Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design EMUI 9.1 update arrives

Chinese tech giant Huawei launched the flagship Mate RS Porsche Design last year in partnership with the renowned sports car manufacturer, Porsche. The splendid design of the device caught attention of tech enthusiasts all over the world.

Along with a great design, the phone also packs some great under-the-hood specs, like the Kirin 970 processor, 4000 mAh battery, 22.5W fast charge, and yes, a whopping price tag of $1,279 too.

Just like other Huawei phones, Mate RS Porsche Design has also been getting regular Android security updates since arrival, however, it awaits the latest EMUI 9.1 (Android Pie-based).

As we highlighted in a recent coverage, among the Mate series, Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, Mate 10 Porsche Design and Mate RS Porsche Design were in pipeline for EMUI 9.1. While Mate 10 and its Pro edition got the experience EMUI 9.1 recently, both Porsche Design devices were kept gawking.

But that changes now, as EMUI 9.1 is reportedly hitting the Mate RS Porsche Design units.

The all-new Mate RS Porsche Design EMUI 9.1 update weighs 3.73GB and bumps the version from 9.0.0.233 to 9.1.0.310. The update brings the July security patch along with the usual EMUI 9.1 features, including GPU Turbo 3.0, EROFS technology, Huawei Vlog, Share OneHop & a revamped UI.

For a quick look, here’s what the complete update changelog states, followed by some images of the same:
