Huawei Mate 9 Porsche Design - User Reviews

  • I can't help noticing a contradiction in your comment!

  • Sooo a Mate 9 pro remastered should i say?

  • I think I like this one?

  • This is the worst "Porsche Design" product I've ever seen. It's literally a carbon-copy of Samsung's Galaxy design. I'm glad the new Huawei Porsche Design smartphone actually looks like a different device.

  • Bro its available at myshop.pk

  • Already available in Pakistan at I shipping Karachi (online store)

  • Yes it is avaiaible in Nairobi.

  • when will it be available in PAKISTAN ? we would love to have such device. Awaiting heartly

  • when will it be available in Philippines? we would love to have such device.

  • Is it available in Kenya.

  • Dearest Huawei.You,for sure,are one of the most prestigious brand worldwide that beside making smartdevices installing telecommunication systems in many countries !! This phablet with $ 3000 price written on my left side page is unaffordable for many people !!! Could it be much more better and successful !!! The answer would have been "yes" of course !! 1- Reduction of useless bezels 2- Having a dedicated memory slot 3- Not using hybrids anymore further 4- Using Bluetooth 5 plus its auxiliaries 5 - USB V 3.1 + specifically OTG 6- Radio + rds recording....7-Chances of upgrading always in last android system....These are just merely suggestions for going from better to the best....If Xiaomie of China can , Huawei of China is able to do it best....Justice Rights.Omid12Omidvar is a neutral supporter of both brands and customers unbiasedly like GSMArena....Thanks and welcome Huawei youngsters engineers innovative generations....

  • in fact, it is high quality phone from best phone brand, I have the MATE 9 and it's special phone because of much more advantages like big and good screen, awesome battery life, very good cameras, high level of sound speaker, and IR blaster for doing everything in single button, don't forget quick charging which is really quick charging even the battery is 4000 mAh.

  • Since you have C9 Pro I guess you are not really had a Porsche design mate 9. Don't bluff here and make yourself no class. One hour of Charge If using original Super Charge plug and cable at least 0% to 60%

  • get a life plz

  • i would rather buy a iphone 8 and a vada pav by the remaining money.... salman rocks

  • I think u just don't know how to use it

  • can you explain...?

  • WhatsApp always delayed what shall any suggestions??

  • that's because you can't get used to it

  • I have been using this phone for 1 week now. I'm really disappointed by the emui and HuAwei. It can not be compared by any means to LG or Samsung operating system for ease, features or security. The phone is definitely fast with a great battery but in relation to price and design and features the result is that it's a huge disappointment which I have only my self to blame. Apart from the Porsche design brand printed on the phone the design is a copy of Samsung s series. Yes it has 6gb ram and 256 gb storage but that,s all. The camera is decent but no way better than 2016 flagship models from most major phone manufacturers. Charging is very quick and battery last a full day with heavy use. When you pay premium price you expect only the best but perhaps this is just Huaweii best only and just falls short. Big disappointment is the lack of security features like full encryption! You can only encrypt files you choose and not the whole phone. Also when someone has been using LG and Samsung software interface in their phones is hugely disappointed with HuAwei which is extremely simplified and inadequate by all standards.

  • please release review about Huawei Mate 9 Porsche Design...Pleaseee

  • i wanna kia i10 version of this. hurry up huawei and do ur best !

  • One off the best mobile in the market i have it and i know what I'm saying

  • what charger u use lmao

  • Dearest fact-writing enthusiasts.Hereby I confidently announce that gsmArena does not take sides with any brands and its reviews doesn't imply closing the eyes to all brands flowseven this hHuawei Porsche!!! $2200 to $2600 is ultra overpriced for a model not compatible to 2017-18 standard!!!Maybe true cost is utmost the least imaginable amount and this model never gets success worldwide for scientific reasons!!!Huawei Y II is a Huawei midrange but relatively better than this!!!Number of sales is undisclosed for Huawei supporters!!!Justice Rights.Omid12Omidvar.is following moral guidelines and I think so does gsmArena hopefully!!Thanks all.

  • Hi, there is always delay in whatsapp, in one hour it charges 30 % only where is fast charging ? on my Galaxy C9 pro with bigger screen battery is better, auto brightness worse never works fine. regretting paying on this garbage. Not worth nothing special at all....

