Huawei Mate 9 Pro - User Reviews

  • I have the Mate 9 Pro since 2017 and still going strong. Seriously, I am surprised I haven't experienced any degradation in performance or overall look and feel.

  • What are you on about? I have this phone and got it when Mate 10 Pro was about to release. This phone is better in every aspect, in my opinion, and not only that, I still have it 2 years later, it still works as new. This phone is AMAZING. So don't gimme that "2017 phone too old to use". Year doesn't matter as long as the phone is of good quality. And this one definitely was.

  • Of course get 2018 or 2019 phones, 2017 is too old to use

  • nice .. well, I'm not a hardcore player (just play Mobile Legend) but I prefer watching movies and youtube, good cameras, durable batteries and most importantly, quality 4G connections

  • have mate 9 pro and mate 10 pro, and im very happy with this phones. go for , in my opinion

  • it is still worth for 2019? or should i get other phone like huawei p10 plus or oneplus 5 or other recommendations

  • My Mate9pro is fantastique

  • Bad quality. The wifi stops working properly, and the phones restarts with no reason.

  • good phone, still using ,

  • hi, recently I got this Mate9pro, but performance or screen scroll is laggier than my previous Mate9. Also sometimes hardware keys freeze. Does someone meet same situation? I think something is wrong with my Mate9pro. android8.0, EMUI8.0.0.382 (c432)

  • Is this mobile waterproof also?

  • Mate 10 if u want play games ,better camera and better design

  • I do have Mate 9 Pro for 1.5 year now and must admit that this device rocks pretty well. Super efficient, smooth in everyday use, Google Maps work with no hiccup, since new got frozen only once which is decent score in believe:) Satisfaction with purchase 10/10

  • via recovery you can get new version of update

  • Mate 9 pro! have both of them 9 pro and 10 pro

  • This or mate 10

  • I think what you can do is to Master Reset the Phone.

  • Yeah, the face unlock feature is here now.

  • Hi.plz guid md.. My mate 9 pro Chinese version. But i want everything show in english.. Minimum things show China language but i want totally english display on my mobile. Plz help

  • i think the original Huawei mate 9 pro comes with an already installed screen protector. I didn't realize that and went to install one, the technician told me it doesn't need and showed me the one pre-installed on the unit. I bought this set from China

  • hello the battery in the Huawei mate 9 pro is bigger, also with quickcharge its really fast to charge it back up again. the mate 9 pro also has machine learning, it really helps keeping the phone fast and to get the maximum out of your battery. the camera is very good too. i'm not saying the oneplus 5 isn't good, but if you want a display that amazes you. the Huawei is your choice, with 1440 x 2560 pixels pixels, you get the best screen. the oneplus will have a lower resolution but with higher density. If you use your phone daily not that big of a diffrence.

  • New features face unlock so cool

  • of course Mate 9 Pro. Good battery lasting two day on average use, good sound, camera good, strongly built, usual updates, worth for the price. Am using it since Oct-17 without any issues. One plus also good. but my one plus 3 stuck with software udate. Nobody is able to rectify it. Lying idle and I am somewhat crying. But forgets everything when I use mate 9 pro.

  • Hi guyes.i want buy mate 9 pro and oneplus 5 i m confuse plz guide me whos the best 4 camera and bettry

  • I have the same problem. My sd/flash card is 128 gig and problem seems to be connected to camera gallery. Won't read the data but knows how much storage has been used. A day wasted driving me round the bend.

  • after upgrade to android 8 i have two issues: 1)the usb flash memory dont work when connected to mobile 2) dual sim dont work together , when iam in call and there is acall on the other sim it get no celleur

  • yea im waiting for face unlock.dont why huawei put all the latest feature on huawei nova2i since it only budget phone

  • Will the mate9 pro ever get face unlock?

  • How can i get os 8.0?

  • Dear, i have used my mate 9 pro 6/128 gb. But till now os 7.0. when upgrade to os 8.0. Anybody get os 8.0? Please tell me

  • Contact duplicity could be from having both Google contacts and SIM contacts enabled. Try disabling "show SIM contacts". Set it up to have only Google contacts enabled. Synchronization helps as backup and also you can manage your contacts more easily at contacts.google.com. (Do you use default call / contacts app?)

  • I have used my mate 9 pro for about 3 months now and really like it except that my contracts keeps messing up....they get duplicated several times and some contacts even get missing from my contacts even though they still remains there and such contacts can easily be located via true caller. It also at times merges some contacts at my blind side making it extremely difficult to locate such contacts until you receive call and realized that you are talking to a different person that what your contact depicts. Urgent help on how to correct this is required. Thank you.

  • thank you so much for replying... and i got it to ... but the whats app is consuming more than other apps .. is that ok ? its like 10% of all apps....

  • I got oreo update and it with perfectly in my phone, I am in KSA

  • Its a good phone in general, but there are 4 MAJOR issues: 1. While on call, the sensor always turn the screen on and you could expect calling any one of your contacts (which could be very embarrassing sometimes), or opening any application. 2. Video loading in gallery is a DISASTER, it takes very long time to load them, and if you have a large number of videos, it could take more than 15 or 20 minutes to load (even for 5 videos it takes some time to load) 3. Opening media in WhatsApp has the same problem. I don't how a 6-gig RAM device could have such an issue. 4. When you turn off wireless connection, it will automatically re-activate it once it finds a accessible wireless network. I don't recommend this phone if the above issues matters to you.

  • hi to all..... plz could someone in ksa confirm that he got oreo update? i didn't got it yet

  • me too have the same problem.

  • Actually I don't have an issue with battery but it's using 3GB of RAM with ALL my apps closed and some apps are lagging or crashing or going slow... Should not have updated...

  • i regretted buying huawei phone.got alot problem since i bought it.first i bought it got hardware problem after that one to one exchange still got problem after updating to oreo .i experience slow charging and standby hour/days drop from 3days to 1day only.totally disappointed huawei product.if still have problem after sent to service center i planned to sell it

  • Same here

  • anyone have draining issue after update to oreo? my battery suddenly drain very fast

  • Definitely the s8 and the plus variant don't feel cheap. I have tried both these models, but comparing some device who can hold up to the s8+ and saying the s7/edge are better,to me it all goes down to preference. Sure the water and dust resistance might turn heads for samsung in this case, but in terms of battery,phone to user experience,performance, huawei mate 9 pro outperforms the s7/edge and it's equal to s8/+ variant. Sure samsung might have the best screens,but it wont be the best once the pixels start turning black lol, ive had several samsung devices, and the s6edge+ is where i quit having one. The phone eventually will get old and it will lag. Having huawei m9 pro since a year now & there's no lag whatsoever ... I can easily get a day with 35-40% charge only thru facebook,music,instagram,whatsapp,skype and other several things

  • You can disable d application..

