Huawei U8860 Honor gets an official "demo" Android 4.0 ROM

11 December, 2011

We are surprised to say the least, but a fact is a fact, folks - Huawei has released an official Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich ROM for its U8860 Honor handset (you can check out our hands-on impressions of it here). This makes the Chinese maker of budget devices the first manufacturer to release the latest version of the Google OS to a non-Nexus device.

The ROM, which is dubbed as a "demo" (we are not sure what this term stands for) is readily available for download on the Huawei Honor's official product page. It is in simplified Chinese, and comes with instructions about reverting back to Gingerbread in case the new OS experience doesn't float your boat.
