Was wondering if Huawei has announced that they will upgrade Honor 7 to marshmallow. I have never used any Huawei device and am interested in Honor 7 so want to know how is Huawei in terms of SW upgrades etc. Does anyone in here has any experience of previous Huawei devices. I am really keen to know this as ROM development and SW upgrades are probably the most important aspects of a device's future.
Yes all Huawei flagships will get updated, while non flaships will get at lesser priority as well..
But they won't release as quick.. Rather depending on stability of the new android itself the update will delay and they will release it timed with release of their next flagship. So somewhere from January 2016 to May 2016.. That said, since Huawei is manufacturing this year's nexus things might be different.
As Warea said, we'll have the update.
I think google is going to surprise us with this new Android version, doing a global release for a lot of devices on Day 1.
Rumor says that Samsung has already the update ready for S6/S6Edge/Note4, .... And LG too. It's possible that this year, Google worked with manufacturers to make a global release for Android M because one of the things that Apple users are proud of is that every iOS device is updated at the same time with the same version. I think Google wants to fix that with Android.
We'll see !
is possible, but i doubt it, because on every android version, huawei must include emui new version, and they're veeeery slow making updates . honor 6 waiting lollipop yet in european version, and android m launches at end of this month...
no news yet on android 6, but the chinese editions of honor 7 are getting android 5.1 beta tests. http://cn.club.vmall.com/thread-4989272-1-1.html

Huawei updates really fast. They should release emui 4.0 marshmallow for honor 7 earliest by 2017 or maybe 2018 around the time they release the lollipop source code for honor 6.

If you look at last year most of phone brands were quick to announce upgrades to lollipop but they delivered only 2nd quarter of this year, while the few who updated quick were left with lollipop bugs.
I'm in no hurry to android 6 because many of the features are already on emui.. So I rather prefer a properly optimized and bug free update, plus significant changes on emui enough to make it feel like an update.
Honor 6
Let's look at the good, the bad and the horrible worst..
The GOOD -
good built up design and hardware
At good price...
Awesome high end specs
Smooth working never lags
Charges superfast..
It's been a year to own a huawei honor 6 and it's still the same as newly purchased.. Quite happy with the product and fully satisfied And I'm upgrading to honor seven.. Just go for it. N its the best available in the market at this stage
The BAD-
-NO SOFTWARE UPDATES needs some improvements in software but no updates provided in India secondly no OTA updates you need to stress yourself to know how exactly to download and install softwares.
-Delayed updates... We hear Google talking about Marshmallow where as lollipop is on the verge and honor devices still running on kitkat.. Yes, lollipop updates were provided to download and install but manually and bro it's time for marshmallow and we here were dying to receive lollipop (stable) yet..
-Indian versions are not provided with the features available to Chinese versions.. Not 64gb storage available no dual Sim available
-Cloud storage available only in China
For honor 7 I guess marshmallow would be available in next year Q1
The horrible WORST -
It's not at all a loyal brand
I can purely tag Huawei as "use and throw" device because,
-WORST customer service support
If anything happens to the device after purchasing it... You just need to dump it in the garbage bin (service centre) without having a hope of recycle and getting it back so just forget the past and look for a new one..
So if you wanna avoid such circumstances you got to handle with care
Else it works great smooth efficient.. User friendly... Great specs and awesome built..
So if you are a person frequently updating your handset go for it.. But if you are a long term user suggest you to go for some good branded devices..
Just my opinion.. And no offence meant.. Sorryyyy
My newsfeed showed me following page.
http://www.themobileindian.com/news...et-Android-6.0-Marshmallow-Update-in-Jan-2016
don´t know how credible this is and whether it also affects the other H7 versions.

No.... I received one update that was for emui 3.0 that's all and I hear lots of people updating their firmware but they do that manually.. And not OTA update so I get stuck as I didn't know how to do such updates manually..
But honor 7.. Marshmallow beta would be available from Jan I suppose..

What I feel is.. It's pointless in waiting for M update because it's skin emui 3.0 takes it all over the material design and I feel emui is awesome if they keep updating emui..
The lollipop update in honor 6 didn't have much change as the design would remain emui..

Except the ota for the honor 6 & 6+ went out already. So again, saying it had no updates is nonsense.

