Hi guys :laugh: ,
This is a new discussion of the nougat update dedicated for p8 lite.
Here you can write all of emui 5.0 and news for the future update of p8 lite.
What do you think about it?
Did they announce 7.0 for p8 lite?
Does anyone really think that we will receive the update? Huawei is no longer profiting from this phone, and sadly, that's how this works, from a business perspective, they can't update it to Android Nougat because that won't bring them money, they are working on the P9, the Honor 8 and other new devices (I don't remember how those are called)

That's what I was thinking. There is no info at all on the Internet. I imagined the OP had more info on this.
I think they might update the phone to show others how good is Huawei because they support old phones and even lite version for 2y+.
Theoretically they said they would give updates to phones made two years ago or less. And since the p8lite is from May 2015 I think, we theoretically should receive the new update. However we might not receive it, and personally I dont think we will. What we CAN do is if we dont get the update, massively spam huawei's social media pages lol.

From some sources i heard something like huawei will givin' update all Phone by 2 years after they were released. So, we still have more than 6months to get an answer for this... check this one

It's so ****ing hard to think ?! Maybe they will release more updates for this phone but insignificant...little updates for the 6.0. I'm sure we will never get the 7.0 from Huawei.
Huawei isn't going to update this phone. Huawei releases a lot of phone in a year so if they start updating it would take a lot of time. Even if it does we won't get update untill September 2017.
For all this phones are enough developers and enough money, so updates shouldn't be a problem. New phones are no problem, too. It's just possible. EMUI 4.1 will come

Huawei Nova? Honor 5x? Mate 8/9?
China Mobile Version Honor 5A is a new phone that also runs Hisilicon Kirin 620.Maybe it can receive updates.We could give a try to port it.
It's pointless. It's better to have AOSP/Cm than port Huawei rom.

Can be a source for eventuali nougat drivers for Kirin 620 actually
Android 7.1 is really nice on Moto G. App-Shortcuts is a really nice feature. Is that on EMUI 4.1/5.0 too?
The EMUI page on Facebook refers to an event regarding EMUI 5 happening on November 3 in Munich, Germany. https://www.facebook.com/HuaweiEMUI/
That's great. Hope we get it. Otherwise the old Moto G 2013 beat the newer P8 Lite
i dunno, but updating from Lollipop to MM was an big mistake, so should updating to nougat (if it comes) be better ??

bye-bye Huawei ****!!!
reason?
Guys I believe the main reason why huawai hasn't release emui3.0 for Europe (l10) yet is because of the software that accompanies emui 3.0
Apps like wallet, market, music store, video and others have content in Chinese only
It would be stupid for someone to think that the are too lazy to translate the menus or they don't have the resources for that, or even they have difficulties on porting the software THEY wrote , to a model which is 99,9 identical hardwarewise.
It was easy enough for the devs in here, without access to the source code....
The content on the other hand its a hole different story and without content the apps that emui 3.0 is built around are useless...
So I am guessing they are working on the content provide services and other non-technical stuff before they release it.
This would be my first and last HUAWEI device
If Huawei does not provide to the international people up-to-date Software, they will lose many customers, I am the one who will choose Samsung, iphone, nexus or Sony smartphones for daily use, since these devices are being updated permanently and this is very important to fix bugs, improve performance and to have the best apps in our devices. This is the first time I use a Huawei product and unfortunetly for huawei the last one. Ask Apple costumers one of the main reasons why they enjoy buying iphones or ipads, most of them will say: "because of the constant updates they receive in their devices via ota". This is also called good aftersells service.

Agreed I have a Nexus 10, Nexus devices are the first to receive new Android versions and are open.
I own a L00 phone and I got it mainly for the duel sim functionality and being one of the only really up to date phones with features that was duel active.
Most companies would rather sell new devices as that's where their money comes from. For all you saying Samsung supports there phones, allot of those phones don't get updated or as often as above compared to the Nexus line, some still are rolling out to 4.4.4 now from 4.2.
Also to above most users using iPhones don't care about being up to date, the overall usability and integration of the os package and support from Apple they care about.
They also don't care about customisability as long as it works and easy to use and looks nice.
To those people Android is complex and loaded with too many features and options and customisability which seems overkill to them.
I've known iPhone users before and they are still happy with older models as long as they work and will buy iPhone again when there phone is no longer up to there needs.
As for L10 EMUI 3 remember Huawei is a Chinese company so of course there Chinese models come first then they will see how the EMUI 3 os and shell they designed holds up in there own local market before porting it to the international version. That normally takes a month or so if you actually think about it and fixing any bugs for the international release in the meantime.
The L00 seems fine and comes in many languages with some minor translation things for fluidity which is expected as you would also see reading posts on here from the non native English posters.
Overall critasising and getting all upset at Huawei because they don't release 3.0 for there international version within 2-3 days of there native version and saying Samsung is any better when they are much the same with updates doing there flagship locals first before there international or older phones isn't the smartest thing to be doing.

