Since Honor 6 and 6 plus are running on Kirin 920, 925 which doesn't support Vulcan API, it seems that it can't be updated to Nougat.
Will Honor provide it by any alternate means, if any?
Got it from Wiki that Kirin 920 and 925 won't support Vulcan API. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulkan_(API)
most probably it wont get as the gpu fails to be compatible with vulkan
I don't think so
Personally,I think google must remove vulcan api as requirement for update.Its like:
''Your phone has the power to handle the next at least 3 android versions,but since your gpu doesnt support vulcan api,which practically has nothing to do with running the os,fock off.''
I also think that 2 versions forward update thing should be broken,I mean we have ultra fast device with 3gb ram,it just doesnt make sense to get stuck on marshmallow,when some phones which are much weaker than our will get nougat.I even got the phone in the end of july...
Meanwhile apple bricking iphone 5 with ios 10.

I agree with you, because of this many great smartphones (like GS5, 1+1 G3...etc) won't get official update

It can be optional but not compulsary.
In Honor series of smartphone this affects Honor 6, 6 plus and 7.

Yes indeed.The 2014 generation flagships finished the progress that the 2013 ones started,what I mean is that they are still running on almost full speed as on their launch,older flagships(galaxy s3 is a perfect example) started to get pretty laggy at some point.If vulcan api is the thing that stopped the breaking of the 2 versions forward update scheme,I hope that at least the 2015 gen ones will do it when android 8 comes out.

most phones should get android 7 as their gpu's have vulkan support, bt its still upto eoms, weather to update or not, even vulkan api supported phones may still be betrayed
Google is the only one to blame here

We can't do anything for betrayal by OEM.. But in this case, OEM do think to provide updates. Due to google restriction, they were unable to.

Cant huawei just release updated drivers and source so devs would be able to build 7.0 themselves?It seems more realistic than a whole new official update.

As of now, Huawei has not released most of the sources. So I doubt that this will happen.

It didn't even release the basics to building custom ROMs. I doubt they'll do ot now
They already distributed source code some time ago. But no Vulkan support, no Nougat update.

check lock screen settings if there so yes .
Yes
Google Virtual Reality Daydream not Screen saver also used to be known as Daydream before
Daydream VR
Is it Daydream VR compatible after 7.0 (EMUI 5) update or not? Is Kirin 950 processor compatible for the thermal performance required for Daydream?
I don't think the Honor 8 is daydream compatible yet. At the moment only Pixel devices are compatible with the use with daybream. Maybe the Honor 8 will be supported later on.

Hello
I am considering buying the phone but I read bad things about EMUI 4 and was wondering if the phone already received Nougat with EMUI 5?
I am also thinking about the Redmi note 4X, but since camera is important to me, I thought about the Honor 6X. Gaming is not important to me, just good battery life, camera and good software without lag
Emui 5 Beta is out now although stable version is released in China already. Never used redmi products so cannot help you there... But if you're looking to root your phone redmi might be better Cuz snapdragon processor....

For stable software better camera and better battery life go for honor 6x. For me the phone never lags even when playing games and the battery can reach up to 2 full days with moderate useage. Also ive saw many reviews about emui 4 being bad but i find it really good and im enjoying it so much

In Europe, EMUI 5 is been realeased OTA in these days. I haven't received yet, but I think I will soon.
I recommend you Honor 6x over Redmi.
I have used emui 4.1 and now using emui 5 beta in indian version I can say best os I ever found is emui its heavily customized plus with no lags nd I have tried almost every OS miui los rr etc but this one is different nd m in love with this OS
Buy the phone, and update to emui 5.0 ( MUCH MUCH better than emui 4.1) - althoughyou gotta waut for a week or two for the OTA official update

Instead of shouting at us read properly, you are in the MATE 30 PRO section, go and vent your frustrations in the proper section.
And as for your complaint, I had - my wife has it now, a mate 20 Pro which came with android 9 and with each update that phone got better. Update to Android 10 whent flawless so it looks like you have a defective device.
even on p30 is the same android 10 is total crap .. 9 was gold

Its all relative...how high are your expectations and in how far do you believe all the you tube reviews on new phones?
Huawei does like Samsung and Apple a good marketing with the aim of you believing them and buying their devices and this every year.
I had a Mate 9, Mate 10, Mate 20pro and now the Mate 30pro and the only one which I was not happy with camera wise was the Mate 10. The pictures from that phone looked often like oil paintings. I disagree about the Mate 20pro, it improved after upgrading to android 10 and its camera was - is good. Cannot judge the P30pro.
I do agree that some people will never be satisfied and always find excuses to complain, I am sure that these people have nothing better to do than complaining. These people should understand that if you want to take good pictures you buy a proper camera and not a phone with a camera but then we talking again about expectations.

ouch... thats harsh, i would have at least expected one more year of security updates only, without major android updates. harsh especially since EMUI 11 isnt even out of Beta status yet...
edit: hold on a sec, we're still gonna get updates, just not regular ones anymore!
quote - "If the Mate 10 series is any indication, this doesn't mean that Huawei will stop sending updates to the phones entirely. They'll likely still receive patches; regularly for some time, then slowly afterwards—over the course of this year, at least."
ok, this i can live with, way more smooth than just going cold turkey

Ahh right. I didn't know that.
I'm still on EMUI 10.
So do we think the Mate 20 X will ever get anymore updates after the EMUI 11 update?
Major updates no. So no EMUI 12 or whatever it will be called.
However, Security updates will still come most likely.
