Although we were aware of rumors that the Mate 7 would be updated directly to Android 5.1 Lollipop, at first it seemed that there were still weeks until the final arrival of the update. But, luckily for users, the Huawei Ascend Mate 7 has just started to update to the version of Android 5.1 Lollipop, and Spain is one of the countries in which this update is being distributed right now. The file that Huawei is distributing occupies 0.88 GigaBytes, and brings with it both the Android 5.1 version of the Androi d operating system and the EMUI 3.1 version.of the EMUI customization layer.
The Android 5.1 Lollipop update that Huawei has begun to distribute is aimed at the MT7-L09 variant of the Mate 7 (that is, the European version), and the file under which it is reaching users responds to the MT7 numbering- L09-C900B308. In addition to the official news of the Android 5.1 version, this update should bring with it a layer of customization with a slightly renewed design, and the changes should coincide with what we could see in the leaked video of the Android 5.1 update of the Mate 7 that appeared a few hours ago.
The news that Huawei mentions in the official list of changes for the Android 5.1 Lollipop update of the Mate 7 include a new mini- screen view for one-handed use, an option to hide applications, notifications on the lock screen, an option to autounlock to detecting a particular Bluetooth network, new sequence mode to create videos and new features in the Gallery.
The distribution of this version will probably be distributed gradually throughout the world, so that users who want to update their Mate 7 to Android 5.1 Lollipop only have to be aware of the notice that they will see in the notification center once the file is available for download. This check can also be done manually, and to do this, follow these steps:
- We enter the Settings application of our Mate 7.
- Next, we enter the " Updater " section.
- Click on the option " Check for updates " and wait for the mobile to check if Android 5.1 is already available for download. In the event that it is already available, click on the " Download and install " button and follow the instructions that we will see on the screen.
Huawei, as revealed by the leaked calendar with the dates of this manufacturer's Lollipop updates, still has a wide repertoire of mobiles ahead of them that are pending to be updated to Lollipop (especially if we also take into account the Honor catalog). In this calendar it was ensured that the Mate 7 would be updated to Lollipop from the month of May, while the Huawei Ascend P7 would supposedly be updated to Lollipop together with the Huawei Ascend Mate 2 from the month of June. Of course, this calendar was never confirmed by Huawei.
