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
Superbright, large screen for the phone's size, Ample storage, with easy expansion, Kirin 960 offers some speedy performance, EMUI 5.0 is quite well done and useful, Longlasting battery
We expected more from the dualcamera Leica system, No waterproofing
The Huawei Mate 9 hits a lot of strong notes: it's fast, has tons of storage, and offers a really large screen for the size of the handset. And while we wish that the display was higher-res and a little better balanced, the fact that it's incredibly brigh...
Price Tag, Availability, A bit of a boring design, Some quirks with EMUI 5.0
If you don't mind, or prefer a larger device, then yes. There's plenty to love about the Huawei Mate 9. Like most phones it does have its quirks, but those are pretty easy to get used too. The battery life and larger display definitely make this an attrac...

Topnotch build quality, Big, attractive screen, Fast performance throughout, Great battery life and superfast charging
Lower screen resolution than rivals (regular Mate 9), Camera not quite effortless as GS7/Pixel, Finicky capacitive buttons (PD Mate 9)
The Huawei Mate 9 is great big phone in every sense of that term. It delivers the strong performance and epic battery life we've come to expect from the Mate series, in a slightly more compact form factor, with trailblazing internals. EMUI 5 is a big, mea...

fast camera, great camera with hybrid zoom, fast storage, compact and appealing design, up to three years warranty, LTE Cat. 11, wide frequency coverage, great voice quality with noise suppression, App cloning, IR blaster, dual-SIM...
but only as hybrid slot, microSD-cards cannot be formatted as internal storage, no App2SD, clattering power adapter, slow SD slot, mediocre WiFi performance
Huawei's Mate 9 is a strict evolution of its high-end phablet. It is another step ahead in terms of features and performance, and it is still one of the biggest devices in this class, even though it now has a slightly smaller screen. Despite the size, the...

12 hours of battery life, Superbright 5.9-inch screen, Fantastic performance, Dual SIM tray with microSD slot
Dull design, Not water-resistant, Grainy low-light photo, Restricted to GSM carriers (AT&T and T-Mobile)
Huawei's Mate 9 is the kitchen sink of phones. You get a boatload of features, such as an IR blaster, clever stereo speakers, a fingerprint sensor, and a big, bright, 5.9-inch screen. It also has some of the best performance we've seen from a mobile proce...

Great software, Premium finish, Excellent battery life
Expensive
The Huawei Mate 9 isn't quite the essential purchase that Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 was (before the whole burny screamy saga), but it is a very good super-sized handset.EMUI 5.0 is fun to use and you get all of the features you'd expect, including a solid c...
