Huawei has finally started rolling out the much-awaited Android 6.0 Marshmallow update to its P8 Lite smartphone that was released last year. The firmware update comes to the device in Europe a few months after the Huawei Honor 7 received it.
The company has announced on its Polish fan page that Android 6.0 Marshmallow update has been rolled out to the P8 Lite via OTA (over-the-air) and the file weighs 1.5GB, reported GSM Arena. It went on to say that the firmware update will come to the unlocked versions first before carriers start seeding it.
