HUAWEI is bringing EMUI 9.1 to almost 50 devices
August 16, 2025
Huawei’sEMUIis one of the more divisive Android skins out there, owing to the company’s extensive tweaks. EMUI 9.1 is currently available on theHUAWEI P30series, but the company has since revealed a comprehensive list of devices set to get the new update.
According to a post by the firm’sEMUI Weibo account(spotted byXDA-Developers), HUAWEI plans to bring EMUI 9.1 to a total of 49 devices. The beta version is currently available on theMate 20,Mate 20 Pro,Mate 20X, and Mate 20 RS, while the final version is on the P30 trio. But what about the other devices?
HUAWEI is actively testing the update on the following devices, according to the Weibo post andXDA:
The Chinese manufacturer also plans to upgrade the following models to EMUI 9.1:
It’s a pretty comprehensive list of supported phones and tablets, but it seems like a few devices are missing at first glance. Names like theHUAWEI P Smartseries, the P20 Lite, andP10 Lite, andP8 Lite 2017are curiously absent.
However, HUAWEI’s nonsensical naming scheme means the P20 Lite is the Nova 3e in some locations, while the P Smart is the Enjoy 7s, the P10 Lite is the Enjoy Youth, and the P8 Lite 2017 is also known as the HONOR 8 Lite, Nova Lite, and GR3. As the Nova 3e and P Smart are on the list, there’s still a good chance P20 Lite and P Smart owners will also receive EMUI 9.1. This is a Chinese listing after all, so the English-language listing could reflect these changes.
Similarly, many HUAWEI Y series devices seem to be missing from the list too. But once again, this could be due to the fact that we’re looking at a region-specific list. Still, between theMate 9 series,P10 duo, andHONOR 7X, we’re glad to see the company focus on older devices too.
As for EMUI 9.1 features, HUAWEI is promising a new file system, GPU Turbo 3.0,Google Assistantactivation via the power button, and tweaked fitness features. Is your phone missing from the list? Let us know in the comments!
