Big
Heavy

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

The Huawei Mate 9 has so much to recommend it so consider it iTWire's choice of phablets at present. I could not fault it in any way apart from saying it would be perfect with QHD AMOLED, wireless chrge, and IP68 – none are deal-breakers and phones with...

Large screen, sleek design, customisable user interface, excellent dual lens camera, long life battery, fast charging
Not water resistant, only FHD resolution screen, could be cheaper
Huawei has produced one of its best smartphones with the Mate 9. The brand has matured nicely in the last couple of years and the Mate 9 is a great example to show just how far it has come. Huawei's Mate 9 is an excellent device that offers quality and h...

The Huawei Mate 9 excels as a piece of hardware. The display is big and bright. The processor performs admirably and is relatively fast albeit with an occasionally slowdown. The camera produces high quality pictures. The fingerprint sensor is fast and acc...

A great set of cameras, a great battery, and great processing power under the hood: these are the three pillars that underpin Huawei's latest big-screened Android phone. The $999 Huawei Mate 9 is, as its particular corner of the market goes, one of the ab...
At the end of the day, you may never have considered Huawei before, but the Chinese manufacturer has made a brilliant series of choices to deliver a phone that will last the whole day. Achieving a modern, fast smartphone that actually makes it from 7am to...
Metal and glass, and very well made, Excellent performance thanks to Huawei's own technology, Black and white sensor produces some absolutely brilliant images, Includes an infrared port, one of the features that has gone missing in recent years
Heavy, Screen is only Full HD, No stylus support, making it not so much a Note replacement but just a very big phone, No water resistance
If you can forgive the lack of water resistance, the slightly older Gorilla Glass, and the fact that this is a big and relatively heavy smartphone, Huawei's Mate 9 is a solid device to look at, and we mean “solid” in every sense of the word.There isn't mu...
The Mate 9 comes in a variety of colours, but that depends on where you buy it. Huawei says it's available in “Space Gray” from Optus and Vodafone, and “Mocha Brown” from JB Hifi, Harvey Norman and other participating retailers.Its outright price of $999...
Great battery, Very fast, Good value, Potentially-amazing camera
Potentially-disappointing camera
It succeeds in the three key areas required of smart phones: battery, performance and camera. As such it's great value at $999. However, the camera can struggle in basic low-light conditions. We hope this will get fixed down the line...
Fun, innovative dual lens camera, Top notch battery life, Better bang-for-buck than other flagships, 64GB of expandable storage
No water-resistance, Huawei's take on Android needs more refinement, Will be too big for some, No support for Daydream VR
Huawei's Mate 9 is a great choice for those looking for a big phone. Almost two days of battery life, an innovative camera, and a price tag that undercuts the competition make it a perfect device for those still mourning the loss of their Note 7...
