As such, Honor has now rolled out a new update for Honor 8 devices and it comes with some interesting features and optimizations. The update comes as software version B389 and is basically a small size file as it does not come with Oreo.

So basically, the highlight of this new update is the new 3D Panorama mode. The new mode will allow the users to shoot 3D dynamic images from all sorts of angle and the images can further be added to the Mazagine unlock feature as reported by TAS. Honor 8 users can open the Camera app and access it through the app. The 3D dynamic images can be used as lock screen images as well.

Additionally, the update now adds a recycle bin feature in the gallery. What this does is that users can retrieve deleted pictures. Pictures will be stored in the recycle bin for just 30 days before they are removed permanently.

Another important feature has been added to the security procedure. Honor 8 users will have to enter their unlock screen pattern or password after every three days. The company says that this tool will help users remember their password. While it sounds good it might get annoying for some users.
Honor is also adding some split-screen feature with a new dedicated key for apps like Facebook and others. The new key will allow users to enter split-screen mode with just a single touch. This will definitely be useful for multitasking.
