Battle of UIs: Honor EMUI 3.1 Android 5.0 Vs Stock Version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Android 6.0 Vs Emotion UI 3.1

Ever heard about a battle of UIs and features? Nope. Well after reading this you will definitely change your answer.

techhoodoo.com in collaboration with Tind Graphics brings to you the battle of Huawei Honor EMUI 3.1 and Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Have a look at this extensive and exclusive comparison between the two of them.

You would be surprised to know that major updates of Android 6.0 Marshmallow were already present in EMUI 2.3 (Kitkat) of Honor. For those who don't know Google has already released 2 more versions i.e. Lollipop and Marshmallow after Kitkat.

Volume Controls

As I stated above the new panel for volume control in Marshmallow was already present in EMUI 2.3 (Kitkat) of Honor. We could very easily adjust volume for different features like alarm and music in Honor. Surprised? Wait for most interesting revelation.

New Text Selection Tool

Google finally listened to its users and brought an easy to use text selection tool in Marshmallow. Well for Google it might be a major improvement but for Honor users, it had been there for ages. Literally ages. Buckle up Google.

UI Tuner

Previous versions of stock android never gave us this convenience of tweaking the notifications tray. But now after Lollipop, we got our hands on this feature as well. In addition, to this we can also add custom shortcuts of different apps in Honor EMUI 2.3 and 3.1 as well.

Do Not Disturb

Just like Apple introduced new features similar to Android, Google too introduced similar features of ios. Do not disturb is one such feature which was introduced late in Android. Over the time, this feature has improved but it's still not at its best. In Marshmallow, we are having this dnd but its rules are automatic. We cannot tweak its settings. In Honor EMUI 3.1 we can change settings of dnd as well. Have a look for yourself.

Doze

Doze feature of Marshmallow puts apps into sleep mode when a device is not in use or kept in standby mode. The operating system automatically selects apps to put on sleep mode. In EMUI 3.1 of Honor, we can select the apps which we want to put on sleep mode. This again is very advantageous for the users.

Micro SD as internal storage

Those who have used budget segment smartphones must be knowing the pain of having less internal memory of 4Gb or 8Gb. Previously we were not able to use external SD card to expand our internal storage but now we can. Honor users have been using this feature for quite some time now by changing their default storage location to SD card. Android Marshmallow users can now use this feature by setting up buffalo USB drive in their handsets So no more nagging about less internal memory now.

Reverse Charging

This is the most important revelation and most interesting feature of Marshmallow and Honor EMUI. Many android users do not even have any hint that a feature like this exists. Do you?

Android Marshmallow and Honor 7 comes with this feature. It works because of USB Type-C integration in Android Marshmallow and all its future releases. USB Type-C is new reversible USB format which brings enhanced data transfer and charging speeds. Unlike others, Honor 7 supports this feature and is future ready.
