I like one handed high end phones so my choice is pretty limited. I have actually thought about keeping the H8 and canceling my pixel order but the fact that the update may be next year, I'll probably bail. It's a shame cause for the price, this phone hangs with the big boys easy and the IR blaster is going to be hard to let go of. It's just my personal choice but latest updates are important to me and the pixel will basically be the Android version of the iPhone

You have to do what works best for you. I love the size of the Pixel. You should let us know how the two compare with one handed usage since I'm all about that myself.

I'll definitely give my thoughts when it arrives!
