EMUI 5 Beta - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

So I've looked on HW P9 Android 7 beta and it looks very cool. Will there be a Honor 8 beta ? If so where can we apply/participate for it ? Thanks!

I think so far HUAWEI is still busy with EMUI4.1 (Android 6) on Honor 8 according to their Chinese EMUI forum... There will be an option in future if you want to be a beta tester.

You should be able to across flash the p9 image onto the honor 8. The SOC is the same. I have the honor 5c and have flashed the p9 lite ROM onto it

Honor 8: Kirin 950
P9: Kirin 955
It's like the Huawei P8 Lite and the Honor 4C, the roms (even CM) and kernels are compatible, but I don't think it will work if the SoC is different.

Think they're essentially the same, just a different clock speed on four cores?

They are the same. Kirin 950 is an underclocked version of Kirin 955. Apart from that everything same but don't expect P9 ROMs to work on Honor 8. There are many differences in Hardware such as Leica dual camera setup on P9 is different from the setup in Honor 8. That's only one difference to name. Both devices are completely different and you should not attempt to crossflash firmwares between them.

Leica has nothing to do with lens. They just signed on post-processing algo(on SW side) and Huaweii got a marketing name next to its lens.
Looking at details of cameras on P9 & H8 they are pretty much the same.
Manufacturer of lenses in P9 is Sunny Optical.
In practice it's tough to tell how much of difference that second sensor makes to pictures without being able to disable it entirely, just as it's difficult to tell exactly how much involvement Leica has had beyond slapping its logo on the back of the phone. Indeed, the camera sensor on the P9 is in fact made by Sunny Optical, a Chinese smartphone camera manufacturer—Leica merely certified the module.

Huawei later provided additional information, saying the P9's camera module had been certified by Leica but the German company had not been involved in development or production of the optics.

You will see no mention of the P9 or Huawei on Leica's website, not even in the Press Releases which again suggests this was a licensing deal and not a co-opreration or partnership of any kind.

So aside from downclocked CPU i think rest is pretty much the same. But that is to be verified by complete breakdown of phone...if there is any posted online.

The P9 has a dedicated monochrome mode, three colour profiles and RAW support from within the native app.

Currently Huawei is working on pushing EMUI 4.1 to maximum number of devices including VoLTE update. Once that is completed, hopefully they will start working in EMUI 5. Beta Testing for EMUI 5 starts somewhere around DEC 2016 in UK. Last year Honor 7 got started Beta testing invitation by December. Hopefully Honor 8 will having the same timeline or even before.
Stay tuned to https://club.hihonor.com/ for Beta Testing update for your region.

It's the same camera hardware. One RGB, one B&W. Just no Leica branding and some features left out.
The hardware inside is going to be identical, bar the screen and SoC. The H8 is otherwise the dual SIM version of the 4GB RAM P9, encased in glass.

The version 5.0 of the HiSuite software update was available and I installed it a two or three days ago and the Engrish release notes said something about "Support for upcoming 5.0" which I assumed was referring to EMUI. I'll have to look through the image files in the install directory to see if any look new/different, but the app itself still looks the same.

Honor is committed to providing the best possible experience for our customers. From this year, we are making a commitment to provide customers with access to new features (at least once every three months during the first 12 months) for up to 24 months following each product launch.

Beyond this period, we will continue to provide updates in response to any threats to user safety and security. Our goal is to ensure customers have the best and safest possible experience on their Honor device. Please be patient as the new EMUI update will be coming soon. (NS)

Honor Magic Hands-on Review : It Every Bit Works Like MAGIC!

