Upgrade to Android Oreo for Huawei P9 and P9 Plus is on its way

Huawei promised to update the flagship P9 and P9 Plus smartphones to a fresh operating system. It seems that this will happen in the near future.

What is known

This was told by the head of the company's products on the forum. From his words, smartphones will soon receive Android 8.0 Oreo. Most likely, this will be the last major update for the devices. Recall that smartphones came out in 2016. Originally they were preinstalled with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, then both devices were updated to Nougat.

What to expect

With a fresh operating system, the version of the shell will be updated to EMUI 8. Along with it, smart phones will get some opportunities related to AI. For example, resource allocation, clever screen sharing, etc. Nevertheless, a complete list of functions based on artificial intelligence, as in Mate 10 or Mate 10 Pro, is not to be expected.
