Why do you say this? Do you have insider information? Personally I think we see it after Xmas.

Oh no, no insider info It's just a guesstimate, I'd say November it is.

How about Oreo will be released some time in the future. Do I win now??

Payoff would be very low

Just doesn't make "business" sense, to release Oreo, on older units, right before you release your brand new model.
Would be "nice", but I just can't see them doing it from a business perspective. Realistically, I don't see it coming to the
older units OFFICIALLY until around the Christmas holiday time frame, if that soon.

If "older" flagship does not receive android update, that would not generate much trust from consumers in company to buy new phone.

At the very least let us get EMUI 5.1 on our Mate 9.

That's silly to say the least, a phone isn't about software, I would buy the mate 10 if I could, even if I had 8.0 on the Mate 10. This argument is invalid, to me at least...

I am registered for the FR-FUT-MHA-L29B Oreo Beta test; i have been accepted, but i am still waiting the OTA

That's your opinion, mate, but I truly disagree.
Many customers pay attention to new software features that improve the overall user experience (see Android's doze improvements) and that are not related to hardware.
So, IMHO Huawei's hurry to release Mate 9's Oreo beta BEFORE Mate 10's release seems to be all about customers confidence-making

Yeah kinda sounds silly when I read it now, what I meant was, it's not all about software updates, ffs, the mate 9 is the best phone I've had until this day, why whine about not having O or P or whatnot. Of course I love new updates with new functions, used to be an update freak, not anymore I guess.

They are saying the LG V20 will be the first to have 7.0, OUT OF THE BOX.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the N6 has had preview builds for a while... And at any moment there will be the official 7.0 release for the nexus 6.
Someone will have the zip soon im sure or even a rom

This will be Nexus 6 last OS update. We will not get android O officially. But we will get security updates till android O drops. so we get 1 more year with this phone.
OTA will roll out first. Hope someone captures it for us. Images to follow on google site in a day or 2 along with source.
agree. and i might get the v20 for its reputation of lg for being expensive... hmmm..

Information regarding Oreo

Chat Transcript
20:07:18 - undefined said : Please wait one moment...
20:07:21 - Mike said : Hello, Joe Lyons . My name is Mike. How may I help you?
20:07:33 - Joe Lyons said : Hi Mike. Will the Honor 8 be receiving android oreo?
20:08:51 - Mike said : I'm afraid that we do not have any official information regarding that. We only know that the Mate 9 is the only model which is currently added in the Oreo beta program.
The beta program is slated to be finalized during December, at which point more of our models will be added to the Oreo update plan.
20:09:09 - Mike said : The Honor 8 will most likely be added, as well, but we did not receive any official information regarding the models which will be added.
20:09:18 - Joe Lyons said : Thank you!
20:09:26 - Mike said : You're very welcome.
20:09:37 - Mike said : Would there be anything else that I may assist you with?
20:10:11 - Joe Lyons said : No thank you. Thanks for your help

The Magic 8 Ball says "Ask again later" so that was no help. The fortune teller told me that my long dead great, great grandfather said "maybe" , so that was better. So, I was walking the beach and found this strange bottle. While rubbing the sand off a genie appeared and gave me one wish, so I thought, here's my chance. For my one wish I said, "I want Oreo on my phone". So now I have it, but the trouble is, I can't see the screen for that damn cookie stuck to the screen.

That settles it then, since I heard those rumors also. It's probably something to do with Nintendo buying Huawei and renaming their Honor series Pacman.

George Zao : "The tests are in progress, so the list of devices is not final, but we try 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. "

Rumor

It will be true that tomorrow it will be released for LG G6 H870-- 10 may -2018
Any source???
I read this recently on Reddit, but the guy did not put any sources either..
I think we just have to wait a few days / weeks, there are two versions that were updated last days, there is no reason that it does not happen quickly on others !
So just relax the ass, and enjoy life while waiting ?

may not be so privileged .. for the v30 there was two updates, one in 8.0 without ThinQ, and one in 8.1 with ThinQ in the same week, just depended on the model..

Honor 8 Update Thread

This is where you guys will spread information about any OTA software updates Honor sends, or any new info from the FF app. This will be easier for people to navigate through rather than having people constantly post a new thread for every update (whether it'd be security patches, etc.), which can get repetitive for some people hence why I'm doing this. Hopefully this makes things easier for everyone.
I should also mention that whatever existing thread out there related to this is fine but anything afterwards should just be put here.
No
Don't tell others where to post. In fact, I hope 20 new threads open up after every single update.

If you like to see a bunch of new threads for every update then by all means let it be. I just thought I'd make everyone's lives easier by just checking one thread for every update. You don't have to be an arse if someone's trying to change something for the better, and no I'm not trying to force anything down anyone's throat. People said it was annoying and I thought I'd make a simple solution.

You're not. The forums for the 8 are dead. No ROMs being released, just a bunch of whiners complaining about Oreo. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Just saying.

ANDROID P for u ultra

I know it's too early to ask this question, but I wonder if there is any chance that our phones get android pie update ? HTC did not confirmed it yet, though. What do you think about it ?
It was a notable omission from the list of phones due to get P in their recent tweet, however I've also heard its just going to be super late ie Q2 2019. For what it's worth I've sent like a dozen emails to HTC none of which have been replied to, simply asking why I'm still on march 2018 security update and when the phone is getting P.
