Huawei launched the China-exclusive HUAWEI nova 2s affordable flagship smartphone in December 2017. The handset debuted with EMUI 8.0 based on Android 8.0 Oreo. But unfortunately, it only received a single major update in the form of EMUI 9.0/EMUI 9.1 based on Android 9.0 Pie. However, the company continued to release minor service updates every now and then. In fact, the device is currently receiving a new system update almost three and a half years after its debut.

Huawei is rolling out a new system update for the  HUAWEI nova 2s. The latest update arrives with build number EMUI 9.1.0.226. The update is available for all two variants of the phone (AL00, TL00).

Despite featuring the same build number, the new update comes with a different changelog for the two versions of the handset. Talking about common changes first, the latest system update adds smart message settings, a hot recommendation folder, and a quick download icon for Education Center as well as Link Now application.

Additionally, the update brings UC Browser to the AL00 model and QQ Browser to the TL00 variant. Lastly, the update also comes with optimizations for the pre-installed WPS Office on the TL00 version.

That said, like any other OTA system update, the EMUI 9.1.0.226 update for the HUAWEI nova 2s is also being rolled out in batches. Therefore, it may take some time to reach every unit.