Sorry sir It may be nonsense for people having technical knowledge
And I'm sorry but I forgot to mention earlier that all the firmware updates were never officially by Huawei for "h60 L04" model (Indian variant) if you check out the official website of honor India there are no updates but when you check updates for Chinese model then you will find many software updates on their official site for honor 6 but none of them would end with model "h60 L04"
So on that part I told that there are no updates
Honor confirmed on twitter that the Honor 7 will be updated to 6.0 in Q1 2016.
Date not confirmed for the 6+.

PLK-XX is Honor 7 where XX stands for different regional versions. It's the same with P8, the EU version (L01) is not on the list, probably because this list is not intended for European readers!
Marshmallow Will arrive in january 2016.

I've put my name down (via Honor's PR agency), and once you give your IMEI you'll be sent an OTA update automatically once it's ready. I'll let you all know the progress, but believe there will be a requirement NOT to share the code with others so please don't ask me to extract the files and release the ROM.
Of course, I'm sure someone will...
With the release of more and more details about Android N, does it seem possible a niche phone like the huawei mate 8 will get it? It seems to focus on performance much like this phone does. Itd make a perfect match which makes me believe that it won't release for us. any thoughts or anyone wanna spread some hopeful words?
looking at the pretty insane update speed for the mate 8 ever since it came out, im actually very positive concerning nougat for our device even the mate 7 finally got marshmallow (albeit with some delay), so the mate 8 should fare even better (meaning a faster adaptation to nougat). im not worried

If progress goes well for the Kirin 960, EMUI 5.0 (most likely Android N) will come out near the end of 2016 with Mate 9. If Huawei follow its track record with the Mate 7, Mate 8 should receive this major update a few months after the Mate 9 is released, so Mate 8 owners should get Android N somewhere in the first half of 2017.
yep, that sounds about right

Anybody heard any news/rumors on when Honor 8 will get 7.1.1 release? Also, is 7.1.1 EMUI 5.1 or is EMUI 5.1 a separate release?
Axon 7 got its 7.1.1 update last week!
Lol, theirs been nothing from Honor for the US H8 sense January. All that's expected from here is a security patch and that's about it.

I agree. I've seen no signs that Honor has any honor regarding the make believe agreement with XDA (and their customers), but I'd love to be shown how wrong I am ;
Really bad. I bought Honor trusting they will be better at updates. If they don't, then it's to break that trust. OnePlus seems better off now in updates as well (along with Axon 7).
The L-04 is neglected if we are being honest here. The other models got that update to fix the battery issue on Nougat but then we have the L-04 still with a December 1 security update. The others have January...
Still a wonderful phone just that sometimes models get neglected while the others get the updates. However, I hear that they do all their testing in the Chinese forums where a 7.1 build is also.
Sent from my FRD-L04 using Tapatalk
I have the L14 really like the phone but Nougat and EMUI 5 has been disastrous for my battery life. Huawei communication is completely non-existent and disappointing. I am thinking of going back to MM and hopefully they'll fix the battery life. Unfortunately this has left a bitter taste so my next phone may be something else.
Might as well forget about 7.1.1 and hope it gets 7.1.2 at this point. By the time we get an update there will be Android O.
According to HuaweiEMUI page on Facebook(sorry I can't post url because I'm new to here), EMUI 5.1 won't be offered to honor 8 for now, however Huawei will release an update after June this year which includes fixes and feature enhancements.
Yeah updates for Honor 8 was a big letdown, my last honor device for sure.

So Honor 8 not getting 5.1 or get 5.1 after June? I just need them to solve the terrible battery life on my L14 on B360. This device has been excellent but their "2 year" to upgrades and updates is highly questionable.
To be fair, since honor use their own chip, it will take longer to update. But I'm agree, I expected better from honor, especially after their partnership with xda

Hi @breezyhill
https://www.facebook.com/HuaweiEMUI/
EMUI Unfortunately, EMUI 5.1 will not be offered to devices that have EMUI 5.0, EMUI 4.1 or lower systems for now. Some of the new functions from EMUI 5.1 will be built into a debugged, featured-enhanced version of EMUI 5.0 that will be released after June 2017. Stay tuned.
EMUI Hi all, at present we cannot provide a definite date on the release for your devices. However, the Android N (EMUI 5.0) updates will be available for Mate 8, P9, P9 Plus, P9 Lite, Honor 8, Honor 6X, Nova, and Nova Plus. If your phone is one of these mentioned, rest assured that we are actively developing and testing the N update to ensure the best performance for you. Thank you for your understanding and patience
I recently got the Honor 8, they need to push out the B380 update to USA users, at least give us some security patches.

