Our fantastic device will recieve Android 7 Nougat update? Any reliable links? Good summer! :good:
According to IBTimes UK's article - Android 7 Nougat release date: When will the major new update will come to your phone:
Huawei doesn't make any such promises, but it also isn't known to hang around too long. Last year, the company launched the Mate 8 smartphone in November and that came with the latest Android pre-installed. A new Mate 9 phone, expected to be shown at the IFA technology show in September and released before Christmas, could well be Huawei's first Nougat handset. As for current and older handsets like the Huawei P8 and P9, these should receive Nougat in late 2016 or early 2017.

This article above is just pure speculation, author believes that Huawei is as good as Samsung in terms of updates which means 2 new Android versions for every fagship. It's a mistake, Huawei is much worse, they never gave two updates for any P series flagship. Marshmallow was the last update.
I got Marshmallow updates B321a and B370 for my Huwei P8, not sure we will ever get android N updates for P8, now for huawei p9 there already is a developer preview of android N you can find info on youtube. In regards to huawei updates versus samsung, samsung are pure garbage when it comes to updates except their flagship phones, huawei p8 Lite got official updates from kitkat to lollipop and now to marshmallow.
1. P8 was a flagship (premium built midranger is a better description).
2. In my country P8 Lite started on 5.0 Lollipop (Kirin version). A5 2015 started on KitKat in 2014 (it's almost a year older than P8 Lite), Samsung updated it to Lollipop and Marshmallow.
I think too we will got Android 7. The P8 is a relative actual flagship. Older devices is i think not sure. But an example that huawei is not as bad in updates as someone say: the Mate 7 starts with Android 4 kitkat and received Android lollipop (5) and got android Marshmallow. Ok that is a Mate and not a P Modell, but i think we have good chances.
Also P8 started on kitkat , was updated to lollipop and now to marshmallow. In regards to A5 in my country that phone was sold as a premium device (even if it has 410 chipset and 720x1280 display) and almost twice the price of P8 lite and the release date gap isn't that big between the 2, December 2014 for A5 and May 2015 for P8 lite. Anyway i really hope that P8 will get N as i love this phone, worst case scenario i will just buy a P9 when the price drops a little.

Obviously, show me an article of this nature about a Huawei P8 Nougat update that isn't.
The P8 never started with Android 4 (kitkat).....Never Ever. The device before the Ascend 7 yes. But the P8 starts with Android 5. That u can read on every Page.

Mine came with android 5.0 B200 Firmware, it seems GSM arena's page is wrong than.

P8 will never get Android 7 Nougat. It has rubbish ancient GPU (Mali-T628 from 2012) which doesn't support Vulkan API.

Show me an article with a source of those claims. They're pure speculations by ignorants, they hope that Huawei is as good as Samsung in terms of updates. It's not - it's much worse.

A lot of italian site says that P8 will have at 90% Nougat
They're pure speculations by technological ignorants (copy+paste). "P8 is a flagship which means good support". Not in Huawei. They stopped updating P7 after Lollipop (phone started with KitKat on board), Marshmallow was last update for P8. They have one more argument now (that mostly ignorant technological journalists don't know about) - GPU is too old.

Ok so your saying that U.S.A. will definitely have the update even though Huawei says that they do not support in the USA for this phone? I need to be sure because I have already decided what my replacement is if I can't upgrade this and will be returning in a couple of days.
Unread count icon badge is not showing anymore in my mate 8 64 GB
Any help how to make the unread notification badge work again on my mate 8 using stock room

I'm not trying to be an a** about this, but, I'd really like someone to answer this question.
What difference, in "real world use" does it matter if you have 6.0 or 7.0?
I ran my mate2, on 4.3 for well over a year before they released the 5.x update, and, had they not given an easy way back, I probably
would have stayed on it. It was just THAT stable. Huawei's 5.x was very stable on my Mate2, and I kept it 100% stock, until September
when I upgraded to the Mate8. 6.x on my version of the mate8, is just flat out stable (Nova Launcher Prime). I'm not a gamer, but I
do a ton of phone (2000 minutes/month), lots of web based work related things, streaming, Mp3's, email, text, photos (Camera FV-5).
I use to be a flash-a-holic back in my PDA phone days, but, phones to me, are "tools". I just pick them up and use them. The version
of software isn't important as is stability. As long as my apps are supported, the version to me, personally, makes no difference.
Don't get me wrong...you guys that flash, tweak, and run the bleeding edge stuff, eventually makes it better for everyone, but, I just
can't wrap my head around being pissed off if a phone, 6-12 months old, as long as it works as built won't get a newer version of
Android. I can see minor builds, patches, but going from say a 5.0 to 6.0 or 6.0 to 7.0 is a "major" update and perhaps the hardware,
as built by a vendor won't support it, but if your phone works, what's the big deal?
Maybe I've been out of the flashing all the time thing to figure it out.

