Hi guys, i was googling about Android O for Honor 8 information (because i want to hope that Honor keep their promises), and my searching lead me to this website with some info about EMUI 5.1 instead. They say that this list (i will attach it below) is confirmed by Honor but i can't tell you if that's true...however, if it is we're going to get EMUI 5.1 and still on Nougat (so probably no Android O). What do you think? Can we trust that we'll miss O and get 5.1? We'll get both? Or miss both? Feel free to share your toughts.

They can't even provide timely updates for the Android security patches so how are we to expect to receive Android O? EMUI 5.1 I couldn't care less about. EMUI 5 is fine (nothing more) as long as you use a custom launcher.

EMUI 5 & 5.1 are almost same. EMUI 6 will be android O and Huawei has promised to keep us updated for 2years at least. & btw we got the android N update before other phones :eek::angel:

I just found those info on the web as i sad in the op, however in my opinion every update wich aims to enhance the user experience and the overall use of a phone is always welcome. In this case i'd prefer Android O, but apart this anything else useful is welcome too. I agree with the fact that they didn't provide monthly security patches (that's bad) but it's an Honor fault as on the Huawei side the old P8 is still receiving security patches...but i'm new to Huawei/Honor so i'll trust users who own their devices since more time than me... Finally Honor promised 24 months of updates... we just have to hope for the best. The H8 is a very good phone, i'm very satisfied with it, would really be a shame if the software side (i mean frequent/qualitative updates) can't be as good as the hardware side

Just received B340 update weighing about 340MB which fixes Jio VoLTE calls and bumps the Security patch to July 5. Still no 7.1 though. Hope Huawei updates this to atleast O before abandoning this awesome phone. To give a thought, I recently purchased dual Sim LG G6 which was comparatively laggy and not as smooth as Honor 8 and had March Sec. Update. And I didnt received a single update till the time I had it with me.

my jio sim wasnt working so I removed it and popped another SIM and restarted the phone and after restarting, there was a notification for the update
Sorry, I couldn't save the ota file. After updating i saw this thread.
There is just a security update, not so much noticable change.
