Earlier this week, Huawei went on Twitter to confirm that the Huawei Y9 2019 will receive the Android 10 based EMUI 10, which arrives as great news for its users. Huwaei confirmed the update as a reply to a Twitter user that tweeted to Huawei asking about the update.

Previously, over 1,600 Huawei Y9 2019 had signed a petition for their handsets to receive the latest EMUI 10. Initially, Huawei had stated that “We regret to inform you that EMUI 10.0 / Android 10 will not be available for Huawei Y9 2019 due to hardware limitations, as it requires higher hardware specifications for optimal performance.” So, the latest post on Twitter contradicts this and doubles back on it.

Thank you for your message. The Huawei Y9 2019 will recieve the EMUI 10 update.
