Will the Honor 8 receive emui 8?

[Aljean Thein]

They are testing it in house, I saw a comment from honor on one of their 7x instagram posts and they replied that they are testing all features to make sure it's all good before announcing for honor 8. Honor 9 beta will be coming soon, so it is probably going to be end of January again.

Oh nice ! They just did a P10/Plus beta earlier in the month from what I saw online. Hopefully the Honor line up are next

When is honor beta coming?

The posts said the honor 9 beta program has started in India and will start elsewhere soon.

Most likely gonna see the official Oreo update around Feb / March like we saw the Nougat update around that time earlier this year

Hi guys. Looking at the information I've seen Android version 8 (Oreo) will be released on Honour as EMUI 6.0 and is already its Beta form on the Honour 9. I also think it will make it to the Honour 8 early next year

EMUI 6 or 8?

Not that I have seen unfortunately

I might even settle for 7.1.2 ?? :-(
Currently 7.0 (which isn't horrible)

Based on what they said, it will go from 7.0 to 8.0. Don't expect any intermediate updates

Honor 9 will come first, then older models, the same way we got it first on honor 8 last year before the older and lower range phones.

I'd probably agree with that. The Honor 8 is almost an older device for them at this point, but still within their window for promised software updates. So, I'm thinking it will likely be a lower priority for them. Still very impressive device today - even with Nougat.

I was just thinking about how the Honor 8 is sort of an "older" Honor device at this point; which is crazy because it's not even a year and a half old, I believe. There's the Honor 8 Pro, then the Honor 9, and now the Honor V10. Man, one thing you can say about Honor: they really know how to pump out the phones!

Huawei releases over a dozen phones this year! Crazy

That is unfortunate but it does make sense.

It definitely still is very impressive. I still like mine and don't have the heart to get rid of it

You forgot the p line, 7x line, and mate line!

Oh most definitely. It's great when the ceo can confirm it. Means more than reports from reps
