It seems Huawei is planning to announce something big in the near future. The popular mobile phone maker is expected to release its flagship -- the Huawei Mate 10 – in October, and that's not all. It has emerged that the Chinese company is planning to announce its new in-house operating system EMUI 6.0 based on Android 8.0 Oreo.

A Weibo user has claimed in a post that Huawei's Android 8.0 Oreo-based EMUI 6.0 is on the road for release. It is not known when the firmware will be rolled out to the eligible devices but it will come as a pleasant surprise if Huawei brings it in October itself. 

Only a few handsets, namely Google Pixel, Pixel XL and Pixel C have received Android 8.0 Oreo update. The new software comes with features like New Notifications, Support for Picture-in-Picture Mode, Improvements in connectivity, New Emojis, Improved WebView API, Multiple Display Support, New keyboard features, security and feature enhancements, and Improved Doze Mode.
