EMUI 9.1 update bears build number 9.1.0.300 (C636E3R2P1) and weighs about 4GB. Here’s a user shared image of the update changelog on Honor Mate 20 X:

Apart from Huawei Mate 20 X, Mate 20 Pro is also receiving EMUI 9.1. Mate 20 Pro is part of the OEM’s Mate 20 series, but has a 6.3 inches display screen instead.
