Ascend P6 users are waiting since January to get their dose of Android kitkat. Huawei initially promised to deliver the update in January but we are long past that now. However in end of January we got a leaked Android 4.4 Emotion UI 2.3 firmware for the Ascend P6 – http://huaweinews.com/2014/01/android-4-4-beta-ascend-p6/. Apart from that single leak we weren’t able to get anything until now. After all these push backs we are receiving reports that Huawei is now sending the official Android 4.4 Emotion UI 2.0 update to the China Mobile Ascend P6-T00 owners in China.
Its still unclear what happened to the Emotion UI2.3 skin but it looks like Huawei has abandoned the plans for EMUI2.3 for now because of the delays in development. There aren’t any huge differences between Emotion UI 2.0 and 2.3 so even though Huawei is pushing EMUI 2.0, we guess users will be happier because the base Android version is Android 4.4.2 KitKat. Unfortunately China Mobile network is CDMA based and those firmwares aren’t compatible with the international Ascend P6-U06. If Huawei decides to make this update available for the China Telecom Ascend P6 owners you will be install that firmware on your international Ascend P6 without any compatibility problems.
Initial adopters of this new firmware, reported that the update went smoothly without any issues and for the moment they haven’t found any problems with the functions as well. You can find some screenshots above and we guess the update will be available for the China Telecom model within few days as well. Keep reading HuaweiNews and we will keep you updated!

I think its not official. Beta testers got OTA update only.
I think so too. Why would they release an official ota update so soon after they released a new beta update?
And the p6 users need waiting a year for a international firmware like P1???
ELHAMDULILA
Finally it was started.. the official kitkat for P6! so excited!!
want Official Firmware only
EmUi 2.0 is somewhere out the 4.4 update?
I got B125 international an it´s with Emotion UI 1.6.
Of the contract would leave the p6 4.4 kitkat January.
Current in March, then why does it take so long for this.
Ssi to be able to follow the contract. And ask for it to be official.
gid damn huawei , i have waited such a long time for an official upgrade for ascend mate at least 4.2 but they have focused on p6 and others but nothing for mate !

Pah P6 is not a flagship… No LTE you clowns, but then again you guys are lucky…Huawei Ascend P2 (The fastest mobile in the world in 2013 – Cat 4 150 mbps) is in Hell.
No Emotion UI update.
No KitKat
No 4g (3.6 G more like)
Its like a 2 year sentence, erm I mean contract with 3 UK telecom.
And what about huawei p2???
It’s lame.They throw a bone in november that kitkat is comming in january.Than when january comes, they say, soon, than another bone is thrown in the end of january, called kitkat beta(so that they can say in their defence, look we gave you kitkat, didn’t we) but only for china, then, february comes and goes, and they say, ok in march….march is here, china is getting kitkat, but rest of the world is out of the game, but if you say to them that they lied, they will tell you-look, there is kitkat…but just for china…but it’s there…
Totally agree!
Having lte on your phone doesnt mean its the flagship.:) oh yeah we have kitkat now. Oops
I have a P6 ..and really waiting since last November ..hopefully ..this march Huawei will come true for its committment …other wise i was about to jump from for a samsung S5 ..lets see how true is Huawei words for UAE region …& its when …?
May be Huwaei is making nice and quite good HW but the SW is s..t. And HW without SW is useless. Damn Huawei. If the JB would have been fine tuned and working well I would not wait for Kitkat with anticipation but the damn JB is peace of crap. I mean JB from Huawei.
Never ever Huawei!!!
what about UAE region update for kitkat4.4 … P6 ? ? ?

HiSuite updated to 1.8.10.2606, but android 4.4 KitKat still no!
And for the others?for us that have ascend p6 and live out of china!!!!apple and samsung when they launch a new uodate is for all and not like huawei only for china!!!!

This is very bad for a company like huawei that not a famous company in mobile market we trust Chinaes and bought this phone and they updated only there own mobile phones shame on you huawei this p6 is the last huawei phone i have bought cuse of bad software supporting.i hate Huawei i wested my money
You could use different point of view… Huawei uses your chinese customers as big “beta testers” team, before launch international updates… In fact, Huawei continues launching JB updates, plus and plus polished, to international market, until they solves KK problems, testing in domestic market instead of international market .
As Huawei customer, I’m thinking that my investment is more protected… for now.
huawei sucks……. layer……… now half march had gone and internationaly kitkat 4.4 for ascend p6 u06 cannot bhe release…… really sucks huawei………

i have stopped buying Huawei mobiles as they are not true to their committments .. they announced that they will upgrade P6 for kitkat 4.4 since Last year nov 2013 ..But still nothing happened …so buy branded mobiles which are true to the customers with their committments.
i regret the day i bought this huawei
hello huawei, what happen about update for P6 .. internationally it will happen or its just a fake news since last year we are waiting November 2013 .. i really hate Huawei words …
It’s really to know that Huawei don’t care about their international user , I have waiting over a year now to get an upgrade yet the folks in China already been upgraded