  • Thanks my dearest to read it.But $2200 plus is the story of the hardship earning money of a family of 8 for 4 years just living like hermits!Do you think that those as humans do not have the freedom of choice and capabilities of having the best too!!!?O.K.Dearest gsmArena,please release the answer for those whom may have felt just some pains to understand the UN human laws too,....Justice Rights.Omid12Omidvar.is absolutely a humanwith hhumanity too....

  • You call this a summary ,my friend this is a story and not summary

  • Porsche design my ass, they should name it Suzuki instead.

  • Problem with dual cameea wide angle nit working also the whatapp aplication not working properly msg are delayed even though all background permissions granted and optimizers are off

  • My dearest billions of smart,intelligent,genius knowledgeable friends worldwide.By writing this short summary comment,I want to prove that gsmArena is independent ,neutral and just and never ever related to any brands by any means rather than fact-writing and just earn living through ads and other legal means.Unlike some gsmArena sites under different names in their languages worldwide,hero moderators based on their guidelines neutrality and gsmArena disclaimer affirm and confirm comments,reviews,opinions,views and reviews to be published or not!!Not taking sides of any brands regardless of their power and influence to misguide public by misinformation!!Hero manager alone is not the only person to decide subjectivity or objectivity what to published or not and no void baseless futile debate and quarrel of sellers to impose their opinions in favour of this or that brands expectantly!!!And now this is fact-writing arena in gsmArena to prove its independence and neutrality!!!?O.K.A person whom pays $2200 + to buy this good smartphone smar-device expects a dedicated external memory slot(since 256 gigs of internal and 6 gigs of RAM are at rise for security reasons!!)Bluetooth is not up to data to the last Bluetooth 5 version+5 important auxiliaries.USB V.1 and otg absent,No radio,no promise of its next upgrade to the next android and some other issues that gsmArena reviewers may decide about them specifically more than enough bezel according to todays standards!!Samsung S 8 pro with 88.8% bezel is a record holder now and Lenovo 3 with 9600 mAh is the battery recorder!!!I hope some fans biasedly don't claim such a ultra record expensive device do not claim this smartphone doesn't need this and that!!!$2200 Huawei price is a record in history now that Mate 9 of the same brand has superior quality criteria to the Porches!!!Hopefully Huawei public relations if has considered people's true wants and giving true specifications about their products!!!However this device regardless of deficits is good quality smart-device for its staunch fans!Result:I have to postpone buying it for my Virtual Grand Dream Museum for the futurists until true price subsidies!!!To be continued.Thanks all mentioned names plus independence proving gsmArena+you fact-writing readers!WIFI is complete too bit,...

  • Kia is korean dude. Huawei is chinese made.

  • why own a kia if you are rich lol, it is the same logic.

  • Yes I will buy next year but every will be update so when I'll buy

  • I'm not able to get the apps on homescreen when i started it. the black screen is coming with notification bar. anyone help ?

  • It looks like a s6 edge...

  • then buy a Samsung.

  • Even samsung A series has water and dust protection.

  • It better come with an actual Porsche with that price

  • Poor Porsche made of Gorilla Glass 3.

  • Trust me guys this fone is a beast .......what a design n some guys over here mentioned that its same like s7 samsung ..... its totallly different ....... and this fone is on different level friends i used to have mate 9 and i am damn satified with that fone though i recently change with porsche design looks quaility powwer bettery style ....... allin one

  • If you have money more than you need for your own life, you will never look at KIA lol

  • honestly its only an opinion , u can have any car any phone , when the status becomes a Porsche its a whole new ball game pricey or not ,, its a status only 1 can dream off where I come from....

  • This phone is not for the average consumer, the whole Porsche Design thing is for those who don't give a crap about price, those who want to show off and have a great phone at the same time.

  • Yes why own a Porsche when you can buy a Kia, Is the same thing with 4 wheels that do the job!.......hmmm does that make sense?? LOL

  • Brother you are absolutely all right.

  • after 1 year, all your porche money will fall sick over different flagships. better camera. better screen. better battery life. better durability. just like the tesla is better than porche, this porche design pricey will meet the same fate

  • True. Still a wannabe though...

