After parting ways with Huawei a little over a year ago, Honor went its own way that allowed it to bypass the veto that Google and other companies had on it. Thus, he was able to recover Google Play Services on his mobiles, in addition to starting to write his story alone.
During this year of independence, Honor launched a lot of phones on the market (although only a few arrived in Spain). However, Android 12 was also introduced and Honor had to prepare to update its devices alone for the first time. Luckily, some of them already have this version of Android, but what about the rest? Many will get their update dose. Do you want to know the details? Well stay, because this is the list of all Honor that will update to Android 12 .
Android 12 will arrive at the Honor throughout 2022
Since the departure of the View 40 (the first after the separation), Honor has launched almost 30 phones on the market, divided into its V, X, Magic, Play and numbered series (which is the main one).
Unlike the Honor Magic V and Magic 4 (which have Android 12 as standard), most came out of the oven with Android 11, so they are waiting for an update to Android 12 and Magic UI 6 . However, not everyone will have the joy of making the leap, although a good number of them will.
How do we know? Because Honor recently announced its roadmap to update to Magic UI 6 under Android 12. The company will provide 13 of its devices with this version of Android during 2022 , although it will do so in stages: a first batch will receive Android 12 during Q1 , another during Q2 and the rest throughout Q3. What devices are on the list? The following:
They will update during Q1 2022:
- Honor Magic 3 Pro +.
- Honor Magic 3 Pro.
- Honor Magic 3.
They will update during Q2 2022:
- Honor 50 Pro.
- Honor 50.
- Honor 60 Pro.
- Honor 60.
They will update to Android 12 in Q3 2022:
- Honor 50 SE.
- Honor 50 Lite.
- Honor V40 Duo.
- Honor X30.
- Honor X30i.
- Honor X20.
For how many years will Honor update its phones?
With Google and Samsung updating Android for 4 years, as well as POCO thinking about increasing the years of support and updates for their mobiles, it is quite clear that we are on the wave of extended support.
This will surely lead you to ask yourself: will Honor join this new fashion that benefits users so much? We would like to say yes, but the truth is that we do not know . Historically, this has not been the case, since Honor updated its phones a couple of times at most in the Huawei era.
However, this could change now that they have become independent, but we will have to wait to see it. The good? At least we know they ‘re not abandoning their devices after launch , and the proof is this article. Can you imagine an Honor 60 with Android 14 or 15? It would be great if it happened, but nothing is written.