  • anyone here using mate 9 pro pls reply why i charge my mate 9 pro from 2 % to 100% takes 1hour 55min?is it normal ?bcz i saw gsmarena said 1hour 30min till full

  • Have L029 version. I am using the App drawer option because I like just one page of apps on my home page. However, the "Flipboard" news page is permanent on a second page. Cannot get rid of it. I have even uninstalled the flipboard app completely and it still won't let me get rid of the page. Any suggestions.

  • i get android 8 yesterday , the current version is android 8.0.0, im from UAE

  • does mate 9 pro have video stabilization?

  • well don't know if it is bad or not but in terms of battery life i get about 5-6 sot,with 4-5 hours of talking and a lot of wifi on,about 16 hours a day i'd say.

  • While i have not used S8, comparing to Mate 9 Pro, it looks bit smaller in size and comfortable to hold. But, otherwise with my experience, Mate 9 Pro is more stronger in terms of battery life, smooth and software, Looks also good. I like both, but prefer Mate9 Pro.

  • I got new Android orio / HMUI 8 update in Dubai on 11 Jan 17. Some screen / activities are simpler now. Dont find much other changes.

  • me too experience battery draining dont know what is the cause.but facebook and clean master is draining app .download force stop app to stop auto restart app

  • buy the new honor view 10 much better than this phone

  • do anyone get slow charging after update b235? slow 4 %

  • The app drawer is in the settings... Search drawer to find it... I think it's under the navigation menu

  • i don't know what to choose for the same price,the mate 9 pro or the samsung s8?some input from you guys who own this phone in day to day usage would be much appreciated,thanks a lot.

  • given that it has 4000mah battery, why does it drain so fast though ? only been using facebook and instagram but the battery life only lasts me for a day.

  • i don't know what to choose for the same price,the mate 9 pro or the samsung s8?some input from you guys who own this phone in day to day usage would be much appreciated,thanks a lot.

  • SOME BAD NEWS FOLKS. Have to send this phone back to the seller. Talked to Huawei Tech people. There are no US versions of this phone available. I bought an international version without realizing it. International version, at least the one I got, WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR OREO AND LATEST EMUI.

  • Just a follow up to my post from yesterday. Can anyone tell me why the only way I can send text messages to any of my 115 contacts, is if I add the "1" to the front of their phone number. Never had to do this with any of my other phones. That "1" for dialing long distance is so passe.

  • the sound quality from earphone quite dissapointed because i hear treble but not bass sony phone better in sound quality .not sure install equalizer will fix this

  • Ok, I bought one. Just got the gold Mate 9 Pro today. Up until now I have been using an Honor 8 which I really like. But hold on folks. This site's review clearly states that there is an app drawer on the Mate 9 Pro. Not that I can find. That is one of the things I really liked about the Honor 8 over my previous phone, the Honor 6X which did not have an app drawer. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to activate the App drawer somehow. Other than that, the phone is absolute marvelous. Christ I thought the fingerprint reader on the back of the Honor 8 was fast. This thing is ridiculous. Sometimes I think I just have to wave my pinky over the thing and it opens. Anyway, if anyone has an answer for the app drawer thing, please respond. Thanks

  • no i didnt get b235 update in malaysia

  • did you guys get the b235 update?

  • When Oreo update will get on middle East

  • Not yet, but hope to get soon. It is confirmed that Mate 9 Pro will get it.

  • did u guys alredy get the oreo update?

  • am in kenya, where can i get the best seller specifically in Nairobi

  • charging speed so slow .stated 30min 58% 1 hour 90%.i only get 43 % 30min 77% 1 hour

  • I have been using this for one week now. One of the best Android phone in the market. I must say the battery is excellent.36 hours usage and still remaining 40 percent...wow Camera is awesome both front and back. Sound is great very good clarity. And the performance is super fast.Games,Messengers,Facebook,LinkedIn,browser.­..multi tasking....super fast.

  • Galaxy S7 is that you?

  • the battery stated 2 days use but i only get through the day only by watching youtube,facebook whatsapp no playing games

  • i bought mate 9 pro .but why the charging speed not as fast as stated .stated 1 hour charge will get 90% but i charge 1 HOUR only get 83%

  • go. to eBay u will see reliable sellers

  • I'm also thinking to go for mate 9 pro, but could anyone suggest a good seller who offers a warranty as well? Any ideas, please?

  • i having hard time to decide between samsung s8 or mate 9 pro?which is better?samsung s8 has pro and cons and mate 9 pro has pro cons too.i only like the samsung s8 because samsung offer to user rewards using mysamsung app but mate 9 pro doesnt. mate 9 pro is better in terms of storage ,ram,battery compare to samsung s8.so which should i choose?

  • Yes, it have

  • Does this phone have blinking LED notification light??

  • Mate 9 pro cause its speed-gaming no-lag

  • i used huawei mate 9 pro is good , no-lagging , beautiful design i love it

  • I would like to hear your experience with the new phone .. Pl share. You can check ebay for film screen protector or temepered glass screen guard. If tampered glass, go in for black colour as, once fixed, you will not find the glue marks which otherwise is visible on transparent one. All the best, enjoy.

  • Finally I brought mate 9 pro yesterday 😀 it's a good phone, but hard to buy a screen protector

  • Finally I brought mate 9 pro yesterday, it's so nice! But hard to find casing😅

  • I have ordered fresh tampered glass screen from ebay. hope that would be better. Understand from experts that screen guard is not necrssary, its only a phychological feeling. But i too prefer one and is waiting.

  • Thank you for your advise, but if without tempered glass I will feel my phone unsafe >

  • I don't find any reason to regret if you buy Mate 9 Pro. I am very happy. Even i changed its theme to luxury/gold and it looks so Royal ! Perfomace - Better than S7, One+3 which i have used. Of course Note 7 (the old) was my favourite. One Advise, dont peel of or replace its original screen gaurd. Its good. With the tampered glass that i put, slight poor touch sensitivity i feel ...

  • I'm not a iPhone fans too, I love Android, now Note FE (note 7) already can buy, but I still considering to buy mate 9 pro or mate 10, any suggestion?

  • Lool at the specs, it has many advantages over s7 edge, aside from the ip rating.

  • so.. basically a galaxy s7 edge knockoff.. so a cheaper version of the trash I'm trying to replace. wew.

  • Almost the same. Only the screen is different. On Mate pro is AMOLED with better resolution, but probably a shorter battery life because of this. It's also almost half a inch smaller then screen on regular Mate 9. The most important thing for me is "burned-in" effect on AMOLED screens. If this wasn't so big problem for me (I'm a power user), then I will go for Samsung again (my previous phone was SG Note).

