Huawei didn’t take part in the initial Android P beta program that launched in May 2018, but since the release of the stable OS in early August 2018, the Chinese OEM has upgraded more devices to Android 9 Pie than any other Android vendor.
In addition to the nine handsets that joined Huawei Android 9 beta program in early September, the company has now opened the doors for a host of other devices from last year as well as others unveiled earlier this year.
If you own any of the Huawei Mate 9, Mate 9 Porsche Design, Mate 9 Pro, P10, P10 Plus, Nova 3, Nova 2S, Honor Note 10, Honor V9, Honor 9, or any of the three variants of the MediaPad M5 tablet, you can join the new Android 9 Pie beta program and try out the new OS ahead of the rest. However, do note that this is unstable software, meaning you are likely to come across bugs and errors.
Here is an image of the full list of eligible devices and their respective model numbers.

Of course, this initial update is mostly targeting the Chinese market, but we expect the same program to expand to other regions soon, just like it happened for the first batch.

No, it's no Lolipop....
Look on the fb page (I can not attach link)
Dutch Honor FB page speaks about a special promotion on the Honor Holly and Honor 6 on April 8.
Unfortunately not the Lollipop announcement we were all hoping on. Nevertheless, I've decided to go and order this phone
Great...
Yeah its seems it is the Amazon flash sale with 30€ less than regular price
Damn, they are so bad at marketing, I could write my thesis work about it
Ohh hell! Another disappointment from huawei! I'm starting to learn not to expect anything other than great phones which they don't support from huawei. Better to stick with Qualcomm chipset phones!

Huawei has officially released Huawei Honor V8, but it’s rumored that Huawei Honor 8 will be coming soon with 5.2inch screen. Right now according to the information by ministry of industry, Huawei has the model, CAM-TL00H to be confirmed to obtain network access license. So a lot of people think it is possible the smartphone is Huawei Honor 8.

From various aspects exposed, thiis CAM-TL00H smartphone is very likely to be the Huawei Honor 8, and it’s said Huawei Honor 8 is in preparation, even the design of the smartphone is more beautiful and exquisite than Huawei Honor V8. In addition, it’s different model from Honor V8.
Some peoples claim that Honor 8 is not the lower version of Honor V8, but also flagship smartphone prepared by Huawei, they will have difference in its screen size. And Honor 8 will come with 5.2inch screen and other specs are similar to Honor V8, but Honor 8 is built in one camera. In the other word, if you like 5.5inch screen dual camera, you can choose Huawei Honor V8, but if you are into 5.2inch screen, Huawei Honor 8 is a good choice.
As for the released time, Huawei Honor 8 will come out officially in June, but the price will be at least 1999 yuan. Although the news has not been confirmed, if the model CAM-TL00 is Huawei Honor 8, Huawei will promote its new model soon according to the Honor official marketing strategy.

You are not the only one. This is due to new mtk drivers. You can install new kernel with fast charging in twrp recovery
That's great news, I've seen so little mention from others I kept trying alternative chargers and cables, although I must admit I will have to research as I've no experience of tampering with phone software.
(I came here originally for expert comment on the phone, before buying).

Read the post(s) about this I posted recently in my DarkSense kernel thread - we have fixed it on current software versions.
I was looking lot of threads asking about the update for the device. Whether it will get the update for Android N, O ??
Here I'm going to answer all those people with Honor official commitment as proof.
Honor is now promising that its device is guaranteed to receive continuous software updates over two years, and a bit more afterwards in case of critical bugs similar to Quadrooter, Stagefright bugs. That’s almost as good as the Nexus promise.
Nowadays, Android users have begun to be more conscious of each manufacturer’s software updates, how fast or how often they roll those out, especially when it comes to critical security fixes. Trying to appeal to such users, honor is promising a 24-month period where users will regularly receive new features and , of course, security updates.
So here is honor’s road map for the honor 8 in particular. The smartphone will get updates that include new features, that is, not limited only to bug fixes, up to 24 months (2 years) after the product lunch. Within the first 12 months, in fact, honor plans to roll out those major updates at least once every three months, which practically means there will be at least four major updates within the first year of the honor 8’s life. Security updates and bug fixes will be rolled out “in a timely manner”. That, however, doesn’t really say whether honor plans on releasing monthly security updates as Google does.
However, Honor does promise to go the extra mile and release very important security updates even beyond that 24-month period. Honor, unlike other OEM's have a track record of updating its Honor 4X till date (2 years from the date of release). It might be little late. But mostly it wont deny.
