A two-month delay for an expected updated is par for the course when it comes to receiving major updates from Google. Keeping true to fashion, the Android 7.0 Nougat update for Huawei’s Honor 6X was supposed to happen last March, but is now only rolling out this month to those in the US. Along with the usual goodies that come with the update, smartphone owners will also be getting the EMUI 5.0 so a visual interface overhaul will also be happening.
By this time we’re already familiar with what you get when you upgrade to Nougat: better battery management, improved multi-tasking features, replying through notifications, 72 new emojis, among other things. But since the update also brings EMUI 5.0, you also get a few other things that only Huawei/Honor devices get. The major ones include bringing a simpler interface with a blue and white color scheme, three-step operation 90% of the time, and a smoother system that will make it easier for you to switch between tasks.
The update also brings a more secure system specifically when it comes to user privacy, mobile payment and communication, and app usage. The task manager has also been remodeled, bringing bigger task cards that can be swiped and pinned. You can also now have two user account profiles within one app. Plus you have an app drawer option to centralize all desktop apps.
The update will roll out to all Honor 6X users starting now. But it will also be gradual and is expected to be completed by the middle of May.

I read from a lot of reviews that people are facing problems in the Nougat ROM which they downloaded from Firmware Finder or something. I can't risk my phone with that as it's a Beta release. I clearly made up my mind and was waiting for the official update ever since. By the way, I am from India and I just bought my Honor 6x like 2 weeks back. Do you have any idea about when will they be sending the update in my country? Would appreciate if anyone could provide genuine information regarding this! Thanks!
Wajira , Did you get Stable Nougat or not ?? I'm also from Sri Lanka and impatiently waiting for a nought update.
I am also waiting for the nougat. I signed up for the beta tester release but am yet to hear from them. An email to the Huawei team advised that since I am not from Vietnam, no beta release for me.

Huawei designed EMUI 5.0 based on newly released Android 7.0 beta update released for Huawei GR5 2017 :good: :good:
Huawei has launched the beta testing of the EMUI 5.0 which is based on Android 7.0 Nougat for the Huawei GR5 (2017). The latest software is still in beta that’s why the Chinese company is looking for testers before it gets officially released.
This update fixing one of the biggest complaints that we had with the phone – namely the bland and uninspiring UI. Android Nougat brings a lot of new things to the table, which includes better Doze implementation (which should result in even better battery endurance), better notification management and more.
Please check below videos :highfive:

I'm come from Viet Nam. At this time we got info from Huawei FB about some people don't have update because Huawei have system mistake, they tell us "if anybody regist but have no update, email them to fix it.

How to rectify this.
Please advise.
I received Honor 7x a few days ago, it came in version L21C432B102 and since then has not had any more updates.
Using the Firmware Finder I have seen that your latest version is B123.
So far no OTA update has come for me, anyone else with this problem? Do you have a solution?

I had L21C432B101 and managed to upgrade to B102 using firmware finder, but no other update will install that is a b102 to b1xx firmware. I'm in the UK and bought the 7x direct from the Honor UK website.

For the L21C432 you can jump right into the Oreo beta if you want, using https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/manual-update-to-oreo-beta-emui-8-bnd-t3767044
Note the factory reset doesn't seem to be actually necessary.
I have the firmware BND-L21C432B102 too. I tried to install the next update which was approved for installation. This is BND-L21C432B130
It´s not possible to install the update.
I asked the honor support for updates. the said, that the next update for my phone is L21C432B124CUSTC432D002
The update will arrive in the next 90 days.

I don't know, but update version for L21 is so very very slowy, i read from other thread in Indian version on Oreo they have a face unlock (L24 or L10 i forgot), but in L21 they haven't. LOL
So i did a request on the Honor Support.
WTF. They replied 1h later! WOW.. Perfect.
So the Andorid Oreo 8.0 Update was launched for Europe (Germany and Austria) 26.05.2018.
But it could take 8 weeks for reaching every device. So i have to wait.
And if no update is coming i have to request again..
Title says it all. I get that the Chinese models seem to have priority for updates, but I haven't seen anything regarding the US model of the 7X. Anyone have any info on it?

Nothing new for European and American models, seems like Emui 9.1 is out for Chinese version tho. If what Honor said months ago stands true, we need to wait until June for a beta
the middle-east region (L21-c185) also got emui 9.1 on 4-22

Do not trust the FF app right now. It has been showing an update to all models for emui 9.1 , but it does not show specific model number. And it is intended only for a pie to pie update. (beta update to full) and it has made a brick for everyone who jumped and installed it

If you have the a505f model you can try the indian firmware (google this :A505FDDU4BTC4) but i advise you to wait for your region's firmware since it may be impossible to go back to Android 9 after the upgrade.
Here's the link F India firmware
https://sourceforge.net/projects/samsungfw/files/SM-A505F/INS/A505FDDU4BTC4/
I flashed the INS firmware, no issues so far. Camera is still crappy, and the fingerprint sensor is still the same.

Technically speaking, the first package was the Update and the second is a Security update.
I'm a little rusty on my Samsung naming convention, but I just went through my old files from my Note 8 days and it was consistent.
U for version update, S for security update.
Also the 4th letter from the end is another indicator of the version. A = OS at release, B = 1st version upgrade, C = second and so on.
So I have a feeling this new file is still Android 9, and is just a security update.
A505FDDU4BTC4 indicates Android 10 version upgrade.
A505FDDS4ATB6 indicates Security update for release OS version.

It's a shame and completely unacceptable that an Android 10 build released in 2020 doesn't have full camera2api support. It's something that was introduced with stock Android Lollipop 5.0!
Why is camera2api not working. Is there any telegram group of devs where I can request for the same?
Well I'm not getting the update... From India
