Android N coming?

With the release of more and more details about Android N, does it seem possible a niche phone like the huawei mate 8 will get it? It seems to focus on performance much like this phone does. Itd make a perfect match which makes me believe that it won't release for us. any thoughts or anyone wanna spread some hopeful words?

looking at the pretty insane update speed for the mate 8 ever since it came out, im actually very positive concerning nougat for our device even the mate 7 finally got marshmallow (albeit with some delay), so the mate 8 should fare even better (meaning a faster adaptation to nougat). im not worried

There is a 6.6 version coming at some point. Probably won't be until next year

Don't know if it's a mate but this is the type of specs I thought the mate 8 was going to be

aaaaah 6.6 inch display. u just threw the number out there without any context, that was confusing ^^
and btw the linked pics show an honor model, so it cant be a mate...besides, the mate 9 is rumored to be based on a new SOC, they wouldnt reuse the kirin 950 for two subsequent mate generations

If progress goes well for the Kirin 960, EMUI 5.0 (most likely Android N) will come out near the end of 2016 with Mate 9. If Huawei follow its track record with the Mate 7, Mate 8 should receive this major update a few months after the Mate 9 is released, so Mate 8 owners should get Android N somewhere in the first half of 2017.

yep, that sounds about right

Chances for Mate 8 to receive Last update (EMUI 5.1) ?

I really hope we would get this last update?

100% by the end of April

Shoot, I'd be happy with a stable 5.0
I can't even get anything past 4.0, L29C185B180

Looking forward for the machine learning algorithm

The article was on gsmarena that all phones will get emui 5.1
Mate 8 won't get emui 6 for sure

will mate 8 get emui 5.1 ?

p10 was released with 5.1 the reviews tells when comparing with mate 9 using the same processor the p10 with 5.1 was a lot faster. Looking forward to similiar performance boost with mate 8.
I am still impressed with the performance boost that the emui 5.0 from 4.0 did bring, feels like the phone has been reborn.

I think most people will be happy with 7.0/EMUI 5 if it is stable

EMUI is still Android. 7.0 tough

true,but emui 5.1 has improved touch and machine learning algorithm (app/user behaviour prediction) implemented, which makes the user experience a LOT faster and smoother. i would love to see emui 5.1 on the mate 8

Or the Chinese guy will port it to Mate 8 from P10

Apps is supposed to open a lot faster in 5.1

I read the presentation now for 5.1.
It says apps will open 30 percent faster thanks to their new technology called ultra memory.
Also response times is alot faster Thanks to a new driver it will be as responsive as iPhone they claim

Let them update it to EMUI 5.0 first! They were supposed to release it in Jan and it is March and we are still waiting.

EMUI 5.1 come to us probably with Android 7.1.

I'll have to double check, but I remember reading a release from Huawei, stating the Mate 8 would receive Android 7 sometime
"in the first quarter" of 2017. If that is the case, they have til March 31st.
When I had the Mate2, they stated the update to Lollipop 5.0 would be by the end of the 2nd quarter of 2015. They released it on June 30th.

Why would they give now?
They may update in future. Let's see

hoping for the best

I got 7.0 with 5.0 OTA about a month ago. Loving my mate 8 again..

EMUI 5.0 (7.0) seems to be a battery drain, looking forward to getting EMUI 5.1 (7.1.2)

I presume we get A7.1/E5.1 in August. And Android O before end of the year (optimistic), or January (realistic).

Yes I will have to agree with you... makes no sense to release 5.1 now when O is around the corner..better but energy into that... 5.1 was more interesting a half year ago..

ETA for Nougat 7.1.1 on the Huawei P10 Plus?

Hi,
Does anyone know when we can expect to get 7.1.1 on the Plus?
I'm interested due to the battery improvements brought by 7.1.1.
Thanks!

wondering same here flagship with slow updates like my axon 7 mini

TBH I don't think there will be Android 7.1.1 at all since around September the first devices will already receive Android O and hopefully from that point on it won't be long until we do, too.

How long will it take for us to get Android 8? Care to guesstimate?

Well I'm GUESSING (and hoping!) it will be around November but then again if I look at how long it took Huawei to eventually update all devices with Android 7 it might as well be later than that. It of course also depends which corner of the world you live in. The Europe version of the P9 Plus for example, which I had before the P10 Plus, has received 7 only in MARCH (!) this year... I really hope they are gonna do it more quickly than that this time.

Thanks! I also live in Europe and hope that Huawei get their **** together and update my P10 Plus to Android O in 2017, not in 2018.
The P10 Plus really needs the battery improvements and other under the hood tweaks brought by Android O.

My bet is that it will receive Android O around December/January.
Most probably the Mate 10 will come with Android O, and from there, we have to wait 3-4 months for last generation of devices to update.
The same story was last year, with the Mate 9 announced with Nougat and the P9 and Mate 9 updated later in December.

What about EMUI 8 ?

Is there any news for EMUI 8 on the P10 or P10 Plus ?

Here is the official Huawei statement given to journalists:
"Huawei announced today the Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro and Mate 10 Porsche Design with Android Oreo. The company also unveiled that four more devices will get the latest version of the launcher - the Mate 9, the Mate 9 Pro, the P10 and the P10 Plus. The phablets will get the upgrade in “three to four weeks” after the Mate 10 series launches, while the P-series flagships should arrive “in the near future”.
Huawei announced that the devices with EMUI 8.0 will have faster app launching and better power allocation. According to in-house test results, performance improved by 12%.
The user interface will also suggest features based on environment and user interaction, like a suggestion to turn on the blue light filter. EMUI 8.0 will also offer to open notifications in split-screen if the app is compatible with this feature of course.
Sadly, Huawei Mate 9 camera will not get the real-time smart scene recognition, but most of the other AI features should be part of the update.
Most of the changes Huawei made are actually on the inside. The Emotion UI will sport the same basic design with no major changes.
The announcement also mentioned security updates. Top-notch Huawei devices will get patches every month, with mid-tier phones receiving them every two months. The entry-level handsets will be updated once every three months."

I read some where that it was confirmed by Huawei that p10, p10 plus will get android 8.0 but after mate 10 or something like that. So then I guess it's EMIUI 8 for p10 and p10 plus.

Yes, it's EMUI 8

Download firmware finder in Google Play, then select model C00. You will find EMUI 8.0 for P10 and P10 Plus.
