It might be awaiting us it might not. Maybe the game just is not optimised to run well on oreo yet. I think like 1 % maybe more of phones are running oreo. I bet its more so don't take my percent to heart.

https://www.inside-handy.de/news/47790-honor-8-bekommt-android-8-oreo

Oreo comes for Honor 8, Honor officials confirmed at MWC to Inside-Handy that the Honor 8 will get the newest Android update, but not date given yet.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] timwelter:
Nice, hoping this is the definitive answer.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
Guys it's true, I asked the official Honor Germany site and they confirmed that the news from inside handy is true
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ultimatez906:
Well 2 confirmations. I'll take their word for it even though honor has been stupid the past few months. Can't wait for Oreo to come out so I can flash a working rom
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
Atleast for German users it's a confirmation, but we can all rebrand our phones so it doesn't really matter.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
Hell yah ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ultimatez906:
Most of us just want to be able to flash a properly working rom
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
And you will be bound to update to EMUI 8 before flashing Oreo to account for maximum compatibility.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ysnX:
Another proof from Honor Germany : the comment from HonorGer: Hello, meanwhile Android Oreo for the Honor 8 was confirmed in Barcelona.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
I asked honor Germany when they are going to announce the Update via an official press news.

They are looking for the right moment but it shouldn't take long anymore was the answer.

What do you think could be "the right moment"? I mean, Honor France and Poland both released a picture with Q2 in it, Q2 starts at the end of the next month, also Easter is around the corner at the end of the next month, could that be "the right moment" I mean at least in Germany Easter is being celebrated hugely and this could be seen as a surprise then?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ysnX:
I think it will take a little bit time
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
"HELLO, does the Honor 8 get the official Android Ore update?"

"Hello, at MWC in Barcelona, the Oreo update for the Honor 8 was confirmed, please be a little more patient"

Another confirmation.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
Just contacted Honor US and the tech support there have no clue about the oreo update. If the German model does recieve the update other models might have to rebrand to it.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
Lol guys, be patient. What kind of 'confirmation' do you need? You are promised Oreo so kindly wait.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
I understand. Its just that all the confirmations came from Europe and none from US so I thought I'd report back after asking Honor US.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
According to mobiflip: https://www.mobiflip.de/honor-8-android-8-0-oreo-update-kommt-nun-doch-in-q2/

The Head of Marketing & Communications Honor Germany Franko Fischer himself confirmed the EMUI 8.0 AND Oreo Update for the Honor 8. I mean, this guy in his position should know it right?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lukke2804:
Yes. I think they did not expect the huge backlash when the announced that we wont get it so they are probably just doing damage control rn. But now we can be sure that we will definitely get it!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
I just hope that we will get a fully working rom, maybe a lineage 15.1 one (since they rely on treble now). Hopefully the devs aren't gone :/
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
It's me again.

Today Honor Germany released their Press News article about the Oreo Update and the Honor 8. They are proud to announce that the update will arrive in May, however, they are still testing it.

Source is the German Huawei blog which stays in close contact with Huawei and honor.

I don't know how it is for Indian or us users, if you won't get the update, the only thing you can do is rebrand your device, get the Oreo update and then install a treble compatible ROM.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] flip360:
Great news, can we have a link please? Thanks!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
It's in German again

https://www.huaweiblog.de/honor/honor-8-bekommt-oreo-p9/
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tel864:
LOL, you have to wonder who's minding the store at Honor . First, the CEO says the Honor 8 is getting it, then that news is pulled almost immediately. Then they announce that although the Honor 8 isn't getting Oreo, it is getting a special version of EMUI 8. Now we're seeing announcements that the Honor 8 will be getting Oreo sometimes this year. I've gotten to the point that I really don't care one way or another. It does what I need it to do and does it fast. If I get it, sure it will be fun to try, but if I don't I'll still keep the phone. Unlike some people, I can't see dumping a phone because it doesn't get an update that may or may not be better than what it already has.

