Huawei is now moving away from cloning iOS UX for something similar to stock Android for customers in the US.

Honor 8 EMUI 5.0 update with Nougat is currently rolling out only in the US for model FRD-L04. There is no word when the Indian variant will get the update, which still lacks VoLTE support.
