Huawei has been slowly rolling out the latest version of its OS to the Mate 20 series, and now it has announced plans for it to release EMUI 9.1 to a slew of other Huawei and Honor smartphones too. The list is extensive and stretches as far back as former flagships like the Mate 9.
Chinese Tech Android Charts Smartphone

Huawei has announced that it will release EMUI 9.1 to 49 devices over the coming months.
