With Honor, it’ll be exciting to see if Huawei will revise its Emotion UI (EMUI) running on top of Android with the Marshmallow. Still, with Marshmallow’s ‘Doze’ Mode, combined with Huawei’s excellent battery optimization tools, we could see even more incredible battery life from the Honor smartphones.
While Honor has confirmed the update, it’s parent brand Huawei has been visible in its lack of upcoming information; the company is known for being somewhat slow at updating its smartphones but being a Nexus OEM may help speed up this speed.