  • mate9 or mate9 pro?? which one is better??

  • This or the iphone 7 plus/lg v20/oneplus 5/mi 6/ moto z (sd820)?

  • Yes, Infrared port

  • Does the pro also come with IR

  • though I am not much interested in camera/video, I felt clarity is better in mate9 pro. Maybe because its resolution is better over one plus 3. I took videos and watched it on 49inch 4k tv, its clarity iss very good & smooth without cuts/breaks. at present I have not faced any flaws in the mobile. moreover it has built in application for clearing catch memories and virus scan, etc. good in my opinion. My most liked was galaxy note 7 which unfortunately is not everywere now. Next alternative ...couldbe ... nokia 9 as per current reports. I am not a ipone fan at all., sorry

  • Thank you, veegee I would like to know about the camera and video, are both of its bad?

  • Yes, it is available

  • fantastic phone.. only drawback on camera ..light streak when phone taken under spotlight etc..

  • I was using one plus three since its launch. two weeks back i bought this Mate Pro-9. Its comparatively faster smoother and batter better. I liked it over the one plus three which considered to be one of the best phones. My opinion is Mate Pro 9 is superior. Only i feel their software update is slower.

  • I am confused to buy mate 9 pro or note 5, I heard that mate 9 pro have over hear and battery consume issues, anyone can give me some opinions?

  • Best phone i ever had. I had the Samsung s8. but the ante 9 pro is faster!

  • for auto setting, p10plus bright and better in low light, mate 9 a bit less. but mate 9 pro got manual setting camera, p10p dont have

  • Kindly advise if this phone is available in kenya and price.

  • Is there a Available Huawei Mate 9 Pro at Philippines ? Ho much is the Price Range ?

  • how is quality its camera comparing to Lg G6? your guys' recommendation. thanks

  • Not to mention the pro mode of Leica certified camera and battery. heat control is excellent as well. Can't imagine what the Mate 10 pro would be.

  • this is the best Android phone from my experience! build quality is better than most of the others including Samsung. performance is superb due to the kirin 960 and 6g ram, probably the best combination in the Android world currently.

  • Mate 9 pro is the better choice!! it took only 4 % power consuming within 7-8 hour and with no wifi connected ,it consume 0 % of battery.Overall of the performance is good,good quality shooting,perfect gaming experience and no other big issue on high graphical gaming,it's boot any of your app can load faster without waiting long time for loading .But recently found a big issue that it's quite consuming the battery life,i'm not sure whether is the background apps problem or not,it consume me 15 % battery within 7-8 hour with the phone is not awake .

  • mate 9 pro is better

  • Mate 9 pro

  • Really great Camera specially in pro mode

  • please can any one tell me which one is the good P10 Plus or Mate 9 Pro i am confusing for purchasing. Thanks

  • can u plz tell me about the camera experience because i want to buy a cell phone having edges with the best quality of camera samsung got me but it have many issues as the pink line of death now adays i cant buy samsung it broke my trust i was just looking for another smartphone i thought huawei would be the best then first i looked for p10 but i saw there were no edges as were on s6 or s7 edge and on the mate 9 pro camera performance i dont know which to buy suggest me plz

  • it has ois

  • It is an AMOLED screen made from Samsung, so it is the same screen quality as the Galaxy devices with Super AMOLED screens.

  • What do you think about the screen?? Is it as good as the amoled displays of Samsung??

  • ois?

  • How much is the 128gb variant as of now? Thanks!

  • Great device! Only gripe is the lack of developers. Would have preferred a cleaner ROM, like LineageOS.

  • Best phone I have ever owned. Everything works... And works well.

  • It's same as Samsung edge plus How Will it race with Samsung As it's cost far more than that

  • I think Huawei mate 9 pro is the best phone I have ever used;NOTE: my previous phones were Samsung,note5 & S7/IPhone 7,I think it's the best in term of hardware, very few software issues, but thankfully they got fixed by updates, the battery surely will stay longer than normal mate 9 because the screen is Amoled instead of IPS and the screen is smaller alittle bit. Go for it and look for the 128GB with 6 GB ram.

  • Guys how is the battery on this beast phone? I used Mate 9 before and it gave me 8 hrs of screen on time Is the pro version any better?? In general, what do u think about the phone? Shall i look into it or focus on P10 ? Thanks guys.

  • can you please send the phones to the african to please

  • Did you find a solution to the screen dimming? It is bothering me too

  • Thanks bro. Pl let me know where can i get Huawei Mate 9 Pro Titanium Grey 128 Gb at reasonable rate in India as Shopmonk also doesnt have stock now .

  • Yes ;-)

  • Huawei Mate 9 pro is available for Rs 33480 fr Grey 128 gb on shopmonk. Should i sell my Samsung A9 pro bought on June 6th for Huawei Mate 9 Pro ?? Would this b worthwhile ???

  • I've the phone since it's been released, you can easily switch the data between the two SIMs and both support 4G.

  • you can switch data from sim1 to sim2, but sim 2 only support 3G. 4G only for sim1

  • Excuse me, can your phone switch data network? I mean, let's say you are using Sim1 and ran out of data, can this phone switch to Sim2 and most importantly run on 4G just like Sim1? Thanks in advance

  • Price of Huawei Mate 9 pro has reduced drastically to Rs 33000 around while it was 57k rs around till se time ago. Now is it worthwhile to sell my Samsung A9 pro for it which i purchased for 26k on 6th June 2017 ??? Is Huawei Mate 9 pro better than Samsung A9 pro ???

  • Does it work with Verizon?

  • The main function that I love the most in my mate 9 pro is the fastest fingerprints scanner that I had ever tried. No other smartphone can ever beat Huawei. Functioning well even with damp or cold fingers.

  • Hi! Was planning to get mate 9 pro from china too. How is the phone working for you? And how much did it cost there? Heard it was pretty cheap. Thanks

  • It just got sued for false advertising of Mate 9 Pro in China

  • Every day I listen radio on my phone. I don't like mobile without fm radio.

  • Available only thru sites like Shopmonk.com , Ebay.in & amazon.in & that too very expensive ie around 58-65 k Rs .

  • I'm not familiar with the new generation of huawei.. as they use their own chipset, does they provide regular updates for their phones? Are their last year line-ups get Nougat update?

  • you have 128gb on it. it's lot of space. you don't need a card slot.

  • Everything seems great but no memory card slot?? NOOO!

  • Same here. I simply do not swim with it.............

  • Maybe the Best Android phone available. bought this in March and am very happy with it. Super fast FP reader, camera, charging, wifi connection Primary camera is the best available - you will not be disappointed. Quick focus and snaps really fast. Excellent audio. hardly reboot this phone and it's very stable. only drawback is that it is not waterproof.

