Thank you Sir.

Just bought Honor 8 Smart (amazon/India). It's on android 6.0.
How can it be updated to Nougat? Can anyone provide link to latest official/stable update?

Android 8.0 Oreo

Given the fact that we barely got Nougat on our phones, do you think that the P9 Lite will get Oreo from Huawei?

I think we will. Have no that much of sure though

Nope, we won't be getting Oreo.
2 major updates for flagship
1 major update for mid-rangers

We'll have custom roms of 8.0 later this year , so be patient

Despite the fact that it has sold a lot, the p9 lite is a mid-ranger device nonetheless. I will be happy if it gets it, don't misunderstand me, I just want to be realistic and not get disappointed when it obviously won't get an Oreo update but hey, you never know. Fingers crossed everyone!

We have to get but we wont
P9 lite is still in the 2 years where oems have to give updates out meaning they HAVE TO roll oreo out for our phpne but the wont gonna or atleast i think p9 lite mini and p9 lite 2017 will get it thats about 90% and above but our phone is fifty-fifty

most oems promise 1 upgrade, and 2 year support. and that's it. i believe huawei gives less support for their budget line, like the lite series.

Well its nvm now huawei confirmed the late 2016 phones like the p9 series and mate 7-8 will get emui 5.1 and maybe android 7.1.1 or 7.1.2 but emui 5.1 will be the last upgrade and the android might stay at 7.0 so were staying with linos and the lite series is not the only budget phone the whole P series is a budget phone

the p9 series are flagships, and the lite series are budget phones. the p9 lite probably won't even get emui 5.1

I actually have not really followed Oreo and it's feature set. Has anyone played around on it yet? Is there anything cool to get excited about in Oreo vs Nougat?
I'm pretty sure the brilliant modders will make a plan and bring custom Oreo ROMS out later.

I think they'll backport some emui 8 features to a Emui 5.0.2 or so.
And I wish they don't, and release full source instead

Oh, another Honor 8 - Oreo topic! How helpfull !!!

Emui 8 is based off Android 8.0 yes. So this means we should be getting 8.0, otherwise it wouldn't be emui 8 it would still be emui 5 with emui 8 stuff ported over.

If it is only released in China we could always Flash the China firmware. "Rebrand"

Nope. It was previously stated by official sources that some EMUI8 features could be brought to Honor 8. Mentioning "some features" and omitting Oreo 8.0 doesn't require a PhD to get the right message.
You don't need the Oreo to get SOME features and the look of the skin. But certainty is only achieved at the release time.

Are you on something? Cus just cus they bring over emui 8 stuff doesn't mean it's emui 8. I was clearly stating that just cus they bring over emui 8 stuff doesn't make it emui 8 smh.

Honor said before that upgrade plans doesn't mean it's the same in a different country, basically everywhere in Europe, Honor is still in testing of the Honor 8 gets Oreo, Honor India said that they will get ported features, now here we see that the Honor 8 is in a list for getting Oreo 8. Where is the problem? If the Chinese one gets Oreo, fine, we can rebrand and get Oreo as well, also it makes development for a custom rom even easier which then should work for every device since everyone has the same specs (apart from the storage options 32 or 64gb).

Lol Sorry

They have stated that it's EMUI 8 only because they want the EMUI version to align with Android 8. I suspect we'll get EMUI 8 or most of it but we won't get Oreo.

EMUI 8 = Android 8, so if it says its 8 we will get Oreo, i dont think porting stuff to N is worth the additional work

They mean we wont get AI functions, thats the lack of system. Treble is still unknown.

IMHO, If so, I suppose it would be a backport, in a EMUI 5.0.x version, such as 5.1 features backported to 5.0.1 we got earlier.
It would be a bad move, I think no one cares, here, about emui, we only care about treble

Honor 8 is in fact getting the update!!

Ok, atleast some good news again. :good:
I can however say that this confusion still has made me convinced that I won't get another Honor device after this phone.

Nice to see Huawei isn't forgetting the previous generation of phones!
The only reason I'm waiting for Pie is to get the 9.0 Treble vendor haha

they still suck imho coz the more premium variant (mate 9 pro) is always their least priority.

gsi emui 9 is possible?
