Horrendously high price
Emotion UI still strange
Proprietary UI will not meet everyone's tastes' No waterproofing
Its screen is only full HD and its design is utterly forgettable
Pricier than previous Mate models
Only has Full HD screen
Pro version (China only) is so much nicer
EMUI 5.0 is ultra-strict with app permissions and persistent in notifications
1080p screen
Still cluttered as an interface
Not as striking as some rivals
Battery spec is better than real battery stamina
AAA price
Only 1080p
Likely high price
Not water resistant
Not waterproof Only Full HD display User interface still suffers from idiosyncrasies
I have been very fortunate to have been able to use this phone for so long and, in doing so, I have really learned to love it. Even on its very first software iterations (where there were a few foibles) I was not dissuaded, as I could see some shining ben...
Surprisingly compact body, Amazing dual-lens Leica camera, Revised and improved software, Fast processor, Big battery
Not water-resistant, No U.S. release date yet, Uninspired design
Yes. Here, we could say something about the Mate 9 being an easy recommendation because you can't buy the Galaxy Note 7 anymore; but that's not strictly true. While the Mate 9's release is timely, we'd still recommend it as an alternative to the Galaxy No...
The Huawei Mate 9 has more power than you'll need, a camera that's great for arty shots and a battery that won't quit on you by dinner
Its screen is only full HD and its design is utterly forgettable
It doesn't have the flame-prone Note 7's beautiful lines and curves, but if you're after a high-performance big-screened phone that won't set your pants on fire, the Mate 9 is a great option...
Battery life, stereo speakers, fantastic frontfacing camera
Too big for some, exclusion of AMOLED display, primary camera still isnt there
You dont have many choices if youre looking for a flagship phablet but the lack of choice doesnt mean you have to compromise quality. The Huawei Mate 9 is one of the best Android devices available just now, including the crop of smaller ones. The batt...

Which neatly brings me to the conclusion. Huawei phones are getting better and better, and the Mate 9 is no exception to this trend. The trouble is that past handsets have been solid and competitively priced, and the Mate 9 certainly isn't. Last year's Ma...

expandable storage, dualsim, great battery life, excellent fingerprint scanner, good camera, massive screen
big, heavy, screen only 1080p
The Huawei Mate 9 is a very large smartphone that does a great job of not feeling so in use. The curved back, minimal body to screen ratio and solid build mean it's easier to hold onto than you might expect.But with that 5.9in screen, it's still a massive...

What might come as a surprise about the Mate 9 is just how much it's like the Mate 8 - and we were expecting bigger changes. It's a big slice of phone and sticks with a not-flagship Full HD resolution screen (1920 x 1080), this time in a 5.9-inch panel.Th...
With its sub-par battery life and not particularly brilliant cameras, I'm not wholly enamoured with the Mate 9. It's fast and has a lovely design, but I'm not sure it's worth the money. UK prices have yet to be announced for the Mate 9, but we do know tha...