  • Samsung S8 is a gimmick . Yes it has a good camera (same as S7, no upgrade). And it is using the new looking screen with no real benefit . S8 is a overpriced hype .

  • It's the display bad like in Samsung S6 Edge? That one cracks just standing in pocket.

  • this phone is better than s6e, take a look at the memory, camera and CPU.

  • performance i think maybe goes same since they use same hisilicon kirin 960, but battery with be mate 9 pro better cause got different amount mate 9 pro 4000mah, p10 plus 3750mah. if camera for indoor (low light) with be p10 plus a bit better than mate 9 pro, but mate 9 pro win at outdoor. i'm user of mate 9 pro. tq,..

  • there is mate 9, mate 9 porche design (which is basically dark grey or black), p10, p10plus, p10 lite, still left out the honor series, the y series, the enjoy series.... GOD HOW MANY PHONES DO THEY MAKE.... I LOVE HOW IPHONES OR GALAXIES ARE SIMPLER... SO YOU KNOW WHICH ONE TO GET

  • mate 9 pro or P10 plus , which one is better at performance3 n battery life guys ??

  • How can I buy this in Myanmar?

  • where is the audio frequency response graph in the review?

  • The s8 aint plastic so did you even see one b4? This is overpriced when you can buy the s7e & get ip68 & the benifit of sd card & samsungs accessories which make competition look lame. Even an s6e or s6e+ is gettable at half the price if water proofing is not important. I also think 6g ram is a waist as a samsung does just fine on 4 & from reviews it seems this has ram issues around 4.5g & kills aps like 1plus3. Too much ram & heavy background app use will cost battery life. How many apps is enough? I have 2note7s & an s7e & they hold apps fine if you have it set up right. The Chinese phones are the same but even more complicated setting up app data access & ram management. & the 2 cameras do nothing really h the Samsung camera on the note5 is just as good as is the s7&s8 camera. Focus later on after the pic has been an option for a while on samsungs camera software & hardware. Look at reviews & they should tell you the same. Im going off what I know with real testing of a p9 & redmi pro with the x25 & I see no real benifit to 2 cameras yet.peace out

  • Did anyone get Google Assistant working on non-chinese Mate 9 Pro? I have an LON-AL00 and i was thinking to change region but did want to void the warranty for nothing.

  • Hello Did they upgrade the camera to have the same performance as the P10?

  • 12mp lens is enough the 20mp is for the manual mode user which i still dunno how to use it 12mp with hybird why 20?

  • some time ya need restart the phone ram update came few days ago slightly better oneplus 3 have a issue with 820 it max clock to 4.5gb ram max

  • 128 with 6gb ram to push the memory

  • Is this phone avaible in czech rep.?

  • using this smartphone last two weeks and everything is perfect for me. the only annoying problem is when using apps like chrome, messaging, dialer, calender etc display gets dark. is there a way to disable it?

  • Thanks for the tip. let me try it out..

  • How is the battery on this phone? Sad it has no water resistance, but i think it will be alright. Both my old note 2 and iphone survived laying in the window in the bathroom playing music so I think this phone will survive too.

  • No Card Slot. Die!

  • dude this is not problem in the phone.this is happening, bcoz u have contacts in your gmail. this is happens only with contacts that have been saved in gmail. go into contact and then delete its link with merge contact.

  • Best phone I ever used. Highly recommended if you can afford. Bought from Thailand as not available in India. Premium Quality in every aspect. Topnotch Camera, Sound Quality, Display, Battery. Software is also great, using for 2 Months now.

  • This phone is great I am using it for quite some time and i have to admit it is just a great phone , fast charging , has a remote, amazing display and sound and have not incountered any major issues . highly recomend it, and by the way I have tried most of the phones you name it this one is different.

  • Exactly Manish, i also experience the same issue with contacts, the name of the actual contact will be displayed as someone else's name, when i delete, it will be fixed but after some time it will be the same again. i think there is issue with contact syncing. 2 days back i received a software update but it did not fix any issues. Hope the next software update 5.1 will fix the issue. By the way did you bring the phone to Huawei service center already?

  • Same

  • Yes same problem with my phone and one very unique problem is that my contacts persons names keep changing.....

  • just checked this phone out at stores. Was not impressed by this phone on pictures but now seeing it in real life actually change my mind. Feels sleeker and more premium than the P10 plus. I would pick this over the P10 plus unless someone is interested in the very slight camera upgrade or the green and blue colors of the P10 plus.

  • Mate 9 Pro is a good phone, but when I use the stock contacts app, some parts of the screen is non responsive on touch. I had brought the phone to Huawei service center but they formatted the phone and said they have replaced the software on the phone and fixed the issue!!! but still the non responsive is present. The ram management is also not as smooth as One Plus 3 which has also 6GB ram. In the case of battery usage, it last upto 2pm plugged out at 6am with usage of 4G always on, bluetooth connected, social media/email usage and phone calls. while i was using Note 7 which had 3500mAh battery it lasted only upto 12pm where as on 4000mAh i get 2 hours extra usage. Does anyone experience the non responsive on touch? kindly reply here.

  • It's simply the best phone on the market, and in a bulging market of awesome technology, that's some feat.

  • I was holding out for the Galaxy S8 - When I saw it in the shops, I thought it was naff and cheap - far too much plastic... Then I picked up this, then Mate 9 Pro. It's everything that I hoped the Galaxy S8 would be, and more. It has a real quality feel, the dual Leica camera is sublime, it's fast, the battery is great, and has more RAM than any other phone. I bought it on the spot, fell out of love with Samsung (after having the S3, S5 Neo, the Gear S3, several TVs and a fridge) and started a new relationship with Huawei - I've even learned how to spell Huawei correctly. This phone is easily the best Android phone on the market, if not THE best phone... mine has been unplugged now for 11 hours 30 mins and has 69% battery left, and I have been using it quite extensively. Even though it's one of the most expensive phones you can get, it's worth every penny, and I am very happy with my purchase.

  • for camera, you can choose to auto or manual mode. if you got manual mode setting for best picture, please teasch me.. hihi.. tqvm

  • I really want to purchase this device.when it will be available in Germany stores?

  • What is the audio codec IC using in Huawei Mate 9 Pro?

  • Hi!, does anyone knows how this camera specifically works? can I take a fully 20mpx color pic? or is it like some sort color emulation?

  • I saw this phone in a store, I tested it and took a picture with 20mpx, however I am still unsure if the colored picture was taken in 20mpx or 13mpx as I heard that the 20mpx are only for mono pictures, can someone please tell me how this camera works for pics in color? thanks!!!

