Happy New Year, everyone!

What are the current OS and security patch versions on the Honor 7X?

Happy New Year to you, too!

According to GSM Arena, the Honor 7X ships with Android 7.0 (Nougat) out of the box; with a Kirin 659 processor. Not sure about its security patch, however.

Your phone was purchased online, I'm assuming (ie, from Honor or Amazon)?

Did you buy the US version or an international version? Regional differences could play a role in the rollout of software and security updates.

I purchased 7x from Amazon India. It is Indian retail version.

Just ordered a US Honor 7x to play with. Should be here by the end of the week. I'll report what version I end up getting. From my research online there appears to be different versions of software depending on what region your phone is in.

I got two 7x purchased from Honor USA official online store. Both came with Nougat 7.0 and November 6 security patch

That should update to the December patch immediately (at least mine did).

Mine just says there's no updates.
Not sure if that's the reason, by mine don't have SIM cards yet.
