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

Great battery life, Huge 5.9inch display, Performance may get better over time
Mediocre benchmark performance, Camera struggles in lowlight conditions, Looks almost exactly the same as last year's Mate 8, Quite expensive for what you get
As usual for Huawei, the Mate 9 uses an in-house Kirin SoC. The Kirin 960 uses four of ARM's new Cortex-A73 cores and four low-powered A53 cores. It's also the first processor to ship with the new Mali G71 MP8 GPU, which should result in better gaming per...
