EMUI 9.1 introduces a new EROFS (Extendable Read-Only File System) file system, to replace the F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System).
It promises to deliver better random read performance, and more storage space, through better file compression. In addition, its read-only design offers better protection for system files.

This new version of GPU Turbo now supports 25 of the most popular mobile games – up from just 6 games previously.

Availability : Only models with ToF camera, like the HUAWEI P30 Pro and HONOR View20
EMUI 9.1 adds a new AR Measure app, which lets you accurately measure length, total area and volume using your HUAWEI smartphone’s ToF camera.

EMUI 9.1 Feature #4 : HUAWEI OneTap Share

HUAWEI OneTap Share is an improved version of the HUAWEI Share app.

And it is fast – it takes only 35 seconds to send 1GB of data wirelessly to a different device or computer!
On top of that, it works as a quick game recording app. Just shake and touch your HUAWEI smartphone to your computer while you’re playing a game, and it will automatically record a 60-second video!
EMUI 9.1 Feature #5 : Improved HUAWEI Vlog
Availability : Only Mate series, P series, Nova 4 and Nova 3
