So finally, Huawei has released the new EMUI 9.1 for the P20 lite! In this thread I will be doing a full review of this update. This will include: performance, battery life, UI, bugs & other things.
1) Performance
Personally, I feel like the performance is terrible now. The phone boots up faster and gaming works smoother: PUBG Mobile used to run at like 15-20fps with some lag spikes here and there, now it runs at 30+fps without random lag spikes! These are the settings used: graphics = balanced, style = realistic. These are the highest settings we can use on the P20 lite, but since this works so well they might bump it up to HD settings. This is due to the new GPU Turbo update. There was one before, but this one makes bigger changes. I do feel like the RAM usage is higher, though. The system itself is actually very laggy and the camera is unresponsive.
Update: After updating to 9.1.0.200, the lag has finally been fixed!
2) Battery Life
The battery life is better too. On EMUI 8.0 I had ~8 hours of SoT, which has increased to ~10 hours! That means 2 hours better battery life, which is 25% more.
3) User Interface
The UI has also got an overhaul. The notification panel is now white instead of black, we got a new task manager, a new font on some places, rounded squared icons, new icons in settings, a new recovery & a new boot screen (only difference is the 'E' in the Huawei logo). I personally really like this, but this is ofcourse up to your personal preference. What I am missing here is a dark theme. Not all dark themes will work like they should, but I'll get back on it on the bugs section.
4) Bugs
So there's one small bug: the themes. Normally if you apply a theme your icons from the notification bar should change too. This isn't the case anymore. It's not the fault of the 9.1 update (it's been here since the November security patch), but Huawei told some people that it should be fixed in 9, which it clearly isn't. Here's an example: on this theme, before the November patch, the statusbar icons would be the same as on stock Android, which isn't the case anymore. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=emui.en.com.gpix2&hl=en_US it's not a big issue, but it can be annoying for some people (including me). Also the font colors don't change properly, this can be annoying for dark themes, because then you get black fonts on a black background, which you can barely read. Normally the fonts will change to a color depending on the theme.
5) Other things
One of the other changes is in the notch. Now, most apps actually stretch into the notch, instead of it having black bars next to it. Unfortunately, there's no option to change this, but some people including me actually prefer it like this.
If you have any questions about EMUI 9.1, just comment under this thread. Also I wanna say that you can find a lot of info about EMUI 9.1 on this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-lite/how-to/android-pie-update-status-huawei-t3836567
Edit 05-06-2019: There actually is a way to hide the notch for specific apps if you don't want it shown in fullscreen apps: Go to settings > display > show more options > notch > custom and hide notch for the apps you wanna hide it from. Sorry if the names are different, I translated it from my language to English.
about 5): it annoyed me seeing that problem especially in YouTube when the notch suddenly is in the way of 18:9 videos. One fix for it is if you go into the settings for the notch and black out the space around it. I don't think it looks as pretty but the video won't be intruded so it's a fix for me atleast

As I'm aware, it seems like Huawei phones with LCD displays don't have dark mode. Quite disappointing, hopefully they'll add it for us as well.

Pretty sure it wasn't 60fps. But as if it felt like 60fps. I'm pretty sure games on this chipset and on this display are maxed out at 30fps.

Perfomance
Using My phone with 4.4.2 for about 2 days,I must say the overall smoothness and fluidity as compared to 4.1.2 has been greatly improved. Stability of the system has been increased, no lag at all.. as far as the benchmarks goes, I have been getting low scores as compared to 4.1.2(samples in attachments)
Battery
You can say that Battery timing has been improved in kitkat, I managed to get almost 4 and a half hour of screen on time whereas on jellybean I usually got maximum 4 hours with the same usage(samples in attachments)
I think that the Camera has also improved..
One more thing Battery Gets charged quickly as compaed to 4.1 with same charger..
I have not yet rooted my phone or installed any thing to save battery and during testing ECO mode was not enabled.

https://ausdroid.net/2018/02/05/motorola-rolling-oreo-large-number-phones-today/
It's too good to be true. Just checked and nothing.
A news written with the a**! The incoming upgrade is for Moto X4, and this was already known. They mixed the original motorola news (https://blog.motorola.com/2017/09/14/say-hello-android-oreo/) with the fact that the upgrade for Moto X4 is released. For moto z2 play the soak are started 2 weeks ago in brasil. I hope I'm wrong but, again, it's a news written with the a**!
The updates changes promise twice improved battery life!
I notice it doesn't mention the "improvement" of changing the quick settings background from black to light grey.
As to its authenticity, I reckon that depends on whether or not you trust something called ausdroid.
This 1.1GB update introduces changes including the following:
Autofill your logins to favorite apps
Faster speeds, longer battery life and smart text selection
Picture-in-picture gives you a floating window letting you do more at the same time
Notification dots on your apps to alert you of something new
Google Play protect to keep you safe from malicious apps
Further improved battery life*

I can't imagine why anyone would prefer a white or light background. It hurts the eyes, especially in a darkened room and wastes battery life.