During my visit to China for Honor’s 3rd anniversary carnival, I got a chance to witness the launch of Honor Magic on 16th December, 2016 and lay my hands on the device for a quick review. Without beating around the bush, here’s what you need to know about Honor Magic:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Operating System- Magic runs on Android 6.0 with Honor Magic Live software out of the box and is completely different than EMUI but feels much lighter and smoother for sure. Huawei developers must have re-structured everything in the backend for a fresh look, design, smoothness and performance.
Hardware- It is powered by Kirin 950 CPU processor, coupled with 4GB RAM for better performance and multitasking with 64 GB of internal memory. I opened all the apps but did not feel any lag or delay while doing so (Thanks to one of the support staff over there who helped me changing the language to English so that I could use and navigate across the settings).
Display- The 5.09-inch device has a screen resolution of 2K (yes, you read it right, not 720P or 1080P. But way better!) and a 3D glass structure to give more strength and look to the device. Screen pixels look extremely real, vivid, sharp and crystal clear.
Look and feel- It looks extremely premium in hand with completely re-structured design and a glossy finish. It looks awesome from any given angle and perfectly nestles into your palm for its decent size and the friendly bezel design. I felt comfy holding the glossy phone without any trouble or fear of the phone slipping off my hand.
Battery- It is powered by a 2900 mAH battery with Huawei’s Magic Power Fast-charging technology which could charge the phone up to 70% in just 20 minutes.
Camera- It has 12 MP dual cameras with RGB+Monochrome support which is capable of taking good pictures even in low light. I took a couple of shots and selfies too.
Connectivity - It supports the latest Wi-Fi bands and Bluetooth 4.2 and micro USB 2.0. Type C charging port helps in quick charging.
Pricing- It is available on Vmall.com, tmall.com, JD.com and suning.com at 3699 RMB, roughly around 36,200 INR.
Please share your thoughts on the same.
Two quick ones:
Is the "3D glass" anything more than the Curves & Edges ?
And when on English language, are there significant UI features or apps that are still locked to Chinese language ? This is of concern for those who get the phone from China. Im familiar with what to expect on EMUI but since this is a new UI im not sure if they have got everything compatible with the English language as of yet.

1- similar to Honor 8 but additionally on Edges as well.
2- When changed the lnguage to English, we were able to navigate across the UI but still there are apps locked with Chinese contents so thats a worry here if someone get it from China but on their global release, this will be different for sure.

No Oreo Update for Honor 8??

I've read the recent article written about Oreo update in Q4 2017 but Honor 6X and 8Pro will be getting the update but not Honor 8 why ?
Here's the link of article https://www.xda-developers.com/honor-6x-honor-8-pro-android-oreo/

Nothing said about P10 and Mate 9,and what? Read the article again. "Before end of 2017". That doest mean we wont get it.
I heard in India or somewhere, there was a fan meet with Honor, there it was said that honor 6x and 8pro will get the update but they didn't say anything about any other devices, not even honor 9 which obviously will receive the update. That's why I think we cannot really say if honor 8 will receive or not. It's totally upto Huawei now ?
No one knows for now...i hope it will receive it. Otherwise my beloved H8 will be the last Huawei/Honor phone that i've ever bought. Simple
There's an update to the honor 8 pro and 6x Oreo update, XDA updated its article stating that the ETAs of Oreo for both devices were'nt official (even if it was by honor Representatives in India meet-up)
Edit: no official words yet
It is given in the article itself that it is unofficial and is not accurate. Just have patience Huawei/Honor will only declare whether they're devices will receive the update after testing it will the device to ensure compatibility. Even companies like Samsung and Motorola haven't declared officially which devices will receive the update.

Yes, and I'm sure honor 8 will get it (it's only one year old and capable)
If they don't update it, I'll make a switch.

Maybe Unnoficially? Devs, think you can do it?
Support agents in the past told us that H8 "surely" will have received the Oreo update (if you remember the screenshot on the internet fast removed from honor), so if this time someone else tells "surely not" i'm not so convinced. To be clear, personally i think that they'll make the same as with H7 and we don't get the update (even 5.1 wasn't released) but i don't trust anyone. When hono made a public annuncement or give us something official, then i'll trust.
Just wait for official informations from Honor
They don't know a thing, a confirmation from honor's social media accounts is the only legit announcement
Just had a quick word with Honor US support team. They told me they don't have any information. So let's ignore the customer support from now on and wait for an official announcement.

When will the gpu turbo update released ?

Hi in forum news they were talking about november for mate 9 big gpu turbo update but we are in the 7th december now !
Do you know when will the new big update released ? And is there going to be a way to update without sdcard ?
If you are on Stock ROM, no unlock bootloader, no custom anything, it will come when they (Huawei) want.
What version exactly ? C432? Cxxx?
Seems to me like it's live:

C432. They told it will be released at November but we already passed November's what is going on
I've been waiting for this too since November
Same here. My mate 9 lags alot while playing online games like pubg. I have 1gb broadband speed but my gaming experience has been horrible coz of weak Gpu Kirin 960.
Announced Gpu Turbo update for Mate 9 in November for all regions but I am still waiting and we are already in 11/Dec.
Contacted Huawei and I was advised to wait and it will come. When asked about a specific date, they repeated the same advise, that is to wait.
Its pathetic!
I am on MHAL29 C432. I live in France and bought my device in France.
Have a good day yall!

