EMUI 5.1 has little improvements over 5.
I'm actually digging EMUI now. It has grown in me.
I'm coming from a 'stock' android experience with Motorola phones then custom ROMs that still looks like stock android but with lots of extra features and customization. My first emui experience was emui 5 in the Honor 8, didn't like the launcher so I replaced it with Nova.
Honestly I think emui 5 feels like the custom ROM experience (aosp). It performs as smooth as stock android but you get extra features that enhance the usage.
Did you know that using stock gallery we can have picture in picture mode like Oreo? Open a video using gallery, tap on the window icon and you'll get to home screen with video still running and you can move the video window around.
The present iteration of EMUI is actually much better than the past versions.
Of course. It will go better and better.
i'd like it better if i could get stock icons and settings back, as no matter what they look pretty crap and even in themes they look like utter s***e.
Good experience. I'm satisfied.
Really impressed and like emui 5..haven't tried emui 8 yet.
Honor 9 runs EMUI which is no the best OEM software. It is hard to compete with the speed of the more stock OEM UIs out there.

Not as fast here versus the Note5, but very top notch. Apps launch super quick
Seems on-par or better than other flagship devices.
For me apps are launching very quickly. So I would say app launch speed is excellent.
top notch speed here. I noticed the camera is way faster on custom builds.
top notch speed as well. all good
Yeah it has a top notch speed, seems a pretty good phone.
Even Google Hangouts launches quickly

Actually I am interested in Mate8 because of its biiiiiiiger screen and best Soc at this moment, but I really care about the stock Android haha so little bit confuse, now holding N6 and feeling pretty good...

I just unlock Dev options and turn down the animation speeds as much as you want for a snappier response time.
I wish that game developers would optimize games for Android like they do for iOS. Take Angry Birds 2 and Deer Hunter 2016 for instance, those 2 games open lightning fast on iOS, but on the 6p, there's a noticeable delay when it's loading for the first time.
Upgrading to 7.x Android N will make a difference. The Just-In-Time compiler optimises app code and minimises delay.
Apps are claimed to install / load 75% faster.

I'm already running Nougat and the iPhone still smokes the 6p and the Pixel at opening games.

We're not having the iPhone or the iOS ecosystem in subject here.
Extremely satisfied with the app launch speed of my 6P. Apps launch very quickly and in app performance is top notch. Phone restarts offer significant boost in performance if you haven't restarted it for a month or 2. It's still not noticeable in daily use.
Not great

EMUI5 is bettee than emui4 plus feauture packed, there are aome bloats but can be removed easier, ability to customise the front capacitive buttons is great,also the fingerprint gestures
I love it that everything you need is already included.
Software wise, it's good, only some refinements when it comes to notifocation shade
EMUI went a long way since I last tried it on my wifes G7. This version is excellent and I even can have the app drawer which is what I like. Plenty of features, nice colors and options... I don't even feel the need of installing anything else like in previous phones I had!
The fingerprint sensor is awesome! I have 4 fingers saved (2 in each hand) and I turn the phone ON instantly in whatever position I have it.
Great camera too. I didn't try all the features yet, but I already noticed very good features. The selfi camera background blur effect is better than I anticipated! I can see the result right on the screen and make slight changes in position to achieve the perfect result! The speed of focus is great too!
And I think I don't need to speak about how beautiful the phone is. If you think it's beautiful by looking into the online pics of it, when you grab your hands on it than you know the true beauty... I'm speechless! It's the prettiest phone I've touched!
Just love emui 5..lets ee what they do with emui 6..
Honor 9 for sure will be a priority for EMUI 8.
The stock software application is good full and free of bugs and inaccuracies.
There is everything to explain what it is.
The Honor 9 comes with plenty of bloatware and useless apps like "mirror". The included software is pretty bad.
Favorite/Least Favorite Features of the Honor 9
After having my Honor 9 for several months now, I can create a decent list of all of my favorite features as well as my least favorite. I'll start with my list, and then you can feel free to add your own list in the comments.
Favorite Features
Camera
If you haven't seen the camera on the Honor 9 in action, check out this video to what what it's capable of.
Performance
The Honor 9 is actually one of the fastest phones ever. Even with the EMUI software, this phone will out-perform almost any other phone when it comes to speeed.
Design
I feel like the Honor 9 nailed the look that the Honor 8 was going for. The way the phone reflects light makes the phone stand out from any other device. It's probably my favorite looking phone ever.
Least Favorite Features
UI
The UI of Honor phones has always been something that really bugs me. The icons are just bad, the wallpapers are bad, and the color scheme is bad. Luckily this is fixed with a custom launcher with a new icon pack, but it would be nice to see Honor redesign the way EMUI looks.
Water Resistance
I think water resistance is a must-have for any flagship phone now. It sucks that the Honor 9 didn't get a water resistant upgrade.
For 400€ I can live without water resistance. The positive things on the phone are good enough to make me able to ignore that one thing (and this includes everything you said in the favorite feature part). Also, I don't see much of the UI because I use Google apps for most apps and I am also using an own theme. For me, battery and software update support is the bigger problem.

It's not terrible, but I don't love it. . . as a dark mode fan, it's a constant annoyance that basic things like the phone dialler app don't have dark mode, nor does the settings menu or other stuff I access frequently. Overall though, everything works like I'd expect it to, so I can't complain too much.
OEM Icons are terrible, the default launcher is just ok, default application functionality is mediocre, just download a 3rd party launcher like Evie, a custom icon pack, remove all the bloatware garbage OEM applications through ADB, download some better ones and you'll be all set.

We all have our own reasons for loving Android, ranging from our favourite OEMs design language to a great feature that can’t be found elsewhere, or perhaps just a great value price point. This is mostly thanks to some healthy competition and a sprinkling of strong product diversity. But this isn’t just true for hardware, Android software can be just as diverse, as OEMs attempt to put their own spin on things in a bid to stand out. Some more successfully than others, it has to be said.
Love them or loathe them, various OEM skins have enhanced and even innovated enough on stock Android to even become incorporated as key features in future versions. Despite the odd disaster, on the whole custom OEM skins and software have been a good thing for the broader ecosystem. Here are just some of the ways that OEM skins have benefited stock Android.