  • what!? no SD card? non removable battery? well...

  • better you go and buy iphone lah... huawei did not ask with you idea....

  • Price group out of 10/10 👍

  • OK people have different tastes but this thing looks so much cooler than the s7 edge. Obviously that logo on the for head of the device is unsightly and the edges aren't needed but in every other way it is a top of the market smartphone. Brilliant camera, amazing design, great screen, plenty ram and storage , powerful processor, large battery, USB C and there is that awesome logo on the back. You can't say that that phone isnt amazing and better than the s7 edge

  • Enjoy getting overtaken by a Porsche!

  • You can get the same specs for 400$ but on the won't be written Porsche Design, this phone is not just a phone it's a status symbol

  • In Your Dream.. S7 Edge Wannabe...

  • can someone please make a phone with 5.1 curve display and round home button that would be perfect.

  • Then go find yourself a $400 phone with the same specs. Salty people these days

  • in malaysia..price this phone almost 8k Ringgit Malaysia

  • I think This phone costs only $400 but "Porsche Design" logo costs more then $1000.

  • i once went too the store n they were actualy out off apples.

  • Is this phone dual active like mate 8?

  • You are right Alex,

  • No you weren't. A man doesn't change his choice of vehicle just because the company released a mixed brand smartphone.

  • And why is Hua Wei using the Porsche brand a disgrace?

  • This is a disgrace to the brand of Porsche! I was planning to get a Cayman but not anymore! I'm going for Mercedes after this!

  • really deserve 10/10...super duper mobile.........

  • 31st?well tbh...it has already arrive in Malaysia... months ago...

  • It's gonna cost u $1500us

  • Who will compete........with this complete..........phone such an exceptional masterpiece good luck huawei

  • unfortunately NO

  • only difference is the badge of porsche design front and back and the storage is 256GB no more while the pro version comes with two options 64GB storage with 4GB of RAM 128GB storage with 6GB of RAM

  • It's a joke. They want to get a premium market.

  • What a beautiful phone!

  • The best ever phone in the world Well done huawei.👍

  • Fastest Andriod Smartphone. Well Done Huawei.

  • Awesome... best design ever.

  • hahaha

  • how and whre wil I get this porche design..n by how much? and whats the difference btwn ths and mate 9 Pro?

  • Is this phone is water proof? ☺☺☺ please give me update. Thank you so much.

  • Yes, I already know that (thanks for your reply btw). But my point is, this phone is a "limited edition" and yes, you may find the same performance on Huawei Mate 9 Pro. // However you will not find Porsche Design at any store, that was my explanation.

  • Nope, no need to if you have a brain.

  • Really ? can you wash it under the tap ????

  • There is a Huawei mate 9 pro. Which is a Porsche Design but without the logo. Check it out on YouTube

  • People are complaining about its price, however Huawei will sell the phone only at Porsche stores (i.e. buying the latest Porsche and you want a powerful device). // I guess this phone is for people who can afford it, looking for a different option instead of Samsung or Apple flagships.

  • Except it's better than Samsung ;-)

  • Dearest knowledge quality enthusiasts.It is vividly evident that a beautiful great consent contest of quality qualifications is running between the uncle Samsung of korea and Huawei the lion of China in all category smartdevice classes!!!About this $1000 Qhd 4 inched true screen screen without SD slot that number of hits implicitly proves many things,there are 3 unnecessary Nos!!!?USB 3.1,radio,SD slot,and minor not mentioned apt.x are absent!!Without their somewhat forgetful existence,this Mate9 pro is one of the best high ends smartdevice of 2016-17 without any doubts that unfortunately few can having access to it!!!Of course,if we speak unbiasedly,it follows the Apple method,while Apple success has other criterion not being able mentioning it here!!!Though,it is the loveliest even for watching for many many whom wishing having it but,....!?Thanks Huawei,Samsung,Apple,...Which regardless of materialistic objectives create jobs for many worldwide,....Justice Rights always writes right rights!Omid12Omidvar,....

  • Well said.

  • usb 2.0 with type c ?