Personally, I'm looking forward to OREO because I believe it has implemented new file system management (SDCardFS), moving away from FUSE. From my experience on my Moto Z which received the OREO update earlier this year and from what I've read, the file date attributes are maintained with SDCardFS when you move/copy a file to your main storage, whereas with FUSE if you move/copied a file to the main storage, the file's date attributes changed to the date/time when you perform the move/copy.

BTW, no OREO update yet here in Canada for the Motot Z2 Play (xt1710-01) - still on the February 1, 2018 Security Patch.

Wow, I wish I knew what you are talking about. It sounds interesting!
So in the Samsung official s9 forum there are thread after threads of people complaining about the new 'downgrade' to Pie One Ui mainly about the camera features being removed,
Shutter button zoom removed
Separate Video and shutter buttons removed
Pro video settings removed
Selective focus is now useless (s9)
Selfie Camera default view is too close so effects all apps that use selfie camera.
The ugly iPhone look of the overall camera software.
Battery life is down quite a bit although I've been told that the may update fixes this at last.
There are a few other features missing or changed that i personally don't use.
I personally love the new ONEui especially combined with Samsungs one handed operation + app using gestures.
The weird thing is I'm not hearing any complaints in the s9 xda forums about the upgrade/downgrade to Pie.
Are you all happy with your phone's from Oreo to Pie ?
Personally I think they have lowered the quality of the camera to make their S10 phones look superior but that probs me having a tin hat moment
I had my S9 for all of about 2 hours - about the time it took to transfer from a screen-busted S8 to the replacement S9 a couple months ago - before the update to Pie occurred.
I've had no problems or issues with it. And I've had the S8 for just under a year and half so I went through its update from Nougat to Oreo.
I don't know what issues there are with "selective focus". It seems to work fine for me.
Now, I have disabled as much of Bixby as I can (deleted the Google app and removed that search bar too - completely useless for me). Changed the launcher to Nova Launcher which can remove those goofy rounded icon frames, using the BlackBerry Hub Suite of apps for all the IM stuff, even using the BlackBerry Virtual keyboard which I like better than the stock or any SwiftKey keyboard.
I honestly don't understand the complaints towards Pie. It's not all that different from Oreo, and I love the native dark theme.
I personally don't like the update to pie. Battery life is definitely worse, the wifi signal is worse (I tested it between the S5 and S7 and the S9 was the worst). I don't like the UI at all, reminds me of an iPhone. About the only thing I do like is the My files app. It's cleaner and easier to use and navigate.

You have nothing to compare it to then, Oreo was 100x better which is why people are a bit disappointed. And I have to say your setup sounds absolutely awful ?

You missed my line about having the S8 for almost a year and a half, during which time it updated from Nougat to Oreo. So, yes, I can definitely compare with Oreo, since I had it for about a year.
And, except for some shifting around of elements, I find it to be basically the same. I had no problems finding what I need anywhere within the revamped UI.
And, my setup works perfect for me and is absolutely wonderful. You can't say otherwise without trying it yourself
I know that features in camera like pro video, zoom using the shutter button, taking 3 pictures when setting a timer, motion panorama... are removed, but the ui isn't ugly, I actually liked it better than oreo.
Selective focus is a bit improved after software updates, but the blur effect isn't as stong as in oreo.
Battery life isn't too much worse, I think the first month I upgraded to one UI, it was very bad, but it has improved after learning my usage patterns...
Heat is noticeably improved since when I was on oreo my phone was a little too warm all the time, but now it's normal, even available RAM is higher, I have 1.4~1.6 GB free now, compared to 1~1.2 GB in oreo.
When it comes to animations, I find less frame drops with one UI. And I didn't experience any kind of major lag since I got the phone so no worries here.
The whole UI looks better for me, it's cleaner and easier to use, I've not changed any launcher, keyboard, or even themes, everything is stock. And I can safely say that one UI is overall better than oreo, unless you care about the missing camera features.
I am absolutely gutted about the camera software, but I do love the one UI and I just got the May update which is supposed to fix the battery problems.
I hate it that they removed the recent long press to multitask, i mean why would samsung remove such simple usefull feature?

No difference off the 1st full charge to 0.
See how it goes over the next few days and I'll post back.
I tell you what is annoying since the update, the adaptive brightness is just messing up constantly, so irritating.

