Honor 6X EMUI 5.0 walkthrough
EMUI 5.0 is Huawei's biggest update in recent years. Huawei has been making great hardware for several years now, but the software was always the main drawback. Earlier versions of EMUI were primarily designed for Chinese users, and as such they didn't translate well in Western markets.

It's...
