Huawei had recently started sending out Android 6.0 Marshmallow update to the Honor 7, the company has uploaded the Andorid 6.0 Marshmallow update file on their official website for their second device, the Honor 4C which is quite a surprise as other devices like the Honor 5X and the 4C’s elder sibling Honor 4X still running on Android 5.1 Lollipop OS.
