London, United Kingdom – 25 June 2019 – Huawei, a global technology leader, today announced that EMUI 9.1, Huawei’s latest custom operating system based on Android Pie, will roll out to a range of Huawei devices starting mid-July; enabling a faster, easier and more secure user experience for thousands of Huawei smartphone customers. Huawei will also continue to provide ongoing Android services and security updates to ensure that all Huawei customers enjoy the best possible experience on their Huawei smartphone. 

“We have long been committed to continuously innovating the user experience by consistently contributing to open Android innovation. In line with this we set out to develop EMUI 9.1 providing consumers with an even more enjoyable, uncomplicated and secure user experience,” said Walter Ji, President of Huawei Western Europe, Consumer Business Group."

Ji continues, “We initially launched EMUI 9.1 on our latest smartphone device - the P30 series, to great customer feedback. Recognising the benefit that all our customers could gain from this more responsive and faster system, we are committed to ensuring that EMUI 9.1 will now roll out on other devices in our portfolio.”
