Which EMUI version are we looking at on the Honor 8?

I didn't know if it had been mention yet, but does anyone know which EMUI version we will be looking at on the Honor 8? Also while we are talking any news about it getting Nogurt?

EMUI 4.1 I believe

It is EMUI 4.1 , runs fluidly and there's no confirmation of nouget as far as I know

emui 4.1 skin on top of android 6.0.1.
bt we can soon expect emui 5 based on android 7 as its alderdy been tested on huawei p9

EMUI 4.1, I hope in EMUI 5 will be more stock Android.

Apparently Honor has promised at least 24 months of software updates for the Honor 8 so it will definitely be on its way eventually, hopefully with more Android and less Huawei bloat.

VPN for update?

Hey guys, so a friend of mine has a One Plus 3 but he didn't recived the update yet. So he utilized a vpn to connect to servers from Canada and UK and he got the update.
Has some one claimed that he got the update from sweden, if there are any possibility to connect to another area to look for that update. Specially in sweden

Sadly that won't work unless you have a device from that region or you're running the previous firmware from that region. The OP3 isn't region specific, so he can get the update from any region. The Honor 8 though has various models for each region of the world. (L04/L14 US, L09 EU, etc)

Ohh I see, thanks for responding. That is sad tho :/

You shouldn't need to connect to the device OEM's server via a VPN in order to get updates for your device. As OTA OS updates are sent to each device dependent on their model number and the regional OS settings.

if you know the update version just download it online and manually install it?

I read the thread but I'm out of luck cuz I don't have wifi no router near me. To complicated to do that.
:/

I don't know why everybody is in such a hurry to upgrade their OS from Marshmallow to Nougat. When Nougat is only available for a handful of devices at the moment. The majority of the other Nougat release are still in the Beta cycle and have numerous bugs that have yet to be addressed yet.

Just wait till you notice that allot of features that were in Marshmallow are missing in the Nougat Beta. While the performance maybe slightly better than Marshmallow. Nougat still isn't ready for retail use on the Honor 8 yet.

All essential features are here. Getting 5 to 6 sot.
I haven't faced a single issue. Plus I'm not a guy for complaining about features. I buyer the Honor 8 because of speed. And that's what I'm getting.

It's because the Nougat on this phone means EMUI 5 and it's 10x better than EMUI 4.1 .. trust me
it's a much better phone on Nougat EMUI5 ( Even Beta) BTW I think the current B360 for the L04 is the final Beta.
It will go live in the next 4 or 5 weeks. (Huawei is really slow)

B360 is definitely a fully functional build. I have yet to find anything broken and it even includes Vulkan api. As said above, EMUI 5.0 is miles ahead of EMUI 4.1. It's a much better and cleaner looking UI.

AH! I forgot that the new version of EMUI is better than the current version. It's the same with most android device OEMs.

Till 389 Honor was releasing new firmware almost every week or two.
Now after 389 Firmware Finder can't find anything newer.
Do You think this means end of the line, or they work on something big ?

Should we wait for EMUI5.1? I heard the CEO of Huawei confirmed EMUI 6. Maybe the beta testing will start right after the release of Mate 10 ??

I have been using Huawei since 2014 and as per my experience, they provide two Android version updates for every model. Used Honor 6, 6x, 8, 8 Pro. All of these got two OS updates. So I am positive that even View 10 will get Android Q.

Well we should receive the update, I think. The phone was released in January 2018, so it's a year and a half old now. The Android Q comes out this year, so I'm guessing we'll get it. At least I'm hoping we'll get the update. :laugh:

Regarding what the US government is doing, I'm not sure we will ever have Android Q on our phone :/

Huawei will be able to deliver Android version updates via the AOSP, but it will lose early access to the updated versions provided by Google, such as the Android Q

Android 10 update

I was wondering when we will get the Android 10 update

Wondering the same .....

Probably not for a while, since I am not aware of any rumors of betas, even closed ones.
No respectable company should be pushing out a new product with a two year old OS, but here we are...
I like MIUI though, very Apple-like and the Mi Note is the first Android I am using without a third party launcher.

The update is on the way in February. (CC9 Pro China Developer ROM)

Hope you are right....

its release in china as beta maybe after one month or less

Most likely delayed because of coronavirus....

Got security update yesterday and miui 11.0.8.0 but still no Android 10....

Xiaomi is a joke. Second update in a row just for the security update. They will lose a lot of customers if they continue like this

Nope.
It will come when it's ready.
There are other brands out there so just buy something else.

Cmon relally? You heard about corona, or? There was not really a lot time this year for developing new roms..... BTW Android 10 is currently in Beta available for Note 10....
