Unfortunately, it's true that the Honor 8 won't be getting the Android Oreo update. This is a real shame, especially if you're a fan of the phone and were hoping to get the new features and improvements that come with the update. However, there may be some consolation in the fact that Honor has stated that the phone has hardware and software limitations that make it incompatible with the update. This means that the phone may be able to run Android Oreo, but it wouldn't be able to do so optimally. In any case, it's still a disappointment for anyone who was looking forward to the Oreo update.

I don't know from where you got the information that the Huawei company has confirmed there will not be an Oreo update to Honor 8 due to it's manufacturing limitations. The information is wrong and now an Oreo update has been rolled out for the handset.

Last month an Android 8 Oreo update has been released in China for Huawei's Honor 8. Soon India will also get an update according to international news portals. Along with India Europe also in the list to get an Android Oreo update as per Huawei fans. France and Germany are the first in the list to get an os update to the flagship model Honor 8. This move will make the already hit in the market device much more demanding. Even the used or refurbished markets are showing high demand for Honor 8.

There are no reports that there is a hardware change in any latest models of Honor 8. If there was a limitation in the hardware to run Oreo on it then how come the company could manage an update now.

The Honor 8 was propelled in India in October 2016 and it accompanies Android 6.0 Marshmallow out-of-the-case. As a result of the absence of Android Oreo update, the Honor 8 will stay on Marshmallow until the end of its life.

The organization has said that it has chosen not to give the Android Oreo upgrade to Honor 8 since it has a processor that isn't completely perfect with the new working framework. The organization clarified that the processor isn't equipped for dealing with a few highlights of the OS and it would bring about execution issues if the organization were to press ahead with the update.

In this way, the Honor 8 is presently stuck with Marshmallow until the end of its life. The organization has additionally said that it will give security patches for the gadget for whatever length of time that it has the capacity. Be that as it may, it won't give any new highlights or upgrades to the gadget.
