Honor 8 vs HTC 10

I'm coming up on an upgrade and the Honor 8 is an impressive phone, especially for the price point! But a few people said that the honor 8 like the new pixel phones probably wouldn't receive the dev support that others have... unlocked bootloaders and rooting are very important to me, I like full control. This is why I can't go w/ an Iphone!

Honor 8 loads apps faster? And according to gsmarena the camera seems to perform better in many circumstances

Honor 8 has flash for front camera and FM radio whereas HTC 10 has better screen resolution and DLNA support.
Honor 8 is at different Pricepoint, HTC 10 is in different price point. So this is unnecessary comparison I would say.

Oops, Sorry.
Its not yet released in INDIA yet. So got this info from here - http://www.fonearena.com/huawei-honor-8_7945.html

HTC 10 does have flas for front facing camera to, its just a gimmick that the screen turns bright white before taking the picture just like the Honor 8 does there is no actual flash or led or anything alike in the honor 8 front facing

Dev support for Honor 8 is an epic scam of XDA and Huaweii in conjunction. Sold mine. Bad quality build(glass too easily scratched),bad sound,below acceptable screen for my taste. Run with HTC 10 if u can afford it.

However it is expected to get released for Honor 8 by 2017 only.

If it is releasing on 3rd November, and Honor 8 will be the first to get it, then how do you think it will take almost 2 months to get to it.
Sent from my FRD-L04 using Tapatalk

Hope it's 7.0 (or 7.1, but probably not).

Read it again. "First device in the Honor brand to get the EMUI update"
The Mate 9 is going to be released the same day, so it's probably going to get it first.

I think we may see a beta after a month

Multiuser back. Nice ?

It needs to get customized for Honor 8 in terms of carriers, sponsors, region specific apps, beta testing, then we will get it. So it will take almost 2 months.

It will be indeed released to Huawei devices first. I didn say no for it. I just said that Honor 8 will be the first device which will get EMUI 5 in the "Honor branded mobiles".
Honor is the Sub-brand of Huawei and Huawei != Honor.

Anyway this means it will come with some bugs, as it is expected. I just hope they're not too many and deal breaking.

Mate 9 will be a showcase of EMUI 5, it may not be fully ready but it will be ready faster than we think

If those bugs are found at beta testing, then they might fix it before the public release.

No, there will be bugs released in the final OTA still. Looking back I would say it will take 2~3 releases, including OTA, to get fully stable and complete.

Livestream just ended. No info about EMUI on phones other than the Mate 9.

It is interesting to see that on the official Huawei introducing EMUI 5 video there is no app drawer (1:25)
On the other hand all the first hands on videos shows there is:

It's optional. You can enable it in the settings

Android 8.0

It appears our device has some life left.
Mod Edit: external click-bait link removed

Do you really believe we will receive Android O, even after not receiving Android 7.1.2?
There is not even a source on the article...
We will certainly have Android O, but it will not come from Google's hands!

One could only hope. Oh well.

What?? No source??
Must be Fake News then...... :rollingeyes:

I've been seeing a lot of news pop up on this today but nothing from a site I'd consider legitimate

its already updated to 7.1.2 on NitrogenOS rom :good:

It's a click bait article. It's fake and has no source.

@goti(0): Your response misses the point. The link the OP posted is pure clickbait. It's garbage. Your response only confirms @angourakis' post, which is that we wouldn't be receiving an official Android 8 after not receiving an official Android 7.1.2.

Why is nexus player still receiving the 7.1.2 update and is also having the android O developer preview,although it was also released in october 2014 with nexus 6:crying:

Nexus Player has the Intel Atom Z3560 which uses the 64-bit instruction set. That being said, it doesn't appear to be a very powerful piece of hardware in general like the Nexus 6 is, so who knows.

Because the Nexus Player uses a 64-bit processor (Intel Atom Z3560), like the 5X, 6P, Pixel, and Pixel XL.

You made my day with this Sir.

That site has quite a bit on it, far more than most "click bait" sites do. It actually looks like someone's putting effort into it

Nah, they're just regurgitating clickbait crap from another link posted in the other Android O thread.

NOT A FAKE NEWS! I've got the proof. Oreo is coming officially.

This would be too good to be true.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

I wouldn't get too optimistic. Just because some commits were found does not mean we are getting Android 8. The commits also do not explain why Google announced that we weren't seeing any further updates, and also do not explain why Google would skip a version on our devices.

Even though there are work done in AOSP for the Shamu regarding Android O, it doesn't mean that Google is going to push out an update officially. This happened to the Nexus 4 and 5 too I believe in the older days and they did not receive the versions after their EOL. On the positive side, this might be proof that the Shamu is capable of running Android O and the code for Shamu will hopefully reach out there after the full source code for Android O is out to be compiled. Makes it easier for ROM developers.

Can any one help me to install Android Nough
I am having a Xiaomi Mi5s with Android version 6.0 I want to install android nougat can any one send a link please.

Honor beta testers recruitment for Nougat and Above- official form India only

Hi Folks,
Sharing the good news about the honor beta testers recruitment. Got this Google form for the same through trusted channels and is prepared by our fellow member Abhishek @amulbaby on XDA. A big thanks to him in putting his efforts in preparing this form.
Did someone just say EMUI 6.0 :fingers-crossed:

As the image gives a glimpse (also prepared by Abhishek), It is for Android Nougat upcoming updates and above so we can expect the Oreo update, though I am not confirming anything about it but we can expect this (at least)
Form includes below devices so wish we get for all of them, at least future Nougat bug fix updates and security updates if not Oreo.
Honor 5C
Honor 6X
Honor 8
Honor 8 Lite
Honor 8 Smart
Honor 8 Pro
Fill out the form and Enjoy.

Title updated as this form is limited to India only. Will check more on this and confirm.
Even though limited to India but as India variant may get the update, we can wish others will get as well.
So others can fill as well, it wont harm anything

rip india only.... but atleast they will port it then to other variants also 5c is in list so it will most likely get it right? also lastest 5c update kinda make apps unstable, randomly just shuts down like once in a week.... not big issue but if you do banking and stuff its kinda annoying....

I agree a trillion times with the bugs part bhai.

There is nothing exciting to look forward to the Pie update for Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 .
No Pie gestures, no Pie features.... Just a pie skin. Don't expect much upgrade and keep high hopes. You will be disappointed.

Well, since Lenovo tookover Moto, they have been the same as well, Stock android with lazy updates. When Asus announced this device, I thought they would be serious with midrange phones, but alas, same old Asus. Fake promises, Lazy updates, poor customer service.

There's no confirmed date so far. However, here's a listing that indicates that the Asus Zenfone Max M1 Pro won't be updated to pie anytime soon.
