Huawei Honor 8 gets Android Nougat Beta

Android 7.0 Nougat is slowly rolling out to multiple devices, including the HTC 10 (only in Europe for now), OnePlus 3, Samsung Galaxy Note 5, and others. The Android Nougat Beta for Huawei Mate 8 has been recently spotted online with EMUI 5.0 included, and now the time has come for the smaller Huawei Honor 8 to receive the same treatment.

Recently, Huawei entered a partnership with XDA to start its Android Nougat Beta program. Now, all those who are part of the program and use the Honor 8 smartphone should get ready to receive the EMUI 5.0-skinned Android Nougat Beta firmware. According to the official release notes, "The interface is simple and smart, and EMUI 5.0 comes with enhanced, powerful performance that allows mobile phones to operate more smoothly." The update has 2 GB in size and also offers various functional optimizations.

Huawei claims that thanks to the EMUI 5.0 interface, most apps can be reached within three actions. Those who are looking for a new Android Nougat-powered Huawei smartphone can already acquire the Mate 9.