  • The same question can be asked about cars, why do they all have 4 wheels yet some cost more than 1000 times others, and the same answer can be given, there is a target audience. The right question then should be are you the target audience?

  • Look at the internal storage guys and the OS version together with the battery life its not about the style or the name its all about the inside of the phone.

  • Whatever you say, it's sold out in 1 second in China. I mean it, 1 second. 8 of my friends try to buy it at the exact release time and we fail lol.

  • Can i sell piece of plastic for 600 euros if i engrave "Porsche design" on it ? I mean, this and Mate 9 Pro are the same... and i don't think that 2 words worth +600 euros. Not to mention S7 Edge with better design that throws shadow on this and similar phones like this one. And it costs 620e in my country. That's over 100% more. Lolz

  • I was thinking the same lol

  • damm this phone is expensive...just for the word porsche design?

  • I just bought Huawei P9 mate ( MHA-L29) in Thailand, 4 GB /64 GB. The goods: Looks, feel battery life. The Bad: 1-Sticky scroll in Facebook with wifi and/or with 4G connection. (very annoying) it gets stack either reboot or move the the screen up or down for long time until it start moving . 2- The notification just show a number like (5) you don't know who is it from until you pull the screen down. 3- The folders at home screen ( for application short cut) shows 6 app the rest is on 2nd screen. why not all in a list the going back and forth. 4-No wireless charger for high price. 5-camera is good but no panoramic mood. Dear Huawei now that you want to play in premium market and wants money for it please pay attention to power users like me, we can be your friend and free advertiser or your nightmare. For $750 I need patch fast to fix those items.

  • What do you need an external memory slot for when u have an internal memory of 256 gigs

  • Mate 9 Porsche Design looks like a Xiaomi Mi 5, rather than a Samsung, looks more elegant than a Samsung device. sorry lol

  • Huawei Mate 9 - SAMSUNG design ;-)

  • Oh. It has if you use single sim. Check it on youtubr

  • when in review

  • means both sim slots support 4G and u can swap easily within the phone..... some dual sim phone only have 1 sim slot support 4G so when ever u wanna swap u need to take the sim card out and swap slot

  • copy samsung Galaxy s7 in front

  • Huawei power

  • Asus zenfone 3 deluxe did that in few months back. LOL

  • it's just price design logo. no more.

  • exellent specificatiions

  • My dearest.Another Huawei excellent product with 5 GPS alternatives but not having a must external memory capability!!!I still don't know the Huawei,s logical justification!!!But the excellent is the excellent!!!Omid12Omidvar....

  • nice job.....

  • Huawei Go win!!!

  • why not? just because it's softwear is efficent, dosn't mean apple has to sell it for more than 1000 dollars. I bet if that thing ran on android, it wouldn't be even worth a forth of it's price!

  • and with 6 gb of ram and a octacore processer

  • The great phone with a great price no juke no problem if any one make a fun of this phone.he don't know about fashion and technology.cuz porches is a fashion .Huawei is technology thanks

  • Dual SIM both 4G? or... SIM1 4G, SIM2 2G??? thank you

  • A 256Gb is not a joke........well done huawei

  • This phone has many features that I am looking for but lacks Qi wireless charging apparently. This seems very shortsighted of manufacturers to think fast charging is sufficient for all. I have a Nexus 6 and much prefer the Qi charging and not be concerned about the wires.

  • 1500 Euro... Congratulations...

  • I can easily prefer this phone to anyone as compare to samsung and apple because huwaei has been improving from past couple of months.After the release of mate7 onwards.I recently used huwaei p9 and i think it is one of the best andriod compact smartphone.Camera,display,metal construction.overall its amazing..

  • Compare to Samsung or Apple, the specification of this phone is much better. Price is also reasonable compare to other mobile phone.

  • Samsung is been doing these designs for Years. No surprised by your reply though. That's why Trump won the elections, people want new no matter what they have to offer or what are qualities..

  • I think this is grate phone by specs,but design is nothing special,I dont think it should be so pricy with such a copycat design

  • WAAAAH! cooool loooooc.thnx

  • whenever this phone is dropped officially, i will drop my samsung s7 edge and go for this.

  • This is iPhosung :-) take from best and put it together!

