I guess you're asking if the Mate 7 will eventually get Android Nouggat. I would say highly unlikely, i wish we will get it but we'll have to see. P9 already got a beta of it with EMUI 5 so let's hope it happens!

Yeah. According to sources in Italy in February will be updated

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.

Is the 6X going to get project treble after it gets its Oreo update?

So with this new Treble breakthrough, I can see it is very important for ROM development, but only devices that ship with Oreo and some that get updated to it will have it.
Is the Honor 6X getting Treble when the Oreo update arrives, or is it unknown?

Its big brother, the Mate 9, got it, and that didn't ship with Oreo. https://www.xda-developers.com/stock-android-oreo-huawei-mate-9-project-treble/
But OnePlus devices won't get treble. So much for them being better development devices.

They will only get treble to this device in the same update as Oreo, I seriously doubt they would do that later.

Huawei probably will do it because this is a fairly good device in some way,but there is also that chance that she won't because this is not any top of the line phone...

yeah...it's absolutely steal for money i paid ....emui 5.0 kinda messed up performance & overly done ram management - when i tried emui 5.1 on this device- performance was buttery smooth...it was night & day difference compared to 5.0
its pretty much capable but just frustrating experience as of now with emui 5.0 & zero stable custom roms as of now

The only way our device will get Treble is if it supports the dual partition like on the Pixel phones. Maybe a Dev can tell us if this device supports that since it cannot be done via OTA updates.

Nope, Mate 9 got treble support and it doesn't have dual partition, Xperia XZ1 & XZ1 Compact doesn't have dual partition and it is launched with Oreo and project Treble.
In my opinion the 6X will get treble with Oreo, because Honor already have a separate Vendor partition that's required for project treble

I'm seeing other companies reporting that it could brick their devices doing the dual partition over the air. Thanks for the info though.

Question regarding ROM Update to Oreo

Hey everyone,
after reading for a few hours in the Guidesection, just a quick question: If i understand it correctly, the only option for me to get the Oreo Update on a EU Honor 6x (BLN L21c432b382) would to rebrand it like that https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-debranding-to-india-variant-bln-t3679402 and after that use this Guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/update-bln-l22c675-emui-5-x-x-to-emui-8-t3819317 to get Android 8.
Or did i miss an easier solution?
Thanks and cheers from Berlin.

Yeah, leave Huawei and buy Nokia.
I bought my parents version 6.1. They received Pie within an hour. Am awaiting version 6.2 in april. Call me lazy.
