Honor Android 12 Update Tracker
Ever since Google announced that it would launch Android 12 for the public soon, since then, users are getting curious about if their device is eligible for this OEM update or not. Meanwhile, it has been now more than a year since Huawei got affected due to an ongoing trade war between the US and China. Even after the government changed in the USA, Google is still cutting ties with the company as the ban imposed by Trump is extended to May 2021. As a result, the parent company made its own OS, so-called HarmonyOS. But, back in 2020, Huawei officially breaks its ties with Honor and sells it to Shenzhen Zhixin New Information Technology Co. Ltd. So, Honor is an independent brand.
Well, Honor users, there’s a couple of good news coming out from the official that surely you wanna hear.

But, currently, the possibilities for Honor to get a business with Google. And start receiving Google Mobile Services (GMS) in the future is more.
This is because Honor has separated from Huawei which gives it access to GMS and more without the hassle of waiting for Huawei ban to be lifted. With that being said, Honor has finally released its Android 12-powered version with a new UI called the MagicUI 6.0 that gives you a lot to praise. In fact, Honor launched its Android 12-powered MagicUI 6.0 roadmap that it will follow for months to come as well.
