Among the enlisted devices, only Huawei Y9 Prime (2019) – the OEM’s first ever pop-up selfie camera phone – is the one waiting, as EMUI 9.1 has already landed on rest of the phones. Y9 Prime (2019) was launched in India few days back, and is scheduled for its first sale which starts in a few hours.
As for tech-specs, Y9 Prime (2019) is a mid-ranger fueled with Hisilicon Kirin 710F SoC, and comes with Android Pie layered with EMUI 9.0. The phone comes in 4GB RAM+ 64GB/128GB storage variants, and sports a triple camera setup at the back with 16MP + 8MP + 2MP sensors.

Thank you for your interest in EMUI 9.1, we would like to inform you that we have already started rolling out the new Android Pie update with EMUI 9.1 in batches.
Considering, it’s EMUI 9.1, it should brings along the usual goodies like GPU Turbo 3.0, EROFS support, Huawei Vlog, Huawei Share OneHop along side a revamped UI. Sadly, we haven’t yet got hands on the complete changelog. But we’re in a look out for it.
As is usually the case with updates, they are pushed out in batches, and EMUI 9.1 being no exception will follow this unofficial norm. Therefore, EMUI 9.1 may take time to make it to all Y9 Prime 2019 units. So hang in tight, as you may get to see the update notification sometime soon.