Same here. My mate 9 lags alot while playing online games like pubg. I have 1gb broadband speed but my gaming experience has been horrible coz of weak Gpu Kirin 960.
Announced Gpu Turbo update for Mate 9 in November for all regions but I am still waiting and we are already in 11/Dec.
Contacted Huawei and I was advised to wait and it will come. When asked about a specific date, they repeated the same advise, that is to wait.
Its pathetic!
I am on MHAL29 C432. I live in France and bought my device in France.
Have a good day yall!

Hi. Do you live in France? I think you've got the update earlier than some as your on MHAL29 C636.
Could you tell us how is your graphic experience after the update? Thank you.

PUBG works just fine on my phone. Worked fine even without GPU Turbo, I just let the game set itself up instead of cranking everything to the max and then wondering what the issue is.

Cranking! Well I sensed sarcasm here. Anyway, idc.
It works fine for me if I set the game to the lowest possible resolution but that doesn't let me spot my opponents and also, graphic looks unappealing. When it's set to medium (I ain't talking about HD) , it looks better, yet I get lot of lag issues and also fps drops down horribly.
Lucky you coz yours is running smooth as butter, but my games (not just pubg, but every online games) ain't. That's the problem and that's why I am waiting for this Gpu Turbo update and hoping it would solve this problem. Good day to you
I came to the conclusion years ago, that if you want TIMELY updates, buy an iPhone, Google, or maybe the Oppo OnePlus.
Other than that, you'll probably have to wait a couple years, if/until project treble takes hold, as phones are RELEASED with Oreo or newer (not upgraded to Oreo or newer), to get Google to take control of security patches and major updates.

Smaller display, slower cpu, less/same ram, smaller battery, slower gpu... Do you even have eyes, what f****** successor?
Costs 400€, maybe even that is too much..

What are you talking about??
I'm clearly mention about the 10X Zoom Edition high end version NOT the midrange proposal with the Qualcomm 710.

I'll probably go from Nex S Global version to 1+ 7 Pro too. The nex S is a great phone, but I find it very disappointing that the Global Version is still on 8.1, I'm worried how this phone will receive future updates and this is not a problem on OnePlus's side, their developers are a lot closer to the community than Vivo's.

The Oneplus 7 sounds great but the lack of a headphone jack is a let down. Someone on another thread says he's downloading Pie to his Nex right now. If true I'm good with this phone for another year.

Yes oneplus 7 pro seems to be solid upgrade to Nex S.
But again will be missing 3.5 audio jack.
But the main differences is in software between Vivo and Oneplus.
Majority of western world users will prefer Oxygen than Fantouch that's the advantages for oneplus device.

Yes I saw that earlier. Thanks.
I've heard rumours that ColorOS 6 doesn't allow you to install custom Launchers, could some confirm or drop me an interesting link about what's so wrong with ColorOS before purchasing one?
Also, as I never had Oppo before, should rooting and removing Chinese market apps be easy?
Thanks!

If it's like the Chinese Funtouch version then probably not but there are workarounds for launchers I understand. Don't know about rooting and removing Chinese bloat.
First suggestion would be to wait for the Global model and second is to check the Oppo forums on here and elsewhere.
So... is this video up-to-date then?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQFe0R1YirE
I'm asking this because I don't have too much that I ask from Android at all - Nova Launcher + quick-shortcut to turn on LED lamp (e.g. long press on some button) and honestly I would be happy enough

The video looks old because the phone is definitely an old model. What do they say on the Oppo forums.
I long press the volume down button on my Nex. Probably the same for the Oppo. Again, you're asking in the wrong forum.
I like the oppe reno 10x much more than the Oneplus 7. But if there is no development possible on the reno it's worthless

There is an Android Q preview already for the Oppo Reno and soon Oppo Reno 10x Zoom.
https://open.oppomobile.com/wiki/doc#id=10324
But the main question is why would i upgrade my phone within just 9 months?
