        alnherco, 13 Jun 2018October for me! It's ok just in time for the elder scrolls VI October is going to be a great month this year indeed. My honor 9 will get the update, and Forza Horizon 4 will be released. Best of all, I'll be playing it free on Xbox Game Pass day one.

          DangerousDroid, 14 Jun 2018Sounds like cheating on graphics quality to me...Mali-G72 GPU in charge so no cheating... that GPU can be boosted to deliver high quality graphics with better performance using less energy...

          Seems like Huawei found a way up turbo boost the Mali-G72 GPU and it just works.

            Yet another username, 14 Jun 2018Oh really? So why is my Huawei Mate 9 still on Android 7. 0... moreHow is that even possible? I got the Oreo update back in December last year and got the May security patches and Face unlock earlier this week. They are doing good with updates. Not maybe as fast as my previous Nexus, but pretty damn good. Almost monthly updates for over a year I've owned this phone. I was told Huawei never updates their phones, but my experience with this phone allows me to say that's not true.

                          This is very suss.
                          Did they cap the software clock speed on big. Little?

                          Very obvious to limit the heat.
                          Watch now how the heat will return

                                      From last 3 months my honor 8 pro getting updates continuously in India. I think honor has improved in providing updates. Waiting for the gpu update in October

                                        Geric.770, 14 Jun 2018Huawei is actually improving their timely updates over the years.It's true,I mean if you see the most phones coming under project treble, it was a surprise for me that huawei was the answer
