Faster and Better Performance

It's the small things that count. To improve the user experience with the interface, app icons have been revamped to be more realistic, and their borders have been defined to increase readability.

The new EMUI 9.1/Magic UI 2.1 theme also features a set of beautiful wallpapers to give HONOR phones a brand-new look. The wallpapers capture the in-the-moment beauty of color collision and fluttering silk that gives the phone its visual spectacle.
