As far as the improvements and changes are concerned, the Android Nougat update to the Honor 6X will bring quite a number of interface tweaks and refreshes in the app drawer. Not only that, it might also come packed with several other transformations to the app cards, multiple account support, contact QR codes sharing and several more.

Well, this being said, it should be noted that Huawei hasn't released any official statement on the tweaks that the Android Nougat update might bring to Honor 6X. Along with that, whether the software update will hit India anytime soon, is a big question that remains unanswered as of yet.
