Whats the difference between huawei GR5 2017 and honor 6x ? Like i cant understand why there are 2 different brandings is there any difference in software/hardware?
Honor 6x has 4GB of ram while gr5 2017 has only 3GB
and also there is NFC enable honor 6x
and there is also re-branded version call Mate 9 lite
they are using different names for different region. but i don't know why
Nothing
GR5 2017 is rebranded Honor 6x
i buyed a Honor 6x with Gr5 2017 BLL-21 Firmware on a ebay shop from Shengzen.

Hornor 6x has 2 Versions with 3GB/32GB and 4GB/64GB

Thanks for your reply and yes i have the honor 6x 3gb version but i bought it from KSA and in my country the device is sold as GR5 2017 so i was confused as to what is the difference or what is the point of rebranding if nothing is different and its exactly the same?
Hello,
Can this ROM [PRA-LX1] [PRA-LX1C02B143] for CZ update to any of the other versions here?
Thank you, CCD.
When will honor 6x get Emui 5.1 update?

Early 2018 or late 2017.
I think Indian users need to wait some more time than others
Hi i had a question about the new Android Oreo, is the Honor 6X going to be updated or not ? And if yes then are all the models going to be updated or only select models ? I have a GR5 2017 (Honor 6X)
Model: BLL-L21 is going to be updated ?
While honor didn't confirm anything, it can be upgraded to android O.
But don't get to excited, as it may not get it (like the 5x ended up with only MM)
honor provided nougat update on honor 6x earlier than redmi note 4. Honor 6x is worldwide popular device they will definitely provide o update

yes we will get android O update by the end of this year. but honor has to decide to do the same thing like they released beta version of emui 5 for testers or direct release. andorid O is emui 5.1 on the way.
Honor didn't confirm anything so far, so these are just expectations
I hope this is true

I'll try ask honor and see their answer
I got the same model as you bll-121 gr5 2017 but why doesn't it have any custom rom or kernels or any mods

It will definitely get it
Probably not going to happen - unless it is very easy to port from Honor 8 Pro/Honor 9.

While your guess is on point (because honor 5x didn't get it), I think honor will try updating the 6x to nougat
.
I too think the same as Honor 6x is a very popular phone and it received the nougat update without much delay.
Honor 6x BLN-L22
Well they dropped the 7 because of Vulkan and Google's update policy.
As for the 6x, I don't see why they'll leave it without update to oreo.
If it happened that'll be the biggest mistake honor will do this year
Guys, I'm a little confused.
GR5 201 7 and Honor 6X are the same phone. But what about Mate 9 Lite? It is the same phone too, the only differences are the shell and the brand logo.
I mean, Huawei is working on Android 8 for the Mate 9, so probably Mate 9 Lite will get Oreo too.
In fact, when Huawei updates a phone, the lite version usually gets the same update too. Let's think about P8 and P8 lite, P9 and P9 Lite, etc.
But I'm worried because Honor 5X stopped receiving updates at Marshmallow, after only one year of guaranteed support.
I'm hoping for Mate 9 Lite update, what do you think?

Following the record of huawei and updates, it should get oreo.
I think it will get the oreo update as honor 4c had recieved two major updates too.. and if it dont get it..
Then there is honor 8 lite/p8 lite 2017/p9 lite 2017 released with nougat.. it will surely receive one major upgrade thats oreo.
And this device is almost same to ours only the difference is dual cameras and screen size..

So someone at xda can port official emui 5.1 with oreo from honor 8 lite to our 6x..

Porting EMUI will be difficult, as it isn't open sourced like MIUI

Hello
is there any way to update EMUI in Gr5 2017 (BLL-L21) ?
I have version 5
best regards.
You're on latest. An EMUI 6 update isn't confirmed yet for our device, but if it should arrive, it'll be on Q1 2018 most probably.
