If you happen to be using the honor 6 or honor 6 Plus, good news: these two devices can now be updated to Android Lollipop via OTA, eliminating the need – and hassle – of flashing this version of Android.
With this Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update (which honor dubs EMUI 3.1), the honor 6 and honor 6 Plus’ user interface should look and feel very similar to the honor 7 after the update has been installed. After all, the honor 7 was already running on EMUI 3.1 when it was introduced to the market.

While an Android Marshmallow update would’ve been nicer, not many Android smartphones – except for Nexus devices – have received it yet. That being said, honor is already rolling out the Marshmallow update to the honor 7 in India; there’s even an Enhanced Edition of the device that runs on the latest version of Android out of the box in China. Chances are, it will only be a matter of time before the Marshmallow update arrives on other honor devices as well.