  • where i can buy

  • copy of samsung s6 edge or s7 edge with home button. great job huawei

  • ha ha ha

  • So huawei perfected s7 design...finally something good...

  • Guess you've never used Huawei phones before.

  • don't compare with i phone

  • you think core is every things......if you think that ......you don't know about anythings about processor............!!! look at the an tu tu score............!!!

  • omg , phone of century i think.

  • this is better than then the iphone 7+, twice the ram, two times the storage. It's also a octacore phone, instead of a quadcore phone comparing to the iphone 7+.

  • lol

  • only the front looks like the s7 edge, the back doesn't.

  • over 1000 USD

  • huawei has finally made a phone is good

  • Definitly the best phone. only i wonder, in every review i see that the porsche design huawei mate 9 does have a card slot, here it says it has not. Maybe it could be changed. for the rest this beautiful phone is definitly worth the money, it has everything.

  • The price is perfect. You get what you pay for right! Big battery with fast charge, big memory both ram and rom, fast duo camera, android 7, brilliant ui, metal back, Porsche name too. it's a complete winner. For once I think we have the perfect phone.

  • The price will also be perfect! This is more than a thousand dollars, from the rumors that I got, this would be around $1,300.00. As they say, it is also like you are going to buy a Porsche car. Good luck to all buyers!

  • what about the price ?

  • It is not a copy, but what you would call it an investment.

  • All hands up! Huawei high-end phones nothing has it better. At the end of the day it is connectivity,power, efficiency and camera. No other phones has this 4 aspects in one....so to speak with price. Real deal with no headache!!!

  • So if someone wears a white shirt, and ur also wearing the same than u are a copycat, Lol Wake up sid, If this is what u say a copycat than by your point of view all the people in this world are copycat, Grow up kid.

  • thats true!

  • who ever has the Patent first gets all the Royalties simple as that. :D

  • Anyone can use the same screen but use Samsung as a provider of that screen. For example, I think Iphone 8 will have curved screen which means Apple will have to buy screens directly from Samsung.

  • So after Samsung used the curved screen, nobody else can do that otherwise they are copycat. Is that the point?

  • Superior by far to the S7 Edge!!

  • Completely Agree mate. Thumbs up.

  • Not Even. XD Apple and samsung get their ideas from these small companies, and because they can afford the adveretising, it seems like they came up with the idea. Dual cameras have been seen before the iphone 7+. Curved screens have been seen before the s6 edge. It actually looks nothing like the s7 edge. Huawei has done very well in its efforts to get this far compared to 2010 and its materialistic branders like you that dont help. Maybe if you used the phone you probably wouldnt go back to samsung. I know i wouldnt.

  • iphone 7 plus copy of p 9 mate 9 is thousand way batter than samaung naote 7 or s7 edge i use huawei phone never hangs best chipset kirn

  • Looks like Samsung Galaxy S7 edge copy. I prefer Samsung Galaxy S7 edge with external card, not like dudes here, I need external card for work.

  • One of the several reasons why huawei will never ever be a go to brand for me.

  • SAMSUNG S7 EDGE copy..! shame huwawei. shame. device name should be rename as HUWAWEI MATE 9 S7 EDGE DESIGN. $^^$&^$^$ %$^$$

  • galaxy s7??

  • looks like a galaxy note+ htc to me.

  • Mali-G71 MP8 GPU. This new GPU of the Huawei MATE 9 will ensure energy efficiency up to 20% and up to 40% in performance. But in total of the whole specs improvement is up to 180% . Just learnt that from Androidauthority.com

  • Oh I forgot something, The Huawei Porsche design has 4000 mAh battery and the Google Pixil XL has 3450 mAh battery. The Porsche design looks like Samsung s7 edge and the Google Pixil XL looks like honor 8 hahaha!!!!! Choose which one you like the price is almost the same. If not you can choose the standard one. Samsung disappointed me for doing such powerful Note 7 phone but do battery that catches fire in it. I don't know what kind of experiment that failed in it. Sorry Samsung but be more vigilant next time with S8 which is supposed to be more powerful than all your phones.

