However, in a recent development in this regard and good news for Huawei phone users, Huawei’s South African branch has recently confirmed five more devices will enjoy Android-based EMUI 9.1 update starting from July. The flagship devices of world’s second-largest phone maker that are getting the latest firmware update include Huawei P20, P20 Pro, Huawei Mate 10 Pro, Huawei Mate 10 Porsche Design and Mate RS Porsche Design.
