There are many mobile phone manufacturers that have been working since the end of last year to update their devices to the new version of Android. We are talking about Android 7.0 Nougat, of course, a data package that is not yet in too many devices and that in fact still represents a very minority fraction within the Android phone park. Be that as it may, Huawei is also in a position to offer the latest edition of Google icons for members of the Honor family. Specifically, it will do so with the Honor 8, a terminal that could enjoy Android 7.0soon. The company of Chinese origin has confirmed that the update for this device will begin in a few days and will arrive together with the new EMUI 5.0 interface. The deployment will be carried out progressively, so that the launch in our country could be a little longer. The estimated date, according to Huawei itself, is January 16. Everything will start in Japan.
The announcement comes from the Huawei company itself in Japan, so the forecasts promise to be much more accurate than if we were handling data from a rumor. Be that as it may, the same manufacturer has stated that the update will be incremental, which means that January 16 is just a date to take into account for the start of deployment. If you have an Honor 8 and you live in Spain, it is most likely that the update will not arrive until the end of January or well into February.
But is this update important? What news will it bring? All updates are important, but this one includes a must-mention version change. And it is that the Honor 8 will go from working with Android 6.0 Marhsmallow to do it through Android 7.0 Nougat, which means that they will enjoy the new native multi-window system, with which to manage up to two windows or applications at the same time and within a single screen. We will find changes in the settings and notifications section, but also in the quick configuration section, now much more customizable. The screen of the equipment can also be better adapted to the visualization, according to the specific needs of each user (something that will be great for those who have some kind of difficulty) and new compatible languages. Of course, many improvements are introduced in the performance section and in fact, Huawei has announced that it has tried to optimize the system, add corrections to make the phone more stable and improve the management of applications. In addition, Android 7.0 includes improvements in the Doze mode, now prepared to deactivate all those background applications that we are not using and that are bleeding the battery of the equipment.
Huawei has recommended that Honor 8 users charge the phone's battery before launching the update, ensuring that they are at least 50% full. It would also be interesting if they made a backup copy of all the contents to avoid any accidental loss.
And you, are you also waiting for the update to Android 7.0 on your Honor 8 ?
