In this guide, we will tell you how to install the Android 10 Generic System image or GSI on Huawei honor 9. With this, you can enjoy Android 10 on your Honor 9. It is based on AOSP, which allows flashing Generic System Image on a device which is Project Treble compatible. So, those devices which are quite old in the market or discontinued can no longer receive the new Android OS update. However, with GSI image based on Android 10, they can experience all the features of Android 10.

We have put up the Android 10 GSI image for Honor 9 for which we want to credit XDA developer phhusson. Also, we have put up a detailed installation guide that will help you to flash the GSI image easily. Project Treble supported devices are usually the smartphones that have run Android 8.0 Oreo out-of-the-box or got a step up to it. So, check out how to install the Android 10 Update for Honor 9.
