8 Huawei Android Oreo Release Date Tips

The Huawei Android Oreo update is available now or coming soon to multiple popular smartphones. While the company recently released the Mate 10 Pro with Oreo, other phone owners are waiting for it to arrive. Here, we’ll go over everything we know, what to expect, and some Huawei Oreo release date tips.

Huawei is currently testing Android 8.0 Oreo for the P10 and several Huawei and Honor smartphones. Most of these beta tests aren’t available in the U.S. but will come soon enough.

At the same time, Android Oreo just arrived for the Huawei Mate 9 Pro on January 31st, 2018, and we’re expecting more phones to receive a similar update in the coming months.

Some of those include the Huawei P10, Mate 10 Lite, Mate 9, P9 models, GR3, NOVA2, and several Honor smartphones. In fact, the Honor 8 Pro and Honor 9 just started getting Oreo in February.

Huawei Android Oreo Release Dates & Details

So when will your Huawei or Honor phone get an update to Android 8.0 Oreo? Well, that’s a hard question to answer. Android manufacturers are slow to make announcements, keep details close to their vest, and rarely share exact dates. That’s because they change and evolve as new bugs get found or fixed.

While we’ve seen announcements from Sony, Motorola, HTC, Samsung, and others, Huawei is staying mum on details. The only actual information we have is from Huawei’s sister brand, Honor, who announced a few updates on Twitter.

That said, the international Huawei P10 and P10 Plus just got the Android 8.0 Oreo beta, at least in select regions. This is a good sign. It means that the company has worked hard behind the scenes, and updates are nearing completion. Multiple devices are in the final testing phase, and updates will begin sometime in February or March.

Things are subject to change, but with betas rolling out, we expect official updates for select phones before the end of February. Otherwise, look our for software upgrades in early March at the latest. Well, depending on which device you own.

Huawei’s version of Android 8.0 Oreo is loaded up with new features and enhancements including the company’s new EMUI 8.0 Experience. That’s just the name for its software overlay built on top of Oreo. The exciting additions are AI built-in to each phone, not in the cloud. Along with gesture controls, a floating navigation bar, dynamic wallpapers, and a battery saving feature known as Battery launch, to name a few.

Each Huawei device Android Oreo changelog will be a little different. That’s because some phones will get all of Oreo’s features, while others won’t. For example, the Honor 8 will get EMUI 8.0 and all of its features, but not the actual update to Android 8.0 Oreo. Depending on the phone you have, the features will be a little different. That said, almost everything included in Android 8.0 Oreo from Google will make its way into the software.
