The new firmware comes with EMUI 5.0 on top and has over 2.2 GB in size. According to Huawei Japan, the update comes with the usual Nougat features, as well as better app versatility and various tweaks.
After being spotted in the beta stage not so long ago, Android 7.0 Nougat finally comes to the Huawei Honor 8 smartphones all over the world. The first official build arrived in Japan less than one week ago and now the EMUI 5.0 firmware for the Honor 8 rolls out globally.
According to Phone Arena, the international update seems to have 2.27 GB in size, while the build for Japan only has 1.97 GB. For now, the official change log is not available yet, but Huawei Japan revealed that, next to the features delivered by Nougat, the update also comes with stability improvements, optimizations, and better app versatility.
Android Nougat's standard features include the enhanced Doze mode, split-screen mode, improved notifications, customizable Quick Settings, quick app switching, and more. The EMUI 5.0 update for Huawei Honor 8 comes via OTA, rolling out incrementally, so those who did not get any notification yet should check their phones.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