  • i just bought it.untill now i used a huawei ascend mate 7 3gb/32gb.if mate7 was ,in my opinion, the best phone, the mate9pro is out of this world.i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • could u guys tell me how to show time in lock screen? and other one when the phone is in the pocket the volume sound is very loud althought the ringtone volume in level 1. Help pls

  • No, you should not!

  • I've bought one from China, really liked the device. Superb battery, superb performance, good camera, elegant body, superfast charging, good launcher. Display brightness could be more. It comes with a pre installed screen protector and a transparent case. I've ordered a genuine leather Qualino case for it, let's see :)

  • F/2.2 or no slow motion honor makes high quality mobiles but price higher than performance

  • UK marketed yet??? Been waiting since it was announced last year and still no more news yet :(. Makes me sad as I would take this without a thought compared to the p10/p10+.

  • No. But u can contact with online sales shop in Bangladesh. Recently they have started online store in Bangladesh, they can supply on the basis of pre order

  • I love Huawei

  • is this phone available in bangladesh???/

  • What with them two?

  • I prefer Nokia 3210.

  • I am sorry I may be mistaken can any one provide right answer is it full active or not ?

  • Yes both are Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS) technology which enables them to have two active SIMs with only one transceiver. Yes you can use the two sims together one will be in (4g/3g) the other one will be (2g)and arealky cool feature of that phone is that you can choose which sim to use (4g/3g) and which to use (2g) Without replacing their places.

  • Mate8 is dual sim dual active mobile. What about mate 9 pro? Is dsda?

  • iphone 7 plus or huawei mate 9 pro?

  • Thank you.

  • Nope,one is on 4G and the other will be on 2G or 3G. Don't think any phone out there can do both 4G simultaneously.

  • SIM 1 4g sim2 3g works simultaneously

  • 4+2

  • My question is: Does dual SIM on this phone works with 4G network for both SIM at the same time? Because most phones with dual SIM have one SIM on 4G but the other SIM is forced to be on 2G only. Please confirm.

  • plz where i can find this device in Houston ?

  • it has curved edge, but way different from Samsung gs7e, this is Porsche design, looks more elegant not rounded like egg.

  • yes

  • People who are after an Iphone built quality and super Android performance at 20% to 30% cheaper comparatively should go after the Mate 9 Pro .There is no similar package like that around.Dual sim and 128 GB plus 6 GB RAM are insuring it to be the best Android for the months to come regardless what Samsung will try to promote.That Phone is the best i had.

  • Very good copy of original S7 EDGE.

  • Is this radio 'voice over LTE?'

  • Hello! I would like to ask you, does anybody know/confirm that second sim card support 4G lte bands? I can find sometimes yes and sometimes no. It is very important to me and big reason to buy or no. Thank you!

  • You might wait for it mates. Also, the mate line is better. Just like the Note line over the S line of Samsung

  • Does it feature some kind of Nokia Glance screen?

  • So what you are saying is a) you speak for everyone and euro and b) if you do everyone in euro sounds like a straight up jerk for judging people based on their device choice.

  • Have you restarted your phone last year, because of the lag? Because you have said that you have a "lag" last year. :)

  • I am using S6 edge plus. The exterior of the phone is very nice. But the battery is very poor. And now it is a bit lag (1 year). The camera performance is very good.

  • Really?~~~

  • 13h of full usage...phone, whatsup, more than 150 emails -email exchange , Wi-Fi hot spot provider....during all day. and battery last for 13h. amazing . really another world.

  • I use this phone for about a month right now. The battery is so juicy, last for 12 hours with dual W.A, FB, and with others apps running at the background. I have no complain about the camera, this dual camera powered by leica lens is so amazing. The body of this phone 2 steps forward from all smartphones. The fingerprint sensor is the fastest, even iPhone 7 and 7 plus cannot compare with this phone. But, when we talk about the OS update, until now, I still put big doubt that Huawei will give this phone the OS update or latest EMUI 5.1. The biggest concern for you who wants to buy this phone is the price and resale value.

  • both slots are 4g im not sure if still working at desame time!

  • Guys who ever arr thinking to buy this phone, I was an iphone user then an Android; my last device were Samsung S7 and Note5.... trust me guys Huwaei is another level; it's the best. You will think that you were in hell before that phone.... the signal 📶 is always full... battery life is super.... sooo faaast.... so many functions..... and dual sim

  • Hi, Could you confirm that SIM 2 can work with 3G insted like P9 Plus only 2G. Here in Australia there is no 2G at all.

  • i think waiting for s8/s8 plus is better

  • I have had this phone for just over a month now and haven't had any problems at all. The camera is out of this world. Shame about there not being a space for an extra SD card, but dual sim and 128gb memory means it isn't really an issue. Would highly recommend it as you will be hard pushed to find anything comparable at a similar price.

  • I think you have to wait until the roll out of the P10 and then compare it with this mate9 Pro

  • If you dont have any issue with price, then go! this is great phone with high price!

  • Thanks !!

  • im really confuse, do i buy mate 9 pro or no??? i use honor 8 and its great, im looking now for 6 GB RAM... so what do u think...?

  • Refering to the danish proshop: 0.98 W/kg (body) / 0.96 W/kg (head)

  • how about sars ? what is the value for this?

  • How come this is a pro mate?Pros needs removable battery.

  • Huawei's software support is not good at all, I bought a regret

  • S6 edge..? Is someone getting sue?

  • Totally fake devices u got..liar

  • Go for it, the camera is stunning

  • Hello guys, i heard that this phone is a beast: great processor ... I'm really into photography and i want my phone to be good in rendering videos and have an amazing camera and pro mode and ...... Do you think i should go with this phone or wait till the unveiling of Lg G6 and the Huawei P10 ? And is the Huawei's Mate line better than the P line ? Thank you

  • I just love this phone.yes I know that it has a problem with software but they are going improving.

  • They are selling for 2-2.5k, are these inflated prices, where did you buy one?! Put's iphones pricing to shame

  • This is near the price the Galaxy s8 will be, wait for that, in addition you get iris scanner, no bezels, water resistance, much better camera

  • Obviously. Not.

  • Damn...If this phone have a SD Card slot,i would've bought this phone instead of the S7 Edge...lol

  • You are Big Liar.

  • Yes, it have. It is called App Twin in the settings where you can set to use two different account whatsapp and facebook on the device.

