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

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).

my guess is we wont see emui 5.1 on the mate 8 but go straight to android O instead (= emui 6.0?)

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..
Anybody heard any news/rumors on when Honor 8 will get 7.1.1 release? Also, is 7.1.1 EMUI 5.1 or is EMUI 5.1 a separate release?
Axon 7 got its 7.1.1 update last week!
Lol, theirs been nothing from Honor for the US H8 sense January. All that's expected from here is a security patch and that's about it.

I agree. I've seen no signs that Honor has any honor regarding the make believe agreement with XDA (and their customers), but I'd love to be shown how wrong I am ;
Really bad. I bought Honor trusting they will be better at updates. If they don't, then it's to break that trust. OnePlus seems better off now in updates as well (along with Axon 7).
The L-04 is neglected if we are being honest here. The other models got that update to fix the battery issue on Nougat but then we have the L-04 still with a December 1 security update. The others have January...
Still a wonderful phone just that sometimes models get neglected while the others get the updates. However, I hear that they do all their testing in the Chinese forums where a 7.1 build is also.

I have the L14 really like the phone but Nougat and EMUI 5 has been disastrous for my battery life. Huawei communication is completely non-existent and disappointing. I am thinking of going back to MM and hopefully they'll fix the battery life. Unfortunately this has left a bitter taste so my next phone may be something else.
Might as well forget about 7.1.1 and hope it gets 7.1.2 at this point. By the time we get an update there will be Android O.
According to HuaweiEMUI page on Facebook(sorry I can't post url because I'm new to here), EMUI 5.1 won't be offered to honor 8 for now, however Huawei will release an update after June this year which includes fixes and feature enhancements.
Yeah updates for Honor 8 was a big letdown, my last honor device for sure.

So Honor 8 not getting 5.1 or get 5.1 after June? I just need them to solve the terrible battery life on my L14 on B360. This device has been excellent but their "2 year" to upgrades and updates is highly questionable.
To be fair, since honor use their own chip, it will take longer to update. But I'm agree, I expected better from honor, especially after their partnership with xda

Hi @breezyhill
https://www.facebook.com/HuaweiEMUI/
EMUI Unfortunately, EMUI 5.1 will not be offered to devices that have EMUI 5.0, EMUI 4.1 or lower systems for now. Some of the new functions from EMUI 5.1 will be built into a debugged, featured-enhanced version of EMUI 5.0 that will be released after June 2017. Stay tuned.
EMUI Hi all, at present we cannot provide a definite date on the release for your devices. However, the Android N (EMUI 5.0) updates will be available for Mate 8, P9, P9 Plus, P9 Lite, Honor 8, Honor 6X, Nova, and Nova Plus. If your phone is one of these mentioned, rest assured that we are actively developing and testing the N update to ensure the best performance for you. Thank you for your understanding and patience
I recently got the Honor 8, they need to push out the B380 update to USA users, at least give us some security patches.

It's bad that your having to ask for this as it was Honor USA that worked with XDA to promise two years of updates.
U should go onto Honor USA Google+ group to hassle them for your updates.
Remind them that it was then that made this promise
Message of honor

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.

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.

There is rumors and there is fact. Emui / Hauwei is talking about only oreo for kirkin 60 and up. Hauwei wants to adapt oreo features and virtual desktop to work with noughat OS. Thats not that cool to do and leave us on nougjat , especially when HONOR low price phones from a few years ago ARE getting factory updates to oreo. Considering us mate 8 owners paid a very pricy price tag to buy mate 8 and also are so called vip customers why don't we get what we deserve. ? Mate 8 can run oreo easily. What is sucks about mate 8 is the crappy video card ... Video card is the reason hauwei is trying to avoid mt8 oreo. Fact . hope it makes sense.
