Honor Play 3e (EMUI 9.1) grabs February 2022 security improvements

Honor has started to roll out February 2022 EMUI security update for its one of the oldest smartphones – Honor Play 3e running EMUI 9.1. The February 2022 security update for Honor Play 3e comes with EMUI version 9.1.0.206 upgrading from EMUI 9.1.0.202. This update is currently rolling out in China and expanding gradually among consumers of the corresponding model KSA-AL10.

Aside from the security patch, the update doesn’t mention any other changes in the changelog of this firmware rollout. However, you should note that the phone is still running EMUI 9.1 which should have been upgraded to HarmonyOS 2.0 operating system.

How to update:

Despite all of the assumptions, Honor Play 3e users can download the latest firmware by visiting Settings > System > Software updates > then follow the on-screen instructions. This will fetch down the available software update and downloaded it directly on your device.

Still, there are some precautions that you need to keep while downloading this software update. First, you need to make sure that the device is not rooted, second, the update won’t delete any of your phone’s files but it’s recommended to create a backup of important data for such mishappenings.

The entire update procedure may take some time, so, let the phone do the process and sit easy. To be mentioned, the upgrade procedure may cause random heat, fast power consumption, a freeze of slow charging. Thereafter, the system will start to settle down for regular use cases once the update is completed.