Does anyone know when the Android update for the Huawei Mate 8 in America will come or is there a way to update the OS through flashing since update isn't supported in America. Thank you.
The last OTA update on L29, if I remember correctly, was B180. The B320 was done via the dload method. I suppose you could use the same even if Huawei do not push a Nugat OTA update in America. But as pointed out, do wait for the official as the current beta is buggy.
I heard that ppl getting their updates ota. I still havent received anything (hicare, hisuite).

I wonder what you are doing on this forum still being on 4.0. 4.1 is stable AND official for a long time now. I assume you're talking about EMUI because latest official Android is 5.0
This is all about hobby and most people here know that and take (calculated) risks just for fun. I am on Nougat and I am happy with it but I can fully understand when you stick to what you have.
It is indeed silly that naïve people get advice to reset and on 1 of april you should be aware of that but this one was bad taste.

Android 7 Nougat Update Schedule & Release Date: When's Your Phone Getting It?
Huawei Android Nougat Update
Huawei has come in leaps and bounds during the past 18 months. It was also one of the first handset makers to get an Android Marshmallow phone out — the AWESOME Huawei Mate 8 shipped with Android 6 during November, just one month after Google released the software.This puts Huawei in very good stead, as it is confirmed to be updating its Mate line at exactly the same time this year — November. If this happens, an entirely plausible potential, then Huawei would have one of the first, save for Google’s Nexus phones, Android N phone on market.Expect the Huawei P9 and Mate 8 to get the same treatment during December at the earliest.On November 16, leaked details have provided some information of when the Huawei Mate 8 will be updated to Android Nougat. The firm has already launched the Mate 9 with Nougat pre-installed, so in many respects it's a matter of Huawei tweaking things to be backwards compatible with the older model. The update has not been rolled out officially for the Mate 8, but it has been discovered uploaded onto Huawei's servers. XDA Developer forum users have downloaded the files and installed them on their Mate 8 units. As well as all the Nougat features and updates, the new version brings a fresh build of Huawei's Emotion UI straight from the Mate 9 (version 5.0). This includes a new app drawer option and better multi-window functionality for multitasking several apps at once on the handset's big screen.On December 1, Huawei has now revealed the extent of its plans for Android Nougat updates. As previously leaked, the company has now confirme that Android Nougat will arrive bundled with version 5.0 of the EMUI software. A specific date has not been confirmed, but Huawei has said Q1 2017 will see a rollout begin for its range of Android devices. Handsets which will be updated include the Huawei Mate 8 and Huawei P9 in the first wave, subsequently followed by the Huawei P9 Plus, Huawei P9 Lite, Huawei Nova, and Huawei Nova Plus.As well as the onboard Nougat improvements, Huawei is bigging up how much more intuitive and secure EMUI 5.0 is, saying that it "significantly cuts down on the number of steps needed to achieve the desired function.""Furthermore, the user can reach 90% of the core functions in just two to three clicks," it added.One beef we've always had with EMUI is being remedied - the platform never had a traditional app drawer, but with the new update you will optionally be able to switch this otherwise standard Android feature back on. Huzzah.According to details leaked on December 6, the Huawei P9 and Huawei Mate 8 may be updated to Android Nougat as soon as December 7. The info is coming out of Huawei's home nation of China where it is claimed internal documents have been seen. It's alleged that a build number B352 for the Huawei P9 and B552 for the Huawei Mate 8 are expected. However, crucially the documents are talking about the release in the Chinese market, so we don't know if we will see a wider rollout at that time of if other global regions will have to wait - possibly the global rollout may occur in Huawei's previously announced target of Q1 2017.