  • Few weeks before now Google Pixil XL was the most expensive phone at hand but Huawei Porsche design joins it now. I think they gave that exorbitant price because of the Google Pixil XL phone at $1,499. IS VERY EXPENSIVE. Now let's see this. Google Pixil XL is amoled at 5'5 display with 534 Pixil density and is quad HD and Huawei Porsche design is same. Now Google Pixil XL - Nougat 7.1 and Porsche design is Nougat 7.0, Google Pixil XL Chipset- snapdragon 821 and Porsche design is histrionics Kirin 960 which is supposed to be powerful than snapdragon 821. The GPU, Google Pixil XL Adreno 530 and Huawei moves to the now coverted G 71 mp8. The G 71 is more powerful than the Adreno and Mali. Now let's come to the memory. Google Pixil XL is 128/4 GB and Huawei Porsche design is 256/6 GB. So you see the Huawei Porsche design tops the Google phone. Only where the Google phone tops the Porsche design is the Nougat 7.1 I really can't understand why they moved to Nougat 7.1 whilst only two phone models have experimented the Nougat 7.0 to the market, LG V20 and Huawei now joins it. The manufacturers are moving too fast sometimes. I don't know how it would be like by the year 2020.

  • yeah but if u use 64 internal +128SD storage, then u'll be just fine with 256GB internal... not even the need for OTG

  • Where is the good design?!!! its a S7 edge COPY/PASTE

  • Too good it runs android. Ios is a greedy s.h.i.t. which ask for money everytime you need to download even a smallest worthless apps.

  • Hey kid why you need remowable battery. Any service can replace it easy. And SD card??? In 256GB version? I think you really like to watch some naughty adult movies.

  • are u not wondering why there are lots of smartphone brands copying home button/ fingerprint scanner in the front and people not complaining why they look like samsung? if huawei had a chance to complain why they put finger print scanner at the back? are u copying us? the big difference in the back. huawei did it again, and made smartphone design better and look gorgeuos and one of a kind. touch of luxury and craftmanship.

  • Give the same reply to me also, Hahaha Do u need a memory card in 256 gb mobile phone

  • just carry a OTG cable and a pendrive then.it should solve your problem hehe

  • That big PORSCHE DESIGN logo at the top ruins the good design of this phone. Totally unnecessary and really ugly

  • I guess you always carry a connection cable with your phone to go to work or school every time, or you don't use your phone for work and study. I prefer to have a 32/64gb internal storage with a 128gb external storage card in the phone without carrying a connection cable everyday.

  • What????xiaomi is the Toyota of the smart phones????....very weird...xiaomi phones never updates their phones in new OS...never thought about that they are the Toyota in smart phones...I describe them as Futon cars in the mobile world always bringing new phones in the market and for about 6 months the phones are history....hope you clarify your statement...tnx

  • Consider the battery, that's why, the size

  • Your repeated sentence makes no sence, I repeat Do u need a memory card in 256gb phone Lots of laugh...

  • I need to repeat this again ... "I guess you always carry a connection cable with your phone to go to work or school everytime, or you don't use your phone for work and study. I prefer to have 32/64gb internal storage with 128gb external storage card in the phone without carrying a connection cable everyday."

  • With 256 gb storage u need a memory card... lol

  • I gues you always carry a connection cable with your phone to go to work or school everytime, or you don't use your phone for work and study. I prefer to have 32/64gb internal storage with 128gb external storage card in the phone without carrying a connection cable everyday.

  • Its enough to box u within the phone dude!

  • It will be really hard to convince people it's not a Galaxy S7 edge P: Woah, dude! Is that a limited edition Porsche Design Galaxy S7 edge?! Never seen one before. U: Umm no, it's not a S7 edge. P: ........ U: ........ P: So is it a new S8 edge than? U: No. It's a Huawei Mate 9 Porsche Design. P: ........ U: ........ P: Are you sure it's not the Galaxy Note 7? U: ........

  • Amazing, battery size and internal storage... Yes, if the internal storage is like this, then no need for extra SD memory. I wish to have this in Dubai soon.

  • 256gb internal storage and u required sd card slot. are u mad?

  • This phone has similar features with other cell phones and has no card slot, it is shamed to asks for a higher price.

