Just a week after launching in India, the Huawei Y9 Prime (2019) is receiving a new update that brings EMUI 9.1.
EMUI 9.1 boasts features like GPU Turbo 3.0 and the new EROFS file system which allows apps to load faster. The EROFS file system replaces the F2FS file system and it brings a 20% increase in random read speed and even leaves you with more space on your device.
GPU Turbo 3.0 brings support for 25 of the most popular games. It also reduces the power consumption of the processor by 10%.
EMUI 9.1 also brings Huawei Phone Clone which allows you to easily copy your files from your old phone to your new Huawei phone in moments. There are also new wallpapers and app icons, so your phone should also loom different.
The update is rolling out in India already which is a bit surprising since the phone is just going on sale today (offline sales is August 10). So if you are one of those who already picked up this phone, you should get the update after initial setup or over the next couple of days.
The update should also begin to arrive on the phone in other markets like Nigeria. So if you are outside India, you may want to check for the update too.
The Huawei Y9 Prime (2019) is one of the few Huawei phones with a pop-up selfie camera. It has a 6.59-inch FHD+ display that covers nearly the entire front and is devoid of a notch or a punch hole. There is a Kirin 710F processor under the hood that is paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage.
The Y9 Prime (2019) has a 16MP pop-up selfie camera and triple rear cameras which has another 16MP camera paired with an 8MP ultrawide angle camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. It also has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, Dual SIM support, an audio jack, and a 4000mAh battery that charges via USB-C.