It's bad that your having to ask for this as it was Honor USA that worked with XDA to promise two years of updates.
U should go onto Honor USA Google+ group to hassle them for your updates.
Remind them that it was then that made this promise

Hi Luis, EMUI 5.1 will not be offered to devices that have EMUI 5.0, EMUI 4.1 or lower systems for now.

Does anyone know when we can expect to get 7.1.1 on the Plus?
I'm interested due to the battery improvements brought by 7.1.1.
Thanks!

TBH I don't think there will be Android 7.1.1 at all since around September the first devices will already receive Android O and hopefully from that point on it won't be long until we do, too.

Well I'm GUESSING (and hoping!) it will be around November but then again if I look at how long it took Huawei to eventually update all devices with Android 7 it might as well be later than that. It of course also depends which corner of the world you live in. The Europe version of the P9 Plus for example, which I had before the P10 Plus, has received 7 only in MARCH (!) this year... I really hope they are gonna do it more quickly than that this time.

My bet is that it will receive Android O around December/January.
Most probably the Mate 10 will come with Android O, and from there, we have to wait 3-4 months for last generation of devices to update.
The same story was last year, with the Mate 9 announced with Nougat and the P9 and Mate 9 updated later in December.

But since then, the Honor 8 has been removed from the devices which Zhao listed who are being updated.

It could mean that even he isn't sure which models are actively testing Oreo or they haven't even started testing it. Until it's put through some type of early tests, they can't release any info.
Haha let's start speculation again.
You right.
I am assuming that he is very well aware of what's the Honor plan in near future. On the other hand it might be later found inconvenient for Huawei to let spread the official statement about last year Honor flagships -
Honor 8 and 8 Pro - are about to receive Oreo which might have significant impact on both Huawei and Honor new models sales (like still mentioned Honor 9 and V9). I think they will release official statement (now they surely have to) after Christmas, probably January 2018, about releasing Oreo for those phones in Q1 of 2018. Who knows Honor would then expect the release of OTA about April to May of 2018 practically.
While there is still a small chance that Huawei could even stop the release of the update if they are afraid of new models sales., I don't think they will play that card for good reason - credibility in the eyes of potential customers.
Where is that list, and where did you got this from?

I think that's an excellent argument, it's very possible that their reasoning is a new OS on an older phone will affect sales of a new phone. Wait a few months after the release of your new phone and then push out Oreo to the older phone. The marketing people may be in charge of this theory.

B398 OTA for L09C432 was pushed recently, and
some Croatian users reported B399 started to appear.
B398 includes November security patch.
B399 includes December security patch.
A new one, B401 just appeared on Firmware Finder, I suppose, according to the size, that it is nougat with January security patch.
So, even if I wish there were monthly updates for security, we have security updates.

They do it all the time, after this the FRD-L09 models won't see updates for a while and all the other models will recieve updates. They did this before and I'm pretty sure they'll do it again. I just don't get why Honor doesn't have one universal model number for all regions like OnePlus or Google.

The reason I really like this phone is cause I got it on Black Friday last year with a bunch of accessories. The price I got it for was alot lesser than OnePlus at that time and honestly for me the current build is pretty stable for my usage (Teen with bunch of social media, YouTube and games).

sony is great on software in fact its the best due to its large adds a large amount of code to aosp. they use vanilla ui with optimization and if they use a skin its easy to remove thanks to rro.
all oems should follow sony's ui methods. no one likes themes that are hard coded, they just suck! what im hoping is that google bakes security updates into treble so that they can be downloaded through the playstore in the future.
About two weeks ago I sent an Email to the honor support. I asked them about their once made promise to update the honor 8 for at least two years after the release. The answer was that the two years support would only include security updates. They wouldnt give any comment on oreo. I would guess it is rather unlikely that we will get an update to oreo for our device.
