Huawei Honor 6 plus leaked with Metal Frame..
http://www.gizmochina.com/2014/12/09/huawei-honor6-plus-leaked-metal-frame/

Still not clear if Honor 6 plus comes with the 64bit Kirin 930 or not.

I have also seen huaweimobileshop website reported: Huawei Honor 6 Plus With Metal Frame
Huawei Honor 6 Plus very likely using metal frame, very looking forward to the release of honor 6 plus.

It is for sure metal frame. Clearly noticeable from pictures on TENNA. Makes sense also because one of the design comments many reviewers had made about the Honor 6 is that it had a plasticy frame that made is seem less premium, but me personally find it comfortable and ergonomic to hold than the metallic frame.

Mines on the way; it already got shipped to US and they received it (my cousin); hes bringing mine next week when he comes to Peru for holidays; bought it from oppomart (got a 3-4 day delay but got shipped and package received). Will review it once I physically get it.

May be not quite the first. A couple of us had them last week and already been busy unlocking and rooting them. But they are a great phone.

Got mine last sunday and it was awesome

You might have already seen the next version of EMUI, version 5.0, on the Mate 9 announced by Huawei recently. That same software is coming soon to Honor’s flagship, the Honor 8. We have 55 slots open to anyone with an FRD-L04 version of the Honor 8, and another 10 slots for those with the FRD-L02 model. You can tell which model you have by looking on the back of your Honor 8 under the Honor logo. Here’s an overview of what’s new:
Key features:
Simpler user interface: a brand new user interface design, comprising blue and white inspired by the color of Aegean Sea; a simplified interface system with an easy three-step-operation for over 90% of the time.
Improved performance: smoother system responsiveness enables quicker browsing in all activities.
A more secure system: strengthened security over user privacy, mobile payment and communication, and app usage.

Wow something official
May I have two questions? I know that the answer is quiet unlikely not known yet but:
-Will you have beta slots for european devices as well?
-About how long the beta testing will take part?

Right now it's North America and India only. My guess is that the beta ROM will be leaked and everyone will be able to install it if they want.

Currently launched for India and US but official plan is to start for UK in the same month so wait is not longer..

@svetius Honor India has also launched its Beta program for its Honor 8.
But the current XDA and Indian one have different registration forms.
Will there be any difference in the version provided ?
or any other difference in beta testing ?
Indian Beta testing info can be got here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/honor-8-honor-8-smart-india-emui-5-beta-t3495585

Cheers honor 8 users

I am really excited to see that we have beta testing initiating already! I bought this honor in hopes of quick updates and now that I see they're going to be a reality.... I've got a Sony Xperia X Compact to return...

Is there a way to undo an application with the wing user name?

Submitted and done, I hope I'm not late

Hopefully it goes from beta to production just as swiftly.

So, no idea when there will be official release, but it seems stable. It is very similar to the P10's firmware at this point.
Update: The chinese version includes Google Play Services out of the box. Interesting.

Then Huawei's statement about "Phones on EMUI 5.0 won't be getting 5.1" is utter bull****? Nice going there Huawei! >< Are there any changes in the Camera App, enabling the Pro Video mode? Would you mind seeing how it does the GPS, with Galileo as well? Does it see more, then 1 EU satellite?

Yes, it's utter bs. EMUI 5.1 is definitely coming. Any build above 300 will be labelled as EMUI 5.1.
Regarding your other questions, if I have time to try I will.

Thanks, work with that German fella from the GPS thread to log the output and see if it's changed. To test the camera, well try zooming 1.1x and see if the quality and sharpness improves. Was a 'bug' on some firmwares.

any idea when is going to be available for the chinese version non rooted?

Do you know if it will include Android 7.1.2 for final release??

i was comparing emui 5.1 to my mate 9 pro emui 5.0 and i don't really see any visual differences. even the new gestures on one hand ui is already in emui 5.0.

Still on December security update here lol

Mid June is a spoken timeframe to start with that update.
But still don't know, if P9 gets it too or only Hisi 960 and Hisi 95x getting that smaller patch.

Does the version matter? You can have a Chinese version too, if you want! I'm sure Emui 5.1 is much better , then 5.0. That ought to be enough arguments in favor of the new version for now

Yes, I am specifically looking to have the ability of
Hiding apps,
Removing the navigation bar when using the navigation circle,
Double tap when driving,
Customisation,
Better Dock and home screen,
and Softtouch
as this gem is capable of all of them. Otherwise for a few "Bugs fixed" and "Security patches" wouldn't wanna see another 1GB of storage and memory wasted.
Plus the Chinese version has a different story and nothing to do with the international version. That is why it matters.

Honor beta testers recruitment for Nougat and Above- official form India only

Hi Folks,
Sharing the good news about the honor beta testers recruitment. Got this Google form for the same through trusted channels and is prepared by our fellow member Abhishek @amulbaby on XDA. A big thanks to him in putting his efforts in preparing this form.
Did someone just say EMUI 6.0 :fingers-crossed:

As the image gives a glimpse (also prepared by Abhishek), It is for Android Nougat upcoming updates and above so we can expect the Oreo update, though I am not confirming anything about it but we can expect this (at least)
Form includes below devices so wish we get for all of them, at least future Nougat bug fix updates and security updates if not Oreo.
Honor 5C
Honor 6X
Honor 8
Honor 8 Lite
Honor 8 Smart
Honor 8 Pro
Fill out the form and Enjoy.

Title updated as this form is limited to India only. Will check more on this and confirm.
Even though limited to India but as India variant may get the update, we can wish others will get as well.
So others can fill as well, it wont harm anything

rip india only.... but atleast they will port it then to other variants also 5c is in list so it will most likely get it right? also lastest 5c update kinda make apps unstable, randomly just shuts down like once in a week.... not big issue but if you do banking and stuff its kinda annoying....

Oreo update confirmed by Honor CEO

In an interview with Honor CEO, George Zao, he confirms which devices will be receiving the Oreo update, including the Honor 8.
Unfortunately I can't post a link, but here is the confirmation below. You should be able to find yourself the link online, or it is available on the Honor 8 Reddit forum.
MONDO MobIT: Which models will Android Oreo come in yet?
George Zao : "The tests are in progress, and the device list is not final, but we are trying to expand it as much as possible. For now, I know that Oreo will soon be on Honor 8, Honor 8 Pro, Honor 9, Honor V9, but also some other Honor smartphones. "

Here is the link to the reddit post that links to the article which which is in serbian btw:

All Honor and Huawei Devices will get treble support because Huawei already seperates driver etc. And the OS on two different partions("vendor partion") So its very easy for them to support treble. Other manufacturers like OnePlus and Nokia dont do that, thats why they dont get treble support. But we will get treble support for sure.

wait is on then..,

YAY!!
I have the impression that there won't be any Beta testing for Oreo, unlike Nougat. If there is one, please keep us updated so I can register!

From what I read, the Reddit quote didn't agree with the Mondo article. In the Mondo interview all he specifically mentioned was the 7, 9, and V9. He also said other models but nowhere did I read Honor 8.