Ascend Mate 2 is getting Android 5.0 Lollipop
If you are an Ascend Mate 2 owner you might have already heard this by now. But in case if you haven’t, Huawei USA announced that the Ascend Mate 2 will be updated to Android Lollipop in near future. This announcement comes probably because of the huge backslash from Android community resulted after announcing that Ascend Mate 2 won’t even be getting Android KitKat as we wrote here – http://huaweinews.com/2014/10/ascend-mate-2-kitkat/.
Huawei is trying to build a better image in US market and it would be a disaster for them to leave less than a year old Ascend Mate 2 with years old Android 4.3. Huawei must have felt that they have taken the wrong decision and we are happy because they have finally doing something to make it right for the consumers.

Huawei is never good in providing updates fast!
I think unimportant... So even Google is guaranteed for only two years OS update for their devices.
But if want to get fastest OS update you can buy Google Pixel.
Huawei suffers poor and old dune picture saying that the update are late! but his is no longer true in particular for its collaboration with Google and the fact of wanting to conquer the European market. otherwise so as we announced android nougat for year end we will be in the first to have it.
Hello people, i wanted to create thread where people could post their knowledge about possible EMUI 5 update and so people seeking for the answere could find it here, i will start:
Today (1st december 2016) was published short new (official) about huawei devices that will get Nougat. P8, of course, isnt in the list, wich isnt surprising considering its huawei , some details bellow:
first devices that will get Nougat:
Huawei P9
Mate 8
few weeks later:
Huawei P9 Plus
Huawei P9 Lite
however, there are still some rumors that at least P8 and P8 lite still shoud get this update, but if huawei was planning to update this model, why huawei can not comfirm update for this models too? I would be pleased to have features from emui 5, especially new F2FS which has a much smaller fail rate – memory compression and GPU acceleration thanks to native Vulkan support.
There are no more rumors. It's phonearena's wishful thinking that one year old flagship should be updated. It won't be. Mali-T628 doesn't support Vulkan. End of story.
memory compression (zram) is already enabled

Today i got an email from Huawei Bulgaria saying that there won't be official Nougat update because they have done some testing and this is better for our device but they will continue improving the current available version of Android.
Huawei Mobile*has released the Android 7 Nougat update for the P9, P9 Lite and Mate 8 devices. Why they haven't done the same for the P8, P8 Lite and Mate S, this*only leads to one conclusion:
Huawei*only cares about the factory line revenue generation of their P9, P9 Lite and newer devices! All you customers who purchased new P8, P8 Lite and Mate S*a few months back, you can be sure that Huawei*only wants you to buy a newer mobile phones and leave older devices even if they are still sufficient by hardware side.
The hardware requirements for Android Nougat are irrefutably the same as Android Marshmallow.* Where is 18 month software support?

If I remember correctly it isn't really Huawei's fault. Google doesn't support the version for P8 because of security issues.
Anyway I wouldn't really looking for the Android 7.0, most of the UI is available in Launchers like Nova and other pars of it doesn't really make much of a difference.

EMUI 5 uses new filesystem format which makes phone faster and makes the phone fast even after a long time of usage becauses it doesnt fragment data, i think it could be noticable in midend phone like P8, shame we wont have it...

i dont know M8 but what i can say is huawei itself comfirmed that model P8 wont get further versions of android except those with security patch, Have HTC ever said that they will never get nougat? i think that even if huawei could bring it to us later, they just wont anymore, they released TOO many new devices since then, if they had to maintain all of them they would get crazy and no profit from that what so ever, if there is any hope is very, very small, and i dont have any anymore
I don't have a P8 but I remember always wanting one due to the awesome design. If developers can port Nougat to My Galaxy S4 then I really don't see why Hauwei can't make an official release for the p8. With 2 year software updates the norm I find this extremely unacceptable. The vulkan requirement is false, for I can run nougat on a S4 (custom ROM) and have no graphical issues at all. Good luck with your petition.

nope, you ain't seeing nougat on p8. we chinese users have been asking huawei since the release of emui 5, and all the answer from them is "no major functional upgrades, but security patches will continue". so stop hoping for official emui 5, and cross your fingers for third-party flavors like lineage. btw based on the status of the cm13 and lineage13 here, lineageos suooprt seems promising.

Anyone know what's going on with Huawei and their updates.
VIE-L09
•Latest security patch 1 July.
•No new unapproved builds in FF.
Is this the end?
Hi !
It seems so, but Huawei was always scrimp with communication on updates.
It is very disappointing, no oreo, no more updates, flagship from 2016. The same will happen to other flagships from 2018, within 1 year they will be, too, forgotten regarding updates. so no more handset from huawei ((((. Huawei is about ONLY hipe around newer and newer phones, but they forget to update. Fooling users.
Even my 4-year-old Lumia 640 is regularly updated with spring and fall creators updates. LOL Microsoft.-))
As far as I know, FF works no more because of **** like server encrypting or something like this.
Who knows the future?...
yeah, Huawei sucks when it comes to updating their phones, it's a pity when phones are pretty good.

I bought a LG G7 ThinQ instead, it is likely to get Android Pie as well, not developer friendly etc but a nice phone with SD845. It's exactly as long as the P9 Plus but less wide making it more pocket friendly. The dealbreaker was price (380€ in a campaign) conciderably lower than even Oneplus 6 and the ESS Quad DAC with 3.5mm headphone jack, I listen to a lot of music through premium cans.
