Huawei is rolled out the EMUI 9.1 update for the Honor 10 Lite and Honor 20i phones. The update brings GPU Turbo 3.0, the ability to set up video ringtones for select contacts, and the ability to trigger the voice assistant by long pressing the power button. The EMUI 9.1 update is currently rolling out in China, but should make its way to other regions soon. It is rolling out over-the-air (OTA) and users should check manually for an update in the Settings menu if you haven't received a notification as of yet.

As the post suggests, the EMUI 9.1 update brings GPU Turbo 3.0 for faster processing and intense gaming sessions. There's also the addition to set up video ringtones for specific contacts, which means a video will play if a certain contact happens to call you anytime. There's also the ability to activate the voice assistant if you long press the power button.
