While Huawei has promised Android Q will be available for several of its devices in multiple instances, Honor seems to have only confirmed the update for the Honor 20 series. However, that isn’t the case. Honor India actually revealed over a week ago that two other phones will be getting the Android Q update. These two phones are the Honor 8X and the Honor 10.
Both the Honor 8X and the Honor 10 were released last year and already have successors – Honor 9X and Honor 20 respectively. Both phones launched with EMUI 8.x based on Android 8.1 Oreo but have now been updated to Android Pie.
The evidence that both phones will get the update to Android Q are replies on Twitter to questions asked on if both phones will get the update.
Thank you for showing your interest for Android Q. We would like to inform you that our software team has already evaluated and confirmed the compatibility of Android Q upgrade with Honor 8X.

The Honor 8X and Honor 10 should get the update along with EMUI 10 which should debut with the Mate 30 series later this year. However, the update may not arrive on both phones until much later.
There are still other devices that Honor hasn’t confirmed will get the Android Q update such as the Honor View 20 and the Honor Play. We will be assuming that since it has confirmed the update for the Honor 8X and Honor 10, their siblings – the Honor 8X Max and Honor Note 10 will also be updated to Android Q.
Thank you for showing your interest for Android Pie, we would like to inform you that our software team has confirmed the compatibility of device with Android Pie with EMUI 9.1 and expected to be released the final version from 30th Jul’19 onwards.

In a more recent tweet, Honor India also confirmed that the Honor 7X will receive an update that brings EMUI 9.0 based on Android Pie starting July 30.
