A pair of spiffy Android handsets are about to be upgraded to Android 7.0 Nougat.

Huawei already has its foot in the door to the U.S. market, and now it is looking to thrust its whole body inside. The Chinese OEM announced that its Honor 8, which was introduced in China earlier this year, is now on its way to battle it out in the States.

You’ll also find either 32GB or 64GB of storage onboard, although you can save a few bucks by getting the entry-level model and adding your own more cost-effective microSDHC card. The smartphone also includes two...