BTW, I wonder when my Nokia brick is getting Gingerbread.....JK. :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
Hell yah we are getting it in may.! That's wonderful news.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
Does anyone know if we are gonna get treble support?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
We most likely get treble support, the Honor 8 pro and the Honor 9 also the Mate 9 all got Treble support alongside the Oreo update, thats because Huawei/Honor already uses a kind of treble partition called a vendor partition on the old Android version which should be default treble in Oreo if I remember correctly. I am bad at explaining things but I hope you get it. Maybe someone else can help me out.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dkionline:
Says nothing more we know, as they mentioned H8 as still under last testings.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xsacter:
Waiting for Honor Canada/US to say something. Still running October's security patch on frdl04
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jhayzt:
Still waiting on mine too. I'm thinking about rebranding my honor 8.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xsacter:
It's not worth it honestly. I'd recommend just sticking with what we have until they do release something, eventually it's gonna come. That's just my 2 cents tho
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
I mean rebranding to 9 or 19 is kinda worth it cus we seem to get updates sooner that is the only reason I changed mine.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jhayzt:
What variant was yours before? L04? What did you used? 19 or 9?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
Mine was L14 the 64gb US version. I changed mine to L19 cus L19 is the 64gb version as well just the European model I believe.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Djok:
Last day Honor 7X get beta Oreo. Do you know something about beta to our Honor 8?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lukke2804:
Haven't heard a word about a beta for the H8. Maybe we get one shortly before oreo comes (it should come in May as said on the mwc) But honestly, i doubt that they will make a public beta since they dont want to put more effort than necessary in an "old" device.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
I hope they do I wanna be apart of the beta for sure.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] thinhster:
If you look at Honor USA's Twitter, we will be getting Oreo. Even has a hint of it being released or reveal in March most likely.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lukke2804:
Where did you heard about the release in March? Are you sure you dont mean may? I heard it will come in Q2 in May(Was said at the mwc)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] thinhster:
I am only speculating sorry. Honor USA posted this March ?? date with Android Oreo. https://twitter.com/Honor_USA/status/971466564196290560
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lukke2804:
It has an oreo cookie in it but I honestly dont think they would promote an update for a 1,5 year old device like that...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
I just leave this here
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xsacter:
Funk yes! About time we heard something from North America. If only they released the new security patch now because I'm still on October's latest update (FRDL04)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
What will it be ;)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xsacter:
I just realized after checking Honor USA's Twitter, that comment wasn't there when I checked so maybe they deleted it?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
The post is still there?

https://twitter.com/Honor_USA/status/972162500560080896
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dkionline:
A new phone comming, nothing special.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xsacter:
No I'm talking about the comment Honor made about the Honor 8. The one he was replying to the guy.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
Check here: https://twitter.com/Honor_USA/status/971536341535199232
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xsacter:
Ahh okay I see it now, it was in a different post. Thanks!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] timwelter:
Looks to me they're doing something with AI. Not sure if it's related to the Honor 8 though.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
Maybe they got mor to announce then "one specific thing"? Because at the first picture there are two circles, one is an Oreo cookie and the other one just a plain circle, it could resemble the honor 8 camera with the Oreo cookie hinting at an os upgrade? The second picture could be hinting something for the honor devices with an AI chip build in. Either way in the next wee we will know what they are teasing.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePS4Gamer:
Finally. Now just the poor Indians need a confirmation. It would suck for them that they aren't going to get Oreo, unlike the remaining part of the world.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] timwelter:
Everyone's getting oreo. Why would they only push an update to a specific part in the world?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alcatraz:
Even then I think we can rebrand and update

Or we can wait since treble will open opportunities for new rom :good:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tel864:
Motorola did that with their G phones also. Since there are some slight hardware differences maybe they do it in stages like that.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
You will need Oreo in order to get a Treble ROM running on your device, that's the downside, but as you said, everyone can just rebrand, get the update, and then install a treble ROM.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
Oh wow, it was just a f****** tease for the Honor View 10...

https://twitter.com/Honor_USA/status/973281817511055360
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lukke2804:
It was pretty obvious that this was not a teaser for the HI Oreo Update^^
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePS4Gamer:
https://twitter.com/Honor_USA/status/974291780794544128?s=19

Sorry, but there is no information about Treble support. :(
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lukke2804:
Ok I will say this one last time: ALL Honor/Huawei devices that got the update have treble support since EMUI is already build in a similar ways as treble is. So please stop asking for treble.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
Hell yah oreo all the way!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pirx73:
On Oreo front - my wife's P10 recently received an Oreo, so Huawei is rolling it out model by model
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeljkoa:
Is she satisfied with Oreo? Some big changes?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pirx73:
Well what i've noticed - several setting menus are compiled as submenus under "main" menu. Like all BT, wifi and mobile settings are under "network" menu.