  • Porsche didn't copy. European invested in Samsung a lot. Eversince Brexit took place, Samsung has suffered a lot with their Note 7.

  • Well, duh...European invested in Samsung a lot, so Huawei asked the European to do it this time.

  • smartphones prices of nowadays became ridiculously exaggerated, and day by day the human being value is getting cheaper and cheaper.

  • Dearest progress enthusiasts.Very soon,after gsmArena review,I will take this ultra quality smartphone phablet to my test lab to see all its performances!!Why!!!?My Virtual Grand Dream Musiem may have a place for it!!!Anyway,a person may not be able to have a private plane jet,but they enjoy seeing or others enjoying or having it,just like watching movies and then daydreams!!Though,people's expectations from Huawei of China is much more than other brands....!!It is usual in Samsung,when its best products fevers goes down,after a year,prices usually become two thirds!!!So,this general rule above Huawei is applicable too!!!Yes!?Thanks all mentioned names+impartial gsmArena....Omid12Omidvar...

  • Are u a manufacturer, because i think these are user opinions, not manufacturers opinions, u r using 175mm phone n telling 2mm as toooooo big... U enjoy ur strugle

  • Yeah, absolutely i can't believe Porsche's design departement has done anything on this phone

  • For less you have the Xiaomi Mi Mix Xiaomi built phone with an excellent quality and reliability They are the Toyota of the smartphones

  • 2.4mm IS a big difference when manufactures struggle for each 0.1mm

  • toooo expensive, I'd rather buy 2 iphones than this phone.

  • Relax. As soon as someone sees it in public, they're going to think that it's a special edition S7 Edge, or even an S8 Edge, until the owner has to explain that it's not. I certainly would like to find out more about this phone's true specifications.

  • I would buy a Huawei phone for my next phone, if they change to physical buttons for their next phone, I would not. Simple as that.

  • too expensive phone than Vertu Signature Touch (2015). You can check the price of Vertu Signature Touch (2015) below and see the difference..

  • This is the first phone, I really like to have beside my living Sony Ericsson G900, really wonderful. wish there was a GT-silver color too, or Miami blue. Thanks.

  • 2160p@30fps what a joke

  • Is 2.4mm a very big difference... Lol

  • That gets outdated within a month.

  • with how many month software update support?

  • Samsung S7 Edge Dimensions 150.9 x 72.6 x 7.7 mm (5.94 x 2.86 x 0.30 in) Huawei Mate 9 Porsche Design Dimensions 152 x 75 x 7.5 mm (5.98 x 2.95 x 0.30 in) With same screen size the Mate is too big.

  • Not inspired but made of originality by observing market demands to tackle opponents.

  • Expensive? Samsung Galaxy s7 not expensive but this piece of diamond is expensive?You wanna buy or not I will buy this futuristic smartphone

  • Market doesn't work on your orders, you accept or not.

  • Absolutely man, best of all time.

  • People like you don't have any work except just finding similarities between phones from out side but don't look how much different these smartphones differ from each other from inside. It has simillarities with Samsung Galaxy s7(best smartphone 2016) but it doesn't mean that it is a copy piece of s7. It's design has many differences. It is not even released and you started finding clues of copy. Whenever it comes out, it will be best smartphone of the year 2016,just wait and watch.

  • judging by your name, dont you know that note 7 also runs on android?

  • 4.7" xenon flash, fm radio, IR Blaster, Dolby

  • Tooooooo....expensive to buy for practical purposes...except to flaunt...

  • price as iphone7 plus . In my country Iphone 7 128GB version cost around 1000Euros .

  • Nowadays, everyone's inspired by everyone.

  • Price is 1395 euros.

  • Well, definitely compliments to Huawei, for this fantastic Mate 9 Porsche Design flagship! (The standard Mate 9 is quite good too) the only non sense thing is its price, it is more than too much (€800/50 is already enough). Price apart, it is one of the best 2016 flagships. But i think that the title of the best/most innovative, belongs to the Xiaomi Mi Mix? (The Mi Note 2 is good too). After all these and more excellent phones/phablets, it will be extremely interesting to see what the big brands will do?? Mostly Samsung with the S8. 1: they absolutely have to gain trust after the unfortunately fiasco of the Note 7. 2. They must find a way to beat/be better than these Huawei Mate 9 PD & Xiaomi Mi Mix, etc. Plus the competition of the next LG G6, HTC 11, etc. Well it is clear that they must not only do an effort, but a super super effort. 2017 will be absolutely very interesting, and so i'm definitely looking forward to see what they will do and what it will happen.

