So when do we get Oreo and EMUI 6.0?

[br77494]

Hope before the end of the year, but I bet it drags out to sometime in February. Anybody have any clues?

I wouldn't have high hopes, still on April security patch. This is one area I find Huawei really lags in.

If we're real lucky we might see a beta before the end of the year...

Actual OTA...i don't see it

Not before march 2018 if at all

 

[Aljean Thein]

Sometime next year. I believe Huawei updated their phones to Nougat around fed-march I believe. Maybe around the same time frame ?

This phone with it's excellent processor and battery would be great on O. Lets hope it comes sooner rather than never

My honor 8 got nougat in November 2016. This was the beta though.

I think I got mine earlier in the year. Just right before Samsung released the Nougat update to their phones.

So maybe we don't get EMUI 6.0 at all? Sounds like we jump straight to 8.0. My bet is January 2018.

Yeah heard that rumor too, whatever they end up calling it I think it'll be just before the new year. There's a small public beta happening now.

As part of the mate 10 announcements today, Huawei confirmed that the Mate 9 should receive emui 8 four weeks after the Mate 10 release! They're also promising monthly security patches though I'll believe when I see it.

They also promised quarterly updates on the 5x...which is still on marshmallow. Not sure which patch, but I am assuming it's over a year old .

Yeah, there track record is not that promising. It worries me about getting updates on the Honor 8 as well.

Oreo Beta is out for C636 (Chinese variant)

Most definitely. So far though... The updates have been near quarterly,close enough to say that they are keeping their promise, at least in the honor 8. In the 5x,not so much

That's true. I guess they've technically keeper their word with the honor 8. It just feels like Huawei forgets us but we have been given 3 updates so for this year. Hopefully project treble will speed things up even more.

well...3 updates...and we are at the beginning of the fourth quarter. i mean, compared to other manufacturers outside of apple, samsung, and google, huawei isn't doing bad on the honor 8.

True, I guess I'm spoiled and want all the updates

Android O Beta build B302 is available for the Mate 9 C567 US Variant. I'll be installing it shortly.


So the first attempt failed. Not sure why. I'll try again in a bit.