January security patches. EMUI has some graphical changes in version 8 thus new themes. Overall - quite good. Wife does not complain but she's been Huawei user for 4 years already so she adapted easily.

No complaints.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigD18t:
This is probably a good idea of what to expect as it's Oreo on the 7X.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cheeze.keyk:
do you guys think the oreo update for H8 will have treble support?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ysnX:
it will probably. Every honor/huawei device have a seperate vendor partition, so the implementation should be easy for the devs.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] omniapp:
Until yesterday I'd seen Honor Germany confirming 2nd quarter which is 3 month.

This has been post by Honor Ceo Zhao Ming yesterday

1st time I've seen the word "May"

Tought would be nice to share

Btw 1st time Honor 6x is included in the list

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Old friend:
I have information from a friend that p10 has worked fast on Android 7. Now Android 8 has slowed down and has a lag especially when multiple applications are open.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] renttudiktaattori:
I wonder that do treble android projects work on H8?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lukke2804:
The German Twitter account of honor said the same. That just because it applies to the indian users it doesnt necessarily apply to Europe. they still dont announce/deny the update. But what they also pointed out is that the H8 already has gotten one major update from mm to nougat, that is not a good sign.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Krizvi72:
Whatever it may be I hate honor?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
Who cares if it just got one major update, I will admit to one thing about Apple that I like, they let older devices have all the updates up to a certain point obviously.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
Swear to god ??
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lukke2804:
Yup. Other OEMs do it much better. Not all of them ofc, but there are definitely better examples like Google, HTC, Oneplus, Nokia... I think when buying my next phone I will definitely be considering the update policy more. Sadly my last phone was stolen so I had to go with the best priced phone and could not wait till the prices dropped. The next time i will definitely be more careful. But I mean the H8 is still fast af so I will definitely dont buy a new phone this year. I will save my money and invest it next year in a good phone with a long support
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kandelai:
That is because most of their new releases, are basically letting the users beta test their upgrades. It usually takes 4 or 5 updates to fix their major upgrades, so yeah, if you like being a guinea pig, go Apple. This also extends to their computers and pads as well.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
Oh trust me no way will I give apple my money, but there phones get 2 or 3 major updates most of the time and they deserve props for that. Let's not forget that android goes through little updates as well just not as bad as apple.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kandelai:
Yeah, I am not saying Android is perfect either, but this latest upgrade of Apples, on both phone and computer, really had major issues. I was so frustrated, I moved off the whole platform. I now use Linux and of course the Honor 8. I think Apple is far worse on letting their upgrades out with bugs, so much so, that my whole computer was grinding to a slow hault. Ugh! Never again, Apple.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
Honor Germany said that they are still investigating if the Honor 8 will get Oreo, seems like it depends on which country you are in, India seems to be not getting it at all.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
Yah that's what I have been hearing now. That's completely stupid I feel like though for support of the same phone in one country but not the other.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
Omg trust me I know all about the major issues on Apple smh there going downhill fast it seems like, you heard about how they were slowing people's phones down right? That's bs or they should have at least let people know they were doing that.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Maverick Honor:
I think that's just their PR trying damage control after honort India tweet. The fact of the matter is H8 is not compatible and has certain limitations which only Honor knows.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kandelai:
Bringing the conversation back to Honor 8/Huawei, Apple is just another phone manufacturer. It is hard to say what is worse, slowing the phone down on purpose to get people to buy a new phone, or not offering upgrades/updates so the phones become less secure and people need to switch phones? They are both equally bad, and we should not continue supporting manufacturers engaged in either tactic. In the corporate world, it is like trying to find the apple with the least amount of bruises. :D
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
Again, if a oreo custom Rom can be made for are phone there is no limitations that I see. So clearly they are just trying to bs us.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
Straight up bro completely agree.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] morpheus302:
Why don't just let us circle jerk and stop defending this ****ty policy of Honor.

