Honor 6X Android Oreo Update

Hi i had a question about the new Android Oreo, is the Honor 6X going to be updated or not ? And if yes then are all the models going to be updated or only select models ? I have a GR5 2017 (Honor 6X)
Model: BLL-L21 is going to be updated ?

While honor didn't confirm anything, it can be upgraded to android O.
But don't get to excited, as it may not get it (like the 5x ended up with only MM)

honor provided nougat update on honor 6x earlier than redmi note 4. Honor 6x is worldwide popular device they will definitely provide o update

yes we will get android O update by the end of this year. but honor has to decide to do the same thing like they released beta version of emui 5 for testers or direct release. andorid O is emui 5.1 on the way.

Honor didn't confirm anything so far, so these are just expectations

I hope this is true

I'll try ask honor and see their answer

I got the same model as you bll-121 gr5 2017 but why doesn't it have any custom rom or kernels or any mods

It will definitely get it

Probably not going to happen - unless it is very easy to port from Honor 8 Pro/Honor 9.

While your guess is on point (because honor 5x didn't get it), I think honor will try updating the 6x to nougat

.

I too think the same as Honor 6x is a very popular phone and it received the nougat update without much delay.
Honor 6x BLN-L22

Well they dropped the 7 because of Vulkan and Google's update policy.
As for the 6x, I don't see why they'll leave it without update to oreo.
If it happened that'll be the biggest mistake honor will do this year

Guys, I'm a little confused.
GR5 201 7 and Honor 6X are the same phone. But what about Mate 9 Lite? It is the same phone too, the only differences are the shell and the brand logo.
I mean, Huawei is working on Android 8 for the Mate 9, so probably Mate 9 Lite will get Oreo too.
In fact, when Huawei updates a phone, the lite version usually gets the same update too. Let's think about P8 and P8 lite, P9 and P9 Lite, etc.
But I'm worried because Honor 5X stopped receiving updates at Marshmallow, after only one year of guaranteed support.
I'm hoping for Mate 9 Lite update, what do you think?

Following the record of huawei and updates, it should get oreo.

I think it will get the oreo update as honor 4c had recieved two major updates too.. and if it dont get it..
Then there is honor 8 lite/p8 lite 2017/p9 lite 2017 released with nougat.. it will surely receive one major upgrade thats oreo.
And this device is almost same to ours only the difference is dual cameras and screen size..

So someone at xda can port official emui 5.1 with oreo from honor 8 lite to our 6x..

Porting EMUI will be difficult, as it isn't open sourced like MIUI

According to this report Honor 8, Honor 8 Pro and Honor 7X will get the Oreo update soon
http://www.news18.com/news/tech/hon...-to-get-android-oreo-update-soon-1600563.html
Honor smartphones including Honor 8, Honor 8 Pro will soon be receiving Android Oreo update in an upcoming version of Honor's in-house operating system - EMUI, running on the smartphones. As per sources, the smartphones are next in line after the Huawei sub-brand rolled out the Android Oreo update for its two other offerings, the Honor 9 and the Honor V9.
Along with Honor 8 and Honor 8 Pro, the recently-launched Honor 7X will also receive the Oreo update soon. Though the Chinese smartphone manufacturer has not disclosed the timeline for the update, it is expected to be delivered to the Honor devices by the end of December 2017.

If it does, it probably won't be until their new models with Oreo have been out for a while.

Hope we will start getting the updates soon

Bruh The Honor 8 Lite Is Weaker Than The Honor 8. If The Honor 8 Lite Gets It, That Means That The Honor 8 Will Get It Too.
The Mate 8 Should Be Getting Oreo Too Because It Has Kirin 950 I Think.

wellllllllllllllllllll, do somebody have any original articles, that refers to the sources? I totally confused with this. Someone says Honor 8 will get, someone not. How to understand this situation. UUUUUUHHHHHHHHHH

Please, someone tell me this is a f**** joke. H8 Lite? Really? Honor is kidding us. In the first they stayed in silence, then confimed the update, then silence, then confirmed and then again "under testing phase" ...and now we are excluded? We aren't stupid. If honor 8 lite gets it it is IMPOSSIBLE that H8 hasn't passed the tests, because it has better hardware (based on Kirin processor, though). Someone explain this to me, please.

Nougat EMUI 5 future updates

How do you think, will Huawei release updates for EMUI 5 Nougat when EMUI 8 Oreo is already released?
I'm thinking about downgrade to Nougat, where I can use magisk and exposed...

No. It is standard to forget about old Android.
Is any brand who do different?

lol I decided to downgrade to Nougat to use Magisk and Xposed and it's a right thing for me, no regret. Oreo is great, good battery (but not much compared to Nougat, fast and smooth (Nougat already has this) and has low ram usage but I cant live without Xposed, the benefits from Xposed are extremely big so Nougat is my daily home lol

Never heard of any phone maker that does this. It's Nougat or nothing

Official LOS or RROS

Anyone working on official custom builds of LOS or RROS for honor 8(frd)? emui sucks.

They have unofficial ones (though the battery life sucks on both). I would recommend AOSPA (paranoid android) which I am currently using.

Wait until EMUI 8.0 With Oreo and Treble drops, then use a Treble compatible ROM, if you look at the Honor 8 Pro forums, they already use a Treble ROM which is near perfect. Should be the same for us then just a little more patience.

I don't have doubts, Honor France and Honor Poland both said that the Honor 8 will get EMUI 8.0, they also mentioned that "One does not go with the other" in other meaning "EMUI 8.0 doesn't work without Oreo" which means that EMUI 8.0 will also include Oreo. If it was only a feature update/ported features, they would have called it EMUI 5.2 like they did before with EMUI 5.0.1.
Also all Huawei/Honor phone get Treble alongside Oreo since they already use their own vendor partition which means they don't have to reformat the device (which COULD result into a brick, thats why OnePlus and Nokia won't include Treble on the Oreo updates).

Thanks for information bro, I'll wait for Oreo then. The last option is I'll have to walk to Poland ?

Will Honor 8 get Android Pie? Question about Oreo

Does anyone know if Honor 8 will get Android Pie?
I'm also wondering about Android 8.1, will it be available for Honor 8 (frd-l09 especially)
I recently had my phone replaced but this time it refused to download the android 8.0 update both in OTA and hisuite, even after i downloaded and flashed B521 it refused to update to B562.
By refused i mean telling me it's already up to date, both OTA and hisuite.
Is it possible to force it or should I give up on OTA's and hisuite updates

Hello, first of all, I wanna say that we already have fully working and stable Pie.
There is no need getting 8.1 because there is already pie from Open Kirin. I am pretty sure we will get working Android Q this year too and because of treble, we will probably get Android 11 too.

Which stable pie rom u r using on honor 8?
