Download Android 7.0 Nougat for Huawei P9 Lite with official EMUI 5.0

Huawei has been rolling out the EMUI 5.0 firmware update based on Android 7.0 Nougat for some of its current and former flagship phones including the Honor 8 and Huawei P9.ย Now, the manufacturer has released aย similar update to the Huawei P9 Lite as well. Although the Nougat update is a Beta firmware build, it has a lot of attention among P9 Lite users. It comes with a revamped UX, new notification features, bundled notifications, new Doze Mode, and of course the Android version 7.0 as well.

We have seen similar beta firmware for Honor 8, Huawei P9ย and also from other smartphone manufacturers likeย Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge,ย LG G5, OnePlus 3, Sony Xperia X/Z3 andย much more. Earlier this year we spotted the firstย EMUI 5.0 for the Huawei P9ย variants and Mate 8. But that wasnโ€™t based on the Nougat OS. With this Android Nougat 7.0 Beta firmware for Huawei P9 Lite, you can be an early tester and run the latest OS before the official release.

The Nougat OTA comes to us officially from Huawei servers. The Android 7.0 Beta version is named update.zip and the installation procedure has been listed below. You may also install the firmware directly through TWRP recovery withย an unlocked bootloader device just like the Huawei P9 Nougat Beta update. However, you should take a Nandroid backup before you proceed. As a safe option, follow the instructions below.

Update:ย Android 7.0 Nougat EMUI 5.0 for more P9 Lite variants now available including VNS-L31/L21/L11/L23 C432B329. Moreover, bugs or errors have been fixed in B328 firmware.

If you already have a rooted device, first you will need to unroot. Go to SuperSU app and hit full unroot from there.

The Nougat Beta update is may be missing some stock EMUI 5.0 apps from Huawei.ย You can install the apps separately as well.
