If you have a Huawei Honor 7, one of the most attractive phones that were launched in 2015, there is an interesting news that you should know: an update of the operating system of this device has begun to be deployed that includes everything from bug fixes to an increase in security that this offers. Therefore, we are talking about an iteration that is highly recommended to use.
One of the things that must be taken into account about the new firmware, which occupies 111 MB, so it is advisable to download it while connected to a WiFi network, is that it does not jump to a new Android version. In this way, it remains in the 5.0.1 and what has been refined is waiting for the arrival of marshmallow, something that is not very far. Therefore, no work has been done on taking a jump.
One of the novelties that are included in the new ROM is an increase in security since some of the existing holes in the EMUI customization that it includes have been solved and, especially, the solution against the vulnerability stands out stagefright, one of the most dangerous that has been detected in Android in recent times. With this alone, it is worth installing the firmware (which is specifically the PLK-L011C432B170), but there are actually more news.
Other improvements for the Huawei Honor 7
Waiting to check if the autonomy of the device has improved, something that takes longer to know, there are some solutions that have been incorporated for the Huawei Honor 7. For example, some of the translations that exist in the operating system are they have improved and are now much more accurate. In addition, and this is important, it has fixed the problem of duplicate notifications when a message or email arrives. This the users of the Huawei Honor 7, as is my case, or thank you very much.
Regarding the performance of the Huawei Honor 7, a model that has an eight-core processor and that integrates 3 GB, I have detected that its operation has been optimized. Thus, the opening of applications is clearly faster and, even, everything that has to do with the camera runs much more fluid. In addition, as indicated in the update communication (which arrives via OTA), the sound quality in calls is much better.
