There is a lot of confusion around which Honor smartphones will be getting Android 8.0-based EMUI 8.0 update. Now, a list published by the company’s China arm on the official forum seems to finally confirm exactly which phones will be getting the EMUI 8.0, at least in China. These phones are Honor V10, Honor 9, Honor V9, Honor 7X, Honor 8 Youth Edition (aka Honor 8 Lite), Honor 9 Youth edition, Honor 8, Honor V8 and Honor Note 8.
While these phones are only confirmed to get the EMUI 8.0 update in China, there is no reason why they will not be receiving the same update in other regions too. In addition to this list, Honor India had already confirmed the EMUI 8.0 update for Honor 8 Pro and Honor 9i phones. Also, the international variants of the V10 and Honor 9 Youth edition already run on EMUI 8.0.
All of this means that a total of nine Honor-branded phones in China and nine Honor phones internationally will receive the Android 8.0 Oreo with EMUI 8.0.
What’s new in EMUI 8.0?
It is good to know which Honor phones will get the EMUI 8.0 update, but what exactly will the EMUI 8.0 update bring? Here is the answer.
