Huawei Honor 4X finally receives Android 5.0 Lollipop and Emui 3.1


In the last Mobile World Congress 2015 Huawei announced its new mid-range terminal; Huawei Honor 4X. This terminal is considered the brother of Huawei Honor 6, but did not stand out for anything special. This device had storage of 8 GB (expandable with microSD), but otherwise had 3000 mAh battery and 13 megapixel Sony camera. This smartphone came with a price of around $200 and Android version 4.4 KitKat, so now or at the time it was not a “revolutionizing” but a more mid-range phone. Still, it did not disappoint in bandages, especially in India.

On the one hand this new version of the operating system means that Huawei has not abandoned this terminal, although one has taken more good and more “important” than this. Second Lollipop certainly brings a new look to this as any terminal. Perhaps the Honor 4X contributed nothing different or differed from the other terminals, but it is able to “stand on its line” with future updates of Android smartphone.

On the other hand users have reported that their Honor 4X battery runs out earlier than normal. In almost 80% of the terminals reaches them update to Lollipop and battery decreases slightly, and it is normal. The Honor 4X was designed for Android 4.4 KitKat, and although it is able to go Lollipop fluid is normal if the battery suffers more than normal.

Emui was more “cons” that “pro’s” at the moment. We are not talking about whether it’s ugly or not, but anyway this new Emui 3.1 has not taken the step to Material Design, it has not been adapted to work with Lollipop. Still, Emui 3.1 contains features that would like to other firms; as the “Smart Screenshot”, sort of editor screenshots, “Lazy Mode”, which allows phone access points and other more comfortably, or an administrator of your device, which removes junk files, freeing RAM , etc.

In short, these two updates are very good news, firstly because it means that Huawei has not abandoned this terminal, and secondly because the Honor 4X has proved to be capable of adapting to a new version of Android even as a lower-middle range terminal.