Just go to settings>display>adaptive brightness and reset usage patterns. Then adjust it the way you want in each situation so it adapts to your adjustments...
This is the problem, it keeps cocking up, I reset usage and it's alright for a bit then it's drops to 0 brighteners so I move it to how I would like it and it'll be ok but then I go outside and the brightness doesn't increase so I adjust again for that and on we go because now auto brightness isn't doing anything and I'm constantly changing the brightness in the same brightness I've already set up, I reset again and all is ok for a while and then it starts again.
I'm going to wipe cache partition and reset brightness patterns and see how it goes.

Yes wiping cache might help, I personally enabled show control on top so I can quickly adjust the brightness manually to my liking.
Just got 5h35mins sot this time and brightness has sorted itself out, just need the original camera app back and I'll be happy ?

Sounds good. I hope May update will fix my battery life issues... Thanks for your answer.
My battery is just the same after may update. Absolute garbage
Just downloaded and installed OTA 10.3.3 on my Mi 9 SE.
Been looking forward to this update because I had read that the app drawer was being "enabled". The only thing I really hate about MIUI 10 is having my apps all over the place.
But.....I am seeing no settings for enabling the app drawer. I see I now have 2 grid size options but see no options for app drawer anywhere.
Anybody else have experience with this?
Can u please try permanent notifications? Thanks...
Downloading the update. Will post any new noticeable features here not mentioned in the changelog. :fingers-crossed:
No permanent notifications still, sad.
1080p 60 fps is enabled now.
The panorama selfie feature doesnt seem to work.
Phone feels a bit more responsive and fast.

Same, permanent notifications not working.
It's irritating because I love the hardware and the software is so close but just off enough to bother me a good bit. If I could get lineageOS on it, heaven. But I will wait. :*(
Ridiculous, still no permanent notifications...
I can't believe it.
I'm in 10.3.4.0 and the sistem has been destroyed, no root, locked bootloader ?
Just got the update from Verizon. what are the biggest changes to the latest Android version?

...for me randomised MAC address, better control Location permissions, Scoped storage but I'm not 100% sure if is enabled in Android 10, more polished OneUI... so far I like A10, don't like only new battery stats

fails to mention the up in pro mode iso to 3200 in the cam and 30 sec shutter vs 10 on android 9
Nice to know the camera got those cam speed and iso aditions, I am curious about the starage handling, as I previously read an article here in XDA that files created by any app would be available only for such app, the author saw this as a negative feature, I would like to see how that impacts overall file usage in real life now that android 10 is officially rolling out
The article does not mention what they crippled ...

There is nothing stopping you from summing it up for the audience.

I've seen you say this in two threads now. You should really tell people. What's this stuff they crippled?

Inquiring minds want to know. lol
External touchpads support is broken (both usb and bluetooth) - they don't work/gets recognized as mouse HID as it was on Android 9, currently more like some kind of touch input. Therefore mouse cursor acts strangely when using touchpads - it is way quicker in one plane (e.g. horizontal) than the other (e.g. vertical) which makes it usless.
The update does cripple support for Good Lock which is a huge drawback. You can no longer customize how many rows or columns appear in the quick settings. Many Pie themes are no longer working in 10. On the positive side, battery life has much improved with about 20% more battery at the end of the day. Certain apps such as Instagram will now switch to dark mode if you have it enabled systemwide. For those eagerly waiting, I'd say you're not missing out on much.

Every new version of Android on samsung starts without full support of every goodlock app. It will be the same thing for Android 11. They will update then eventually
One thing for me that kills the A10 update is being unable to Turn Off "Restrict Backgroud Data" on Power Saving Mode
I like to throttle the phone to stop losing battery as quick - Reduce Processor to 70% / AOD Off etc...
With the latest update they have removed the option to do this however when you activate it - It says be default that it is going to be switched on :/
Anybody faced the issue of KLWP not fully working after the update? I can set the wallpaper but the "click to launch app" does not work.

Thanks for this, I examined it.... My favorite was not described either, it is the "Smart Pop-Up View" - bubblehead type notifications for ANY APPS on your phone which when selected brings up said app in a tiny separate window!

That didn't come with Android 10 though. It's been there. Maybe it came to other devices on 10 but Samsung already had that feature.

HOLY Crap! You are absolutely correct! OMFG! Wish I had found that long ago!
I hate it when programmers change things just so it looks new and improved.
Zero-dark-thirty is NOT the time I want to discover that the snooze button on the alarm clock app has been "upgraded" and moved. Groggy/grumpy/sleepy self turned the alarm off this morning instead of just snoozing it.
Why do they keep effing with my snooze button?!?
