I dont think so.. I have heard android 8.0 beta testing is out for mate 9 .. Havnt heard anything about honor 8 till now..

Beta testing is kind of a confidential thing. So you can expect the news will not circulate this early.

.you can download this http://consumer.huawei.com/de/support/fut/
And check however I haven't heard anything. Though where did you hear this

doesn't change the fact that honor cheated me.
new leaks available! The V8 seems to have only a 5.2 screen now.
BTW: I have had no trouble with my H7. until now! Not with undlocking bootblock and not with flashing or using it. So the next generation of H7 is welcome.
If u guys Dont even like Huawei or Honor phones why even comment? Just talking trash about someone elses phone thats just bad karma! I Dont Go around on iPhone forums telling Them their phones suck just because I think so! :Madman:

Cause nobody should be dislead into buying a fancy phone with faulty Software.. sure honor Phones bring awesome Hardware specs, but the bad implementation of emui Roms (notifications issues,..) and the closed source for Kirin socs take the Smart out of Smartphone for me..
Im also done with honor from my side..
The software is perfect and emui 5.0 is coming so..
Look at vernee.cc the alpha (not lite) deca core(10 core),21pm camera, 6gb ram, 128gb storage. 399usd

Is the phone out already? I own a phab plus but did not hear of the phab2 release date.
Looks like they pushed it back until late fall. Bummer. Would like to see this phone in action.

Not sure what you're talking about. Unless they released this outside US already. Looks like a November release.

Echo during a conversation. How to solve a problem?
Seems that an echo is a problem. Hopefully they'll fix that.
Not sure i understood some things as the translation to English wasn't all there. I'm still excited for the phab 2 series.

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...

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.

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?

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.

My dad works for nintendo and he says we are getting oreo. Checkmate non-believers.
I wish I could report this as 'trash' so it got deleted.
This Prue Oreo thing has been discussed all over XDA, just wait for an official announcement from Honor's social media.

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.
