It seems Huawei is planning to roll out the Android 8.0 Oreo update to its popular handsets in the months to come, or at least that's what a member of the XDA developers forum with the username Shashank1320 has claimed.

The company will reportedly starting seeding the latest firmware update to its Honor 8 Pro and the Honor 6X devices soon.

The XDA member has claimed Huawei officials have confirmed in a recent meeting in Delhi that the Honor 8 Pro would receive the Android 8.0 Oreo update by December this year, while the Honor 6X would get the firmware by the end of this year or early next year.

The Huawei Honor 8 Pro was released in April this year with Android 7.0 Nougat operating system, while the Honor 6X was launched in October last year with Android 6.0 Marshmallow (upgradable to Android 7.0 Nougat).
