Honor 8 Pro

While Android devices have a reputation of playing catch-up to the latest version of the platform, it seems like the companies don't want to miss out in the case of Android Oreo. After Sony and Nokia, Huawei Terminal brand Honor has reportedly confirmed that its Honor 8 Pro and Honor 6X smartphones will be receiving Android 8.0 Oreo update.

After a meeting in Delhi last week, an XDA Developer user has shared that the company has confirmed the Android 8.0 Oreo update for the Honor 8 Pro and Honor 6X smartphones, as pointed out in a report by The Android Soul. Apart from confirming the update, the company has also shared the timeline for the release of these updates.
