The Elephone P9000 was released more than a year ago alongside a curved variant called the P9000 Edge and a lower specced version called the P9000 Lite. Seven months ago, Elephone announced the P9000 was going to get updated to Nougat.

A beta version was made available two months after the announcement but it was buggy. Today, Elephone has released a stable version which can now be installed by anyone and that fixes the bugs in the November beta update.

The update comes with March’s security patch and the changelog says the fingerprint sensor has been optimized. The update is not available as an OTA yet so you will have to manually flash it for now. The update comes in at over 1GB in size.

Android Nougat brings a bunch of new features such as split-screen multitasking, bundled notifications, notification direct reply, and a new and improved Doze.

Less than a month ago we reported that the Honor 8 was going to get its Nougat update by February; a statement made by Huawei itself. Judging from the info from Huawei Japan, the update will start rolling out as from Monday, 16th of January.

Like any other update, this will also be rolled out in stages, so if you do not get the update on Monday, you should receive it in the following days as long as you are in Japan.

Honor 8 owners in North America might have to still wait till February for their update though. The update comes in at a whooping 1.97GB which is pretty heavy to be honest. Honor Japan advises that you back up your data and have at least 50% battery available before you commence the update.

The update will bring all the cool new features in Nougat such as split-screen multitasking and some new EMUI features like App Twin and Private Space. There is no mention of what version of security patch level will come with it but it should at least be December seeing as Google devices got the January security patch less than 2 weeks ago.
