Huawei already warned a few months ago that it would propose a custom layer not so heavy like the one I had at that time. An imperative need for Android to perform much better and not be tied to that software that tends to wreak havoc on both the performance and the battery of the terminal. It also tells that the pure version of Android is looking better and better, so that Pixel will attract more and more people.
Earlier this month the search for candidates to test beta Android Nougat for the Honor 8. After choosing a good sum of them, the company is now releasing beta builds, so today we already have access to the first screenshots of what is a layer clearer personalized, as evidenced by them.
Screenshots show Android Nougat running EMUI 5.0 on Honor 8, and as you can see, everything seems clearer and cleaner. This is because Android Nougat on the Honor 8 comes with Huawei's EMUI 5.0, also seen on the recently launched Mate 9.
This new custom layer, or what are some tweaks that make it lighter to the eye, get EMUI to be more like what is Android, instead of that resemblance more to iOS. The latter was one of the harshest criticisms ever received from Huawei, the manufacturer that is currently the third-largest seller on the planet.
So, with a purer version to Android, the Honor 8 becomes an even more desirable phone than it was when it was released. A terminal that sold 1,5 million units in its first two months of life, as reported in this news. If you own one, it will be a matter of waiting to get your hands on that Nougat that looks great.
