Update 1 (6/24/19 @ 9:40 AM ET): Huawei’s EMUI 9.1 update timeline for the first 19 devices on the list has been announced.

EMUI 9.1 is the latest update to Huawei’s OS based on Android Pie. While Huawei has not disclosed a clear changelog between EMUI 9.1 and EMUI 9, the new update brings features like improvements to the GPU Turbo mode, incoming call videos for contacts, optimizations for HiVoice, triggering voice assistants through a long press on the power button, improvements to PC continuity and more changes varying on a per device model basis.

EMUI 9.1 was launched with the Huawei P30 Pro, and the update has begun rolling out to the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Huawei Mate 20 X. Now, through a Weibo post, Huawei has listed out 49 devices which are expected to receive this update.
