As expected, now that Android 4.4 KitKat is official, manufacturers are starting to reveal their plans to upgrade devices to this latest version of Android. For example, both HTC and Motorola have announced theirs already. The latest to do so is Huawei which this week confirmed that it will upgrade the ultra-slim Ascend P6, currently on Android 4.2.2, in January.
In doing so, Huawei will skip the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean release completely. The upgrade will also include a new version of its Emotion user interface.
The announcement was made in China through Weibo. It is unclear whether this applies to China only or will be a global rollout. Let’s hope it’s the latter as WIND Mobile just launched the Huawei Ascend P6 in Canada.
It remains to be seen if Huawei will upgrade other recent devices such as its 6.1-inch Ascend Mate phablet which is also offered by WIND Mobile.