  • Can I have two wats app and Facebook accounts on this mobile.. Does it have a block out of the dual Sim if user so desires

  • I always try to use two phones, an IPhone and an Android phone, on a daily basis to compare and keep up. Now I am using this one, in the Porsche Design variant, which is exactly the same except it is uglier than the Mate 9 Pro (the "Porsche Design" logo is emblazoned across the top in huge letters and looks awful), but has twice the memory. It is an excellent device, the best Android phone I've ever used with the possible exception of my late-lamented Galaxy Note 7, with its very slightly better camera. The Mate 9 Pro and my iPhone 7 Plus seem exactly equal in terms of overall quality and capability. Each does some things better than the other. One serious problem with the Huawei having to do with switching between languages, seems to be local. The iPhone takes dictation in both English and Thai without any problem. The Huawei confuses them, mixing Thai words into English dictation and vice-versa. Sometimes the Thai words are obscenities, so I suspect hacking of the local service provider rather than a problem in the phone itself, but this never happens with the iPhone. The notification system on the Mate 9 Pro is better organised. For my uses (I'm not a gamer) both phones are equally fast, practically instantaneous in any application. The iPhone is water-resistant, the Mate 9 Pro isn't. Try to ignore the rants, "fortune cookie", etc that inevitable appear in comments columns like this. Most are written by 14-year-old fanboys who have never had their hands on the Mate 9 Pro or any other in its price range, and spend a lot of their time sitting around jerking off over specs printed in reviews.

  • Please explain to me how is Huawei a chinese fortune cookie ? They have higher quality standards than any other manufacturer(military standards). Also their telecom hardware is used everywhere(because of quality and affordable prices compared with Alcatel, Nokia and Ericsson). See also collaboration with Leica (why is not Leica working with Samsung). I agree on their software , but they are improving. I see Huawei as one of the major players of 2017 in the smartphone market. Also not all the people are so shallow that they have to be seen with an IPhone or a Samsung blowing up phone.

  • I don't know about you guys, buy in Europe if you're seen using a chinese fortune cookie people laugh at you and think you're either too poor, either too greedy. And speaking from a technical point, their OS sux, the software optimization is crap, there are no service centers and you can forget about software updates! I wonder how many phones they sell outside China and India frankly.. These are the only phones worth checking:

  • 0.3V for Mate 9. You are guaranteed to have 0.3V/2.0V=15% of the total volume from your amplifier. Fantastic (!) performance for a phone sold at iPhone7 Plus prices, right!?

  • Very curious about the audio output for wired headsets also.

  • I'd really like to see a review of this device soon. Thank you.

  • When will you post a review? I am mostly interested in the audio part.

  • This phone is single sim (Nano sim), dual sim Nano sim (dual stand by). So it has the two versions. But has no SD card slot. It's 64 - 4, and 128 - 6 gigabytes.

  • 64 gb with 4 gb ram available in bahrian..

  • It comes with 2 versions, check it out your self

  • Nobody is lying. The video you were watching was probably either the porsche version or the regular mate 9. The mate 9 pro is single sim, comes with 128gb storage with no expansion options.

  • may i know you mobile color ?

  • The display it's like, (from) Samsung s6 edge? That one it's very weak. It breaks Very Easy.

  • When can i buy it in Cyprus ?

  • Buy Vanilla Mate 9 it's worth for money and if you are looking for further value then go for OP 3T, I own Mate 9 vanilla and iPhone 7 plus but when it comes to best bang for bucks then there is one king that's One plus 3T without doubt

  • Same and same fast charging so it comes to personal preference

  • It's 2999 AED wich is about $820, 128GB

  • In Dubai its rate pls

  • which have the good battery life between the oneplus 3t and mate 9 pro?

  • edge phone😲 omg...👍

  • Hello, where in Dubai did you buy it from? Did you buy it online then got it delivered to Qatar?

  • Its available in Dubai right now and i got it delivered it in Qatar today

  • Ceramic white not available in Uae

  • You have never touched Huawei that's why you don't know what a smartphone is, because you only use very expensive phones with less features. Huawei gave more features than Samsung and the worst apple, people are crazy to buy eaten junk apple

  • It's not available in Turkey, yet. But there are some imported devices and being sold at approximately 1000-1100 Euros. It's too much expensive for the Turkish region. I don't think that this device will not officially being sold. For this money, you get an iPhone7 128GB. I'm sure that there are many people who will do that instead of buying an Huawei.

  • Dis fone ist fast af.

  • Dude it does use SD card go watch video or something totally false it does.

  • Why is everyone lying on here the pro does support SD card I just watched video of them using one are people confused about how to use it

  • Is this phone dual active like mate 8?

  • Dude China and Korea are different countries

  • Could anybody pls tell when it will be at Qatar or Nigeria?

  • I agree with you, it's the smartest thing i've ever read.

  • You say Chinese phones are no good then name one that's not made in China. iPhone, Samsung,Sony, LG to name a few are all made in China with the possible exception of HTC so next time you pick up your Samsung or iPhone just remember it's made in China which makes it a Chinese phone.

  • Just arrived today in Dubai!

  • Looks like samsung a well copyied design thats bad. Also only a gorila glass 3 for such an overpriced phone.

  • Why can I not seem to find this anywhere available in the UK on contract? I even went into EE store and they'd never heard of it?!

  • This great phone, it has IR Blaster :)

  • It is an interesting smartphone,I would prefer a little bit wider, but it seems to hace a good camera and generous features. Unfortunately is not water proof.

  • It's true. In pictures this looks like samsung edge. When i was at the shop to look at it, the curve/edge is not that extreme as on samsung. This look better i think. The price is high but it will drop . Very nice phone . I dont know much about audio on this one so i guess that is one reason i will not buy this phone yet.

  • I've had this phone for a week now and I absolutely love it. Feels really great in the hand and it's lightning fast. It comes with a case and a pre-installed screen protector. Runs on Android 7.0 out of the box which is a nice upgrade from my previous phone (LG G3) which ran on 5.1. The battery life is ridiculously long. I haven't had it dip below 30% in the week I've had it and that's from playing with it all day (settings, camera, YouTube, games, etc.) The Super Quick Charge is crazy fast as well. Faster than Quick Charge which really says something 😉 The 128Gb storage is great, too. Definitely recommend this phone to anyone thinking about getting it. If Huawei keeps this kind of work up, Samsung and LG are gonna have to watch their backs.

  • hello, Please help me here, is this phone have Wi Fi calling future?

  • who are "WE" in this sentences. You need to learn to accept the truth dude. I saw the phone and touched it by my self. Its design just looks a bit similar to S7 edge but it has just a little bit curve and the point is it's BEAUTIFUL THAN THE S7 EDGE and convenient to hold it in my hand than the ugly S7 edge!

  • This looks awfully similar to Samsung''s current crop of devices. You can see where they drew inspiration from. It might might sell in Asia, and Africa but here in UK (and Europe) we still love Samsung.

  • No water-resistant I/P?? No Micro SD slot??,, at this very high price???.. Holyshit!!!

  • Why would a chinese phone be worse than any other?