You see what I am talking about ? people write false miss information all the time
THERE IS NO OFFICIAL 4.1 VERSION! IT HAS BEEN BETA ALL THE TIME!!! What does it matter if it is official or not yes it a official beta!
4.0 is the last official final version, and nougat is a OFFICIAL beta.
Regarding 5.0 we only seen a few people reoproting here they have got OTA updates WHILE not being in the BETA program or have installed any beta version.
If you get 5.0 OTA whrn you are on b192 then you know for sure it is official, but again, huawei have done this before pushing out beta software to a few countries, they did that in poland with mate 7, like 5 months before the final was released, so you have to keep this in mind too, for us non chinese people it is hard to gather the correct information, since we do not use or can even read chinese websites and social media.
We have seen a lot of people getting 5.0 ota when they are on Beta version, you will get beta version with OTA if you are using a beta version currently, or if you have sign up with the hicare app, you get early adopters versions. The confusion is when people say they get OTA but they get it while using beta software and then say it is final version.. then people keep spreading false or non-confirmed information that this is the final version.
I have still seen no offocial from huawei on any of their websites that the 5.0 final has been released.
A beta tester said only 1 week ago the final version is not out yet, cause huaewi did just send out a new beta version to their beta testers, it takes atleast 3-4 weeks after they push put a beta version to finalize and going thru all bug reports.
People are desperate and they are simply to eager to install and go over to nougat that that they do not care or get blind for the actual information, it becomes a snow ball effect, people just keep writing over and over it is official and final etc etc until people believe it is true.
If you ask me, current status with mate 8 android 7.0 is that it is in the last phase beta. According to leaked roadmap Android 7.0 should had been released in January.
People are free to use beta version if they want, I have had good patience and waiting even if my fingers are itching currently because of my frustration I Want to move over to 7.0 the minute the official version is released, not later.
What we need is more chinese people in this forum who are watching all the chinese websites.. it is their everything is happen, it is the FIRST source for huawei phones not xda where huawei is kind of small compared to a lot of other brands.
I got an official. Just flashed it from the xda forum.
If you want to have a nougat - you need to flash it by yourself. If not, wait for OTA and dont ask questions.
simple as that ;]

Because you stated 4.0 I assumed you were talking about EMUI version as I mentioned. There is sometimes a lot of confusion interpreted as false information.
My Mate 8 was delivered with Android 5.0 and using eRecovery it installs 5.0 so I assume it is an official release.
Regarding Chinese sites, I don't understand Chinese but with current possibilities to translate whole pages it is feasible to visit Chinese sites and read latest information. I found my latest version B577 there.

hardware is same on L21 so i should be able to get OTA next month probs.... i have bad experiences with other brand's android updates tho.... android 6 runs well tho so there wouldnt be so big difference between 6 and 7 anyways.... maybe android 7 can run emulated debian like my old device's android 4.4.2... android 6 isnt supported for virtualbox debian....
https://www.androidpit.com/android-nougat-update-overview-smartphones-tablets
it seems like honor 5c aka 7 lite is "coming" no confirmed dates given about N. androidpit is usually correct.
My mobile phone is XT1581 with android 7.0.
I realy wants to know if there is a offical way to update it to android 8.0?
I bought it in China but I have update it to US version 7.0.
Thanks!
the 18 months support on this models is off now, if one miracle succed, is going to have Android 7 or 8 AOSP/LineageOS ported, but even this two options becomes a dream (no android developer was interested in our phones), we are stock in 6.0/7.0 OEM
Hello guys... Just want to tell you.. New and big update is coming soon.. Its android 8 and emui 8..
When exactly i have no idea but all what i can do is showing you what will it bring to us...
Enjoy waiting and hope to enjoy the update very soon ???
I did see it on Firmware Finder
Installation not approved
So sad that firmware finder doesnt have the capabilities to flash firmwares that is not approved for installation anymore unlike its previous version. (which is good either way to prevent people from bricking their devices). But since that I've been waiting the approval for april/may security updates on my P10 for 2 months now even it has been released on FF. Now the nova 2 plus has the oreo update but its not yet approved to be installed.
