Honor 8 to receive Android Nougat starting February 10

Huawei sub-brand Honor back in December last year promised to release Android Nougat with EMUI 5.0 to its dual-camera toting Honor 8 some time in February. 

Now keeping its promise, Honor has confirmed that it would start rolling out Android nougat to Honor 8 on February 10, that is today. The update will be rolled out over-the-air globally in stages, and by the end of the month, all Honor 8 will be upgraded to Android Nougat.

Currently it is not known which countries will get will get the update first, but since Nougat beta build was being tested for Honor 8 in the UK for few months, it makes sense, Nougat will hit UK and other parts of Europe, as well as the U.S (February 11).

Android Nougat for Honor 8 bring stock Android experience for simplified user interface, improvement to notifications and home screen, app drawer option, multi-windows support, along with Honor's features.

Apart from Honor 8, Honor also confirmed that it will roll out Nougat to the budget Honor 5X some time in Q2, 2017.
