Soon Honor will kick off their beta program for the Honor 7X, which was our pick for Best Budget Phone recently. This program will allow users of the 7X to get early access Android 8.0 and EMUI 8.0 on their device. The beta program is currently available for France, Germany, Spain, India and Italy, but they’re willing to open it up to other countries if there’s interest. So if you have a 7X and you’re not in France, Germany, Spain, or Italy, leave a comment below with your country and we’ll make sure Honor knows about it and hopefully they can expand this program to other countries soon.
The beta OTA will begin pushing to phones on March 12
To join the program:
The beta build will then be pushed to your device via OTA software update.
