Well, we regret it, but there’s a piece of bad news for the users of these devices. According to reports, Huawei doesn’t include these devices in its eligibility criteria for Android 12 Harmony OS 2.0. It is not because they aren’t capable enough to run the Android 12 update, but the reason is these devices already get some major updates.

However, according to Huawei update policy, they claim that their developer team will provide two major updates for their premium segments, whereas the budgets range smartphones bags only one major update, and we all know that these devices come with Android 10 out of the box except Huawei 7P. This device comes with Android 9 (Pie).

But, in case you really want to use the Android 12 update on your Huawei Y5p, Y6p, Y7p, and Y8p, then you should wait for some time because as soon as Google launches the Android 12 stable version for the general public, there are many Custom ROM developers like LineageOS.