  • For those who says this phone doesn't worth it cause they has never get hold on this phone... I has been Samsung and iPhone user for many years... If I can keep my s7 & iPhone 6 in the phone box, this means this phone is serious sh1ts... Dual active sum card, 6gb ram, 128 go and high megapixer for rear and front camera... What else u need? The phone is insanely fast... Finger print is like one touch buttons... Price is abit steep for China phone... Trust me... It is worth every penny...

  • One of the best. Your Apple and LG isn't interesting, that's for sure.

  • It is not the best phone for sure. It is a chinese phone after all.

  • Um, I actually had the Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z3, and they weren't smooth at all. They lagged, and the UI was awful. Not buying a Sony phone, that's for sure.

  • Have you used Sony phone? Without feeling its smoothness and quality you post negative comments.

  • Huawei obviously had a communication problem regarding the SD-card with this phone, but they totally leave their mislead customers in the dust, they don't care about us. There was no indication on their website that their flagship was the only one that didn't have SD-card and lot's of other sites were apparently mislead to believe that it had. So never Huawei again.

  • No, I was totally shocked when I received the Mate 9 Pro and it didn't have the SD-card. Lot's of sites are still reporting that it has SD-card, but it doesn't. I'm so unhappy with this phone.

  • ready i´m the buy today

  • copycat? this is like s6 edge and s7 edge mixed together. they need to make something like mi mix.

  • Even worse.

  • Wrong. I'm currently using a Vertu and a Sony.

  • It is interesting to read all the comments from people who has desided, i repaet desiden, that Huawei is no good, at the same time you get the feeling, no one has tried their products. I have the phone above. The design is clearly inspired by S7 edge and HTC 10, including the quality. The phone is also insanely fast, long batterilife, insanely fast fingerprintscanner etc etc The only thing i miss is iP certification and despite a beatuful design, Huawei should be able to make their design. The version sold in Denmark comes with 128gb storage. My girlfrien own a S7, wich alows me to compare. Mate 9 pro is better in some areas(it is also newer), but lacks iP certifikation and own design language. But i agree with everyone who has made review, Mate 9 pro is the best currently the best phone. And to ignore Huawei is like Nokia and Microsoft ignoring iPhone and Android.

  • This phone has been on sale in Malaysia since December 23rd (with very limited stock I must say)

  • I have had this phone for a week now and I love it! I was a bit disappointed with the Note 7 release and then the Mate 9 didn't look very appealing (and was too big!) but then when this was announced it hit all the points I was looking for in a phone: 5.5in screen, good camera (inc selfie camera) 6GB of RAM, big battery, beautiful design... Yes, it is expensive for what we are used for Huawei but the specs and design are superb! The fingerprint recognition is scarely fast! I still miss the big edge screen on my old Note Edge but I guess I will get used to it. The grab on this one feel very secure and has the perfect size (Edge was too wide) One thing I do not like is that in the pictures the screen seem to reach the edges but actually it has a wider vessel than the S7edge which is disappointing and it does not have expandable memory, just deal SIM card. Although with 128GB storage you don't really need that much more memory. The rest, superb!

  • You wouldn't buy Chinese smartphones because you're simply an Apple or Samsung fanboy. lol

  • Stupid phone with stupid curved Samsung design. Which is also stupid. Curved design is nice to look at but otherwise it brings more problems than solutions. Its crap.

  • Huawei is crazy for asking, but it's the people who are stupid for buying a chinese brand for so much! I would never touch a Huawei even if they gave it for free! On top of it, this is nothing but a cheap replika of the S7.

  • Huawei has got to be crazy selling the phone with an insanely high prices almost 800 euros.

  • Totally agree.

  • no fm radio, no micro SD card slot and non-removable battery who knows what else is MHL available as part of usb functionality? and the price is about 800 euros. its the most sensible phone to buy.

  • Next version Huawei Mate 9 Pro ÷ ÷ 8 it's pink special Barbie edition 20,1 cam only 5k usd

  • Yes it is, anyway I'm using plastic cover, so my hands don't get cold when outside

  • It's confirmed - no microsd slot.

  • is the body metallic?

  • Hi Everyone who own this phone, I was thinking of getting one but I have a discrepancy on the specs listed on GSMarena.com. Does the phone take a microSD card? I remember once GSMarena stated "yes up to 256GB, uses SIM2 slot" but now it says "no." Please confirm if this phone can take a microSD card. Thanks.

  • Yes

  • Someone know when the mate 9 pro 128 giga will arrive to israel

  • and also scandinavia. im in sweden, i got phone month ago..

  • Guys, this phone is hasn't on the market yet. What kind of opinion have you got? We've seen what Chinese got.

  • Is that the price really? 2999 ? its too expensive

  • Screen on time for me is from 5 to 8 hours. No problem for 2 day normal usage... IF you keep it clean, and wont install any apps, normal usage will be extended to the limits, like 4hours will consume only 10% of battery...

  • Yes it's available in UAE in Jumbo Showroom mall of d Emirates 2999dhs fr 6gb ram/128gb Memory

  • Is this available in UAE?

  • anyone had already using this phone? how it's battery life usage? how many hours screen time on?

  • from jarir bookstore

  • I got the m9pro and was using the smart flip cover provided as a gift but when the front cover is closed, the smart function to pick up phone calls or change song isn't responsive as in need to push really hard for it to work. Anyone else facing the same issue ?

  • Can anyone tell me where to get this phone in Saudi Arabia plz?

  • how can i know that my mate 9 pro is suitable for my carrier ? ,, i'm using orange in egypt

  • Very very fast fingerprint recognition! As a previous Samsung S7 owner I wish the Huawei Mate 9 Pro have these features: Wireless charging SD or micro SD card Have not try "wetting" or dunking my phone in water yet so cannot comment!

  • where can i find this in KSA, can anyone please advice, i am in Dammam/Khobar

  • Expensive but superb specs.

  • Ordered one yesterday, real nice specs!

  • Yes, My mobile Carrier is Zain, But is there any method to enable it in my phone?

  • The Mate 9 Pro is awesome, I was saying that the S7's edge feature is a useless gimmick.

  • yes its there in mate 9 pro

  • It looks much more curvy on pictures than irl, it is a fantastic phone in all terms..

  • Zain only

  • Hi, I have purchased this phone yesterday in KSA, and i would like to ask if it has VOLTE? I have searched and found that Volte is enabled in my mobile carrier, but does the phone have it?

  • Sorry, i found it. no idea if restart helped or im blind.

  • Exactly, im from sweden. Another dissapointment that theres no Google Keep widget :D

  • All over Scandinavia in fact...

  • Yes, on the edges and on the top ( for example settings gear, is almost not possible to click and open settings ) Fingerprint is amazing really, but camera isnt that good, you need to stay steady to make nice photos, so nothing good really when ur hands shaking or when u try to take a picture of moving objects

  • It's already in Denmark :-)

  • The touchscreen is annoying and unresponsive 😭😭😭&#128­557; ?? I'm already bought it ( on shipping ) Can you explain to me what is the wrong of touchscreen ? And what about the camera ? Thanks

  • Dual edge screen?

