Earlier this year, Huawei introduced the budget-friendly Honor 6X smartphone, which comes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The company promised that it would get the latest Nougat update, much to the delight of its users.
According to a new report, the Android 7.0 Nougat update is finally rolling out for the Honor 6X after facing a number of delays. This update is highly anticipated as it brings a host of new features and improvements to the device.
Delayed but Worth the Wait
It was initially promised that the handset would receive the new operating system by the first half of 2017. Although it might be a little late, the update has started rolling out for the handset. The latest update will upgrade the handset’s interface to EMUI 5.0 and is expected to reach all devices by the end of this month.
The EMUI 5.0 interface brings a more streamlined and user-friendly experience. It includes features such as an app drawer, improved notification management, and enhanced security settings. Users can also expect better performance and battery life with this update.
How to Get the Update
If you can’t spot the OTA (Over-The-Air) notification on your device, don’t panic. The update roll-out process is gradual and released in phases. This means it might take a few days or even a week or so for the update to reach all devices. This phased approach helps ensure that any potential issues can be addressed before the update reaches a wider audience.
For those who are impatient and can’t wait for the OTA notification, you can manually check for the update. Simply head over to the settings menu on your Honor 6X, go to “Updater,” and check if the update is available for your device. If it is, you can download and install it right away.
The Android 7.0 Nougat update brings several new features to the Honor 6X, including:
– Multi-Window Support: This allows users to run two apps side by side, making multitasking easier and more efficient.
– Enhanced Doze Mode: This feature helps to save battery life by putting the device into a low-power state when it is not being used.
– Improved Notifications: Users can now reply to messages directly from the notification shade and bundle notifications from the same app together.
– Data Saver: This feature helps to reduce data usage by restricting background data for certain apps.
These new features, combined with the improvements brought by EMUI 5.0, make the Honor 6X an even more attractive option for budget-conscious consumers.
