As always the norm, expect the update to roll out in phases, covering one region at a time, so don’t be disappointed in you haven’t got any notification yet. But be patient it will eventually reach your state within few days; such significant updates do not appear everywhere at the same time at once.

Also, do remember that your Honor 8 Pro has enough Battery life, at least more than 60%, in reserve to successfully installed it without any issues. Moreover, it is always recommended to download such updates via Wi-Fi rather then your mobile data, to avoid any extra charges, if you’re running low on data. The company has already promised that it will roll out the update before the end of 2017. However, it’s now out, and we are glad that Huawei has stepped up their software updates game.