You must really be simple minded to think that hardware limitations are preventing Honor/Huawei from upgrading to Oreo.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] flip360:
Not a smart move by Honor, what a load of BS!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
Ez bro come on ? he can have his own personal opinion, but I do have to agree with you ??
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
What about you bro are you going to stick with honor or move to another oem?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kandelai:
Come on, knock it off with the belittling. No one knows for sure what happens around a corporate board table behind closed doors. I have been there, usually lots of scheming and how can we make money off of this sort of talks. Point being, we will probably never know the real reasons Huawei decided to screw its consumers.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ysnX:
Since all devices from Huawei/Honor have a seperate vendor partition, the implementation of treble should be very easy for the devs The chances are high.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alen1901:
Now Huawei honor 8 lite (and Huawei p8 lite 2017) got Oreo 8.1 update and they have treble support. I guess honor 8 is in line for update next month maybe?

Pure Honor 8
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Giuskiller:
Personally if Oreo really comes in May (as leaks around the internet are telling) i think it will be 8.0, but it would be a great surprise to see the latest 8.1 version. Let's hope for the better...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] timwelter:
Who cares? With Treble updates will continue forever.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] funkiefresh:
It would be great trolling if all they give us is the April security update on 7.0 in July as our last update.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Giuskiller:
Of course, talking about custom roms side you're right, but i was talking about "official" update, considering that they took a lot of time (full of confirmations, then steps back) to give us Oreo...it would be great to have 8.1 instead 8.0. Just saying.

In the end i don't care at all, i just wanted oreo to accomplish the two years of official updates. Then, when Android P will come out of developer previews, i will be more than happy to flash it on my H8 thanks to Treble and some great developer ;)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Deathless93:
Wouldn't surprise me lol
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePS4Gamer:
Is this the beginning of the end?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] liPillON:
they're reporting about a couple info they got from Honor Italy (I guess through social networks or media/community managers)

they don't bring any evidence and asks for their reader's opinion about it

as for the alleged Honor Italy feedback, they got 2 messages:

1st) Honor Italy refused to comment on the Oreo Update, since they have no official information from Honor/Huawei china/worldwide

2nd) Honor Italy confirmed that EMUI8 functionalities will be available on the Honor8

So basically the same foggy/contradcting responses we are used to since february

My two cents: guys, let's wait and see... It's not like I'll throw away my phone if oreo will not come, anyway...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] timwelter:
I probably will. A chance at AOSP is the only thing making me keep this phone right now.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sbodezzi:
It's the same for me. I'm facing a problem with touchscreen in my H8. Sometimes is not responsive as should be. I'm hoping that Aosp will resolve that prob, but if oreo won't released I sell my phone. never ever again with honor.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
Fr. I'm almost done with android cus no one can seem to give us updates well.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Markxdx:
This article shows that the TIM (is an Italian telephone company) has declared through Twitter that the P9 / plus / lite models will not receive Oreo ... considering that the Honor 8 is the "cousin" of Huawei P9 I doubt that for us will come out .. what do you think?

Source:

http://www.optimaitalia.com/blog/20...plus-sullaggiornamento-oreo-parla-tim/1081601
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Giuskiller:
That's the same site i used to share here to let everyone know the bad news, but someone just made s..h..i..t rain on me because of that. Hope you'll be saved. However, a lot of people now will tell you the same things as about two months ago "oreo confirmed blablabla" nothing has been NEVER confirmed from Honor. France and Germany said yes to Oreo and wrote a date, Q2 2018 (probably May) but i don't think it is true as most Honor division NOW are saying that only EMUI 8 functions (WTF that means, what will a new skin let me do that now i'm not able to do?) will be ported to H8 so...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePS4Gamer:
It's completely bulls**t. Because if you can read this Hungarian article, it says that a Huawei employee told the journalist that they will release the Oreo update for the P9 and P9 Plus:

https://napidroid.hu/huawei-p9-es-p9-plus-keszul-az-oreo/

So, I think that the Italian division of Huawei is lying all the time to us. Or maybe they really don't want to put effort into releasing Oreo updates for Kirin 950 or 955 based devices in Italy.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] liPillON:
they're mentioning a tweet by TIM about the matter, but they're not providing any link to it

have you been able to check their source?

I've tried to search for the tweet, without results
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Markxdx:
you're right on the site does not mention any links or tangible information
