If you are an Ascend Mate 2 owner you might have already heard this by now. But in case if you haven’t, Huawei USA announced that the Ascend Mate 2 will be updated to Android Lollipop in near future. This announcement comes probably because of the huge backslash from Android community resulted after announcing that Ascend Mate 2 won’t even be getting Android KitKat as we wrote here – http://huaweinews.com/2014/10/ascend-mate-2-kitkat/.
Huawei is trying to build a better image in US market and it would be a disaster for them to leave less than a year old Ascend Mate 2 with years old Android 4.3. Huawei must have felt that they have taken the wrong decision and we are happy because they have finally doing something to make it right for the consumers.
Huawei has wrote a blog post on gethuawei.com official US blog announcing this update. They have mentioned that Ascend Mate 2 will be directly updated to Android 5 Lollipop from Android jellybean without jumping to Android 4.4 KitKat.
- “In light of your feedback, we have reassessed our upgrade strategy. We take our customers’ feedback seriously and want to ensure they have the best experience possible with the Mate2. The Mate 2 upgrade will go from the current JellyBean directly to Lollipop.” – Huawei (gethuawei.com)
The update is set to be available on the first half of next year so don’t really hope it to be available in the first quarter. Eventhough if its going to be really late, at least you will be getting it right?

What about other mobile devices of HUAWEI ?
this comes from Huawei USA. They aren’t selling many models at the moment so currently Lollipop is announced only for Ascend Mate 2

I own an Ascend Mate 1, my experience with the smartphone is good, love at first sight, just sublime! What I hate about Huawei is the limited support offered by the Ascend Mate one community; I have no one years with the apparatus and has presented software level fault. Should already be in 4.4.4 kitkat about to leap along with all brands lollipop 5.0, and what the little that we provide is an update EMUI layer 2.3 to 3.0 EMUI? Does our community Ascend Mate 1 does not count as consumers HUAWEI brand? Are we less or no? I want answers from Huawei, because I made the claim through all possible channels and I am disappointed brand, in spite of my smartphone is wonderful … Why yes P6 and Ascend Mate no? I WANT TO ANDROID 5.0 LOLLIPOP TOO!!!
