Big
Heavy
Screen only 1080p
The Mate 9 comes with a screen protector pre-installed
But like any other screen protector
It feels nicer to use without one stuck to the screen

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

Excellent SoC and storage performance. Beautiful aluminum unibody design with slim bezels. Fantastic battery life. Improved dual camera system can take good photos
Display is below par. EMUI (software) is improving, but still needs work. Camera underperforms in weak lighting

In most respects the Mate 9 is a true upgrade from the previous model. It offers a new SoC that boasts significantly improved graphics power, refined industrial design that makes the phone look and feel every bit as premium as a Samsung or Apple handset...
Great build, sharp look, Topoftheline performance, One of the best smartphone cameras, Ships with adapters and smartphone bumper
Not dustproof, not waterproof, Limited US carrier support
The common knock on Huawei smartphones: great hardware, poor software. Huawei took big steps to correcting that with the Huawei Mate 9. It's EMUI is still heavy enough to retain distinction from stock Android, though much closer to the real thing than...
The biggest problem for the Mate 9, and Huawei, in general, is that in the United States, the handset is only available ‘unlocked'. This means it hasn't been picked up by the carriers, and will only work on GSM networks such as AT&T and T-Mobile.All-in-al...
If you couldn't tell by my enthusiasm in some of the pervious sections, I absolutely love this phone. My only drawback to using it is, as you may be able to tell in some of the pictures, I have smaller than average hands which makes it difficult to use su...
Abstract: With CES long gone and us currently in that few week period between last year's news and this year's upcoming excitement, it's time we take a good long look at Huawei's latest product for the US, the Mate 9 smartphone.On paper, the Mate 9 fits the bill pe...

Impressive responsiveness, processor performs very well, Back-facing camera is amongst best on the market, Bright, colorful display, Expandable storage, IR blaster
Not available through US-based carriers (must buy SIM separate), Pre-installed screen protector scratches easily, Speaker quality not top-notch at highest volume, Display just 1080p across 6.2-inches
The Huawei Mate 9 is an interesting combination of elements, one that sees the company move from strong branding to entirely solid smartphones in the international market. SEE ALSO: Huawei Mate 9 Review from an alternate point of view We're still waiting...
The build quality and design are nice and with a curved back, it adds grip to the device so you don't drop it. The display is great even with it being 1080p. The sound and camera quality are good
Max volume had some crackling noise and music doesn't sound the same. A few times the camera would have colors look as if they're faded
If you were thinking about whether you should get the Huawei Mate 9 or not, stop thinking and get it. It's running Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box, so you don't have to wait for any updates, 64GB of internal storage is plenty for some even if you have a...
The Huawei Mate 9 is the perfect for smartphone for someone who wants the most screen real estate in the smallest package. The handset isn't the fanciest looking device, but its solid build and use of quality materials make it respectable. When it comes t...

Small bezels put focus on the screen, EMUI 5.0 adds some character, charm to Nougat, Excellent battery life
Button/Fingerprint sensor placement creates some fumbling, No support from Verizon, Sprint, and other CDMA carriers
Huawei's Mate 9, the company's first U.S. flagship, looks to take on Samsung and Google with a thin, light handset that brings a huge screen and a ton of power...