  • Front looks like Samsung S6 Edge Back looks like HTC M8 I wait the price.

  • Looks like to be inspired from the galaxies

  • Stick to on screen buttons for the rest of your upcoming phones please. I hate buttons below the screen on my 5.1" phone, larger still and you constantly have to change where you hold the thing or use two hands 24/7.

  • 2 german tech + 1 chinese tech = huawei mate 9 pd, not talking about cars here but the designers. one of the best for now from huawei, leica & porsche. cheers.

  • Get real, it is going to be an overpriced Chinese smartphone, it is designed by Porsche Design just like the overpriced Blackberry.

  • These days almost premium phones are designed very similar to the bomb Note 7.

  • hmm.... i dont see any wheel.. (-_-!

  • Does it come with MHL? Mate 8 don't have MHL is really break my heart.

  • I'll wait for the review!! so expensive phone... but over all the specs are good..

  • Tooo Much Expensive.. 1359 euros.. Lol i Will Never Buy This Crap..

  • Dearest factwriting electronic technology enthusiasts.Undoubtedly,a complete higher ends class phablet from Huawei,even without a memory dedicated SIM slot....But with Android 7 Nougat,Bluetooth or USB you may transfer your date to elsewhere....Congregations to the progress of knowledge betterment....Justice Rights.

  • Go back to your iPhone.

  • This phone here looks genuinely bada$$. Too bad it runs Android.

  • Specs (for me) are better than s7 edge Especially that i don't need any waterproofing or dustproof . Dual cam on the back is a better feature , especially when made by leica Metal back are more durable than glass ones It's a excellent phone but it's overpriced if it was somewhere between 850-100 and with storage and ram options , it could be better I'm sticking to the vanilla mate 9 (differences are : amoled vs ips lcd and qhd vs fhd (as im not using vr qhd is not important for me)) Go Huawei !! Mate 9 is the best

  • the emui 5.0, nougat 7.0, gpu g71 mp8 and hi silicon karin 960 all together will ensure this phones has 180 % speed than all phones alive. hahaha! am waiting for mine soon

  • Crazy price .. what makes any one to buy such an expenssive mobile will be a trash after twe years

  • No user removable battery and no microSD slot. RIP huawei.

  • What is mobile price

  • Price will be iphone 7plus price or around (when it launch).I am sure cause this is their flagship and note series phone like iPhone 7 plus and galaxy note series.

  • Why this Porsche design has amoled instead of super...???

  • This beautiful phone costs 1359 euro, approx. same in dollars.

  • 1400 euro for chines brand ?

  • good device

  • What....I wonder how much this beast will cost in South Africa.

  • Nearly the same as my s6 edge plus

  • Cannot wait for next year P series.... Its going to be awsome

  • A compact phone that is larger than the S7 Edge with the same screen size and the same size as the P9 plus which is a fraction of the price.

  • a dope phone!

  • Yet it is only 1mm smaller in height?

  • because they were after super compact device

  • not a Porsche Design but a galaxy edge design it seems Porsche makes copy or maybe Huawei is a cheater I think Xiaomi is the brand for china

  • Disappointing. At this price it should be water resistant and why did the screen size have to reduce from 5.9 inches compared to the regular version?

  • well the price will be totally expensive but so what we all know the porsche design before from blackberry and most of them were in the very stiff price either you want to buy it or not its your choice to spend it not by forced

  • Wish they could've added micro SD card support with this beauty.

  • Agreed

  • 1400 Euro!!! at least they managed to defeat Apple in pricing. lol!!!

  • i ll buy this extremely amazing phone in 2020, probably it will cost around 300 then..

  • Front resembles Samsung Galaxy S6 Egde way too much, looks almost like a copy.

  • oh my god 2016 - 2017 killer

  • Waiting for Hands on review!!! Looks beautiful though :)
