Big
Heavy

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
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...

Sleek & thin design, Battery that lasts for days, Incredible performance, Great camera experience
A bit too large, Software could be better, Very expensive
The Huawei Mate 9 is the perfect phone for those who simply need the best of the best. The hardware packed into the phone more than compensates for the inconsistencies in the software experience...
Unique machine learning algorithm, Impressively thin for such a large-screen device, Long battery life, Brisk performance, Large, bright display, Actually has a headphone jack
Only supports GSM carriers, Mediocre camera quality in low light, Polarizing skin will turn off Android purists
Huawei has set itself apart from its competitors by making an actually smart phone that can adjust its performance based on your habits. The Mate 9's machine-learning algorithm prioritizes resources to apps that it anticipates you'll use, making your...

Improved software skin, Excellent battery life, Excellent camera hardware, Very good stereo speakers, Well accessorized out of the box, Premium fit and finish, Good display brightness, 2016 has proven to be an interesting year for fans of larger phones. W
We'd prefer a higher resolution display, Camera software is complex to navigate, No enhanced water protection, Poor headphone audio, 2016 has proven to be an interesting year for fans of larger phones. Where we used to have numerous big screen experiments
Let's wrap this up. Where's that leave us with the Huawei Mate 9? In many markets around the world, this might be one of the only options for a truly large screen premium phone. It handles this responsibility with grace. I'm not personally a fan of big p...

Huawei crafted an attractive and powerful smartphone in the Mate 9. It's a gorgeous piece of hardware that delivers excellent performance across the board. The Mate 9 stands tall amidst the top echelon of handsets.There's no question the Mate 9 is Huawei...
overall performance, Fast fingerprint sensor, Long battery life, Huawei's native software provides a lot of ways to manually optimize the handset's performance
Lots of crapware that you can't delete, Camera could produce better low-light photos, Uncertain price in the US
