The Honor 6X, which was unveiled last year in October, is all set to receive Android Nougat based EMUI 5 update next month.
The Honor 6X, at the time of launch, was running on (and still is) EMUI 4.1 which is based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. We would have loved to see Honor launch the 6X with Android 7.0 Nougat, however, given the fact that the number of devices running Android Nougat is still low, we can’t complain much.
Honor had said that it will push the Nougat based EMUI 5 before mid-2017, however, Honor deciding to roll-out the update next month is appreciated. “The new EMUI for Honor 6X will be arriving next month, and it’s been updated based on consumer feedback.” said Huawei in an email sent to Android Police.