  • And just to comfirm to all useless comments here: Huawei Mate 9 Pro 128gb/6gbram does not support any SD Cards! The phone itself feels amazing, but touch screen is verry annoying and unresponsive... Maybe because of default screen protector on it, no idea..

  • No, they got some apps, but all can be removed. I already got mate 9 pro

  • No, it's dual single pass sim, you can't use both simulatenously.

  • i'm asking if dual sim ( dual active sim ) like mate 8 or dual stand by like mate 9

  • When comes this device to Europe?

  • Seems a Vopmart error. No microSD slot on huawei.com:

  • 404 error

  • The mate 9 pro does support MicroSD expansion, you can refer to China website:

  • It's a pity. If they did so, that phone has no interest for me, compared to the Mate 9 non-Pro

  • Where?

  • dude you're wrong the mate 9 pro doesn't support MicroSD expansion only comes with two variants either 64GB with 4GB of RAM or 128GB with 6GB of RAM

  • Very Nice and strong Specification ... BUT ... weak design it looks like Samsung Galaxy S7

  • dual camera ,,,,,,,you can blur the picture near you when you take selfee

  • Today

  • When this is going to be available for purchase?

  • can any one tell me exactly what are the advantages of dual rear camera?

  • The front looks exactly like the Samsung S6 edge+.

  • Does Huawei pre-install *that* much garbage?

  • Great Design! The Huawei Mate 9 Pro comes with a wide range of exciting new features that are satisfyingly intuitive to use. Storage: RAM 6GB / 4GB Storage 128GB / 64GB Card slot microSD, up to 256 GB (dedicated slot) - single SIM microSD, up to 256 GB (uses SIM 2 slot) - dual SIM The phone packs 64GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 256GB via a microSD card.

  • OnePlus wins easily in that regard

  • How is this camera ? Is it better than mi note2 I like its shape but its price is pretty high

  • Mate 9

  • I have the choice of waiting for the Huawei Mate 9 Pro or buying the OnePlus 3T now... For price there's no comparison but what I want are quick updates with very little (preferably no) extra "bonus" software from the manufacturer. How is OnePlus in this area vs Huawei?

  • If indeed there is no SD Card slot in this mate 9 pro version then this could mate some people's interest go than on it and make the choose Mate 9 over the the mate 9 pro. The fact is I don't like phones without SD Card slot but this phone is too good to be rejected. Any of the two that will come to my country I will buy.

  • this one

  • Huawei mate9 pro and huawei p9 which is better?

  • I want this!

  • what's the phone's performance in games and third party apps ? smooth ?

  • its already january 2017 and still this gadget not release yet. i can’t wait to have this

  • If Mate 9 Pro has no slot card, as it appears to be, then consider the Mate 9 is very good with 64Gb ans with a very fast 256Gb Samsung EVO+ µSDXC card... Regarding screens comparison, I have a Samsung S7 Edge and a Mate 9. I gave the s7 Edge to my wife because, to me, it is prehistoric, regarding Mate 9 : - Screen is much better on Mate 9 - Endurance is much better on Mate 9 - Pictures are good enough to me, both of them are bad inside and excellent outside. To my opinion, if Mate 9 Pro has no slot for SDCARD, he is stillborn

  • Well for mate 9 and mate 9 pro which is the best? I will choose mate 9 pro. Mind you the softwares is the same and same camera too. The difference is the size of the displays and the body design. 5'9 inches as against 5'5 inches and dual curved screen as against flat screen. The real difference is the display. Amoled again IPS LCD. IPS LCD displays crystal clear natural pictures. Amoled displays deep vibrant colours. The fact is the Amoled can exaggerate the picture to look better than it really is. So it depends on your personal choice and preference. Then again Full HD as against Quad HD. The Quad High Definition is better than the Full High definition. The Quad HD has higher pixil density and that can drain battery faster than Full HD but that is why Huawei sensibly kept the 4000 mAh battery although the pro version has a smaller screen than the mate 9. So brother the choice is your's to make.

  • Hello bro, Huawei Mate 9 is the best phone currently in terms of softwares and hardwares. but not the best in terms of camera. About 5 phones on the market beat it in terms of camera. Infact This mate 9 pro phone is better than Google Pixel XL but Google Pixel XL is more expensive than Mate 9 pro. But do not worry very soon like 6 months time the price will start coming down gradually so that every one can have one by the time mate 10 comes in October or November 2017.

  • could you tell me when this phone will release in United States or Saudi Arabia?

  • Nope. Useless gimmick.

  • Mate 9 pro official price is at 676$ for 4GB+64GB and 762$ for 6GB+128GB. The 800$+ price is by re sellers making lot of money.

  • January 20th 2017, rumored .. .

  • do the curves in mate 9 pro have any usage or apps like samsung ?

  • It's really more expensive (but still much less thanSamsung), because it's realy excellent ! And chinese people are not under-men. They have the right to make peaople pay for the value of their smartphones. Specially when you know (without speaking of taxes VAT and so on...), taht 30% of the price of those flagship smartphones are made of royalties paied to abusive patents.

  • i like huawei phone since all phone have full active dual sim card currently i have P9 but i notice now huawei phone become more expensive. the price for mate 9 pro now is 848$ which really expensive and for what there is no water proof phone the camera is good but not perfect the updating on the phone really slow. so can anyone tell me why the phone really expensive now

  • Help me pls .... mate 9 pro or P9

  • Honestly, if you don't need more that 64 Gb internal storage (+ til 256 Gb SDCard), Mate 9 is the best. To my opinion... and will be less expensive. This for the international version. And if you are a geek, fan of XDA forum and so on, you could event buy a chinese Mate 9 with 6 Gb RAM / 128 GB storage and all SD extensions abilities. If frequencies a compatible with those of your country, and you'll have to be able to unlock bootloader and flash a ROM as well. Things i used to do, but i don't feel to do anymore, now i have gave up Samsung machines.

  • no! nano sim1 : 4g nano sim 2: 2g/3g

  • please help me....mate 9 or mate 9 pro??

  • Is the dual sim support 4G both?

  • My (personnal) criterias are : - No QHD, that hurts my (tired) eyes, and it is no use and drain the battery. - The biggest full HD screen possible, but not more than 6 " - No "Edge" if possible, 'cause i lost numerous emails and SMS with the s7 Edge . - Big battery and endurance. - Big internal storage and slot µSDXC. - Photo abilities are less important for me because even with a reflex, i'm not good at shooting pictures. My wife is a kind of magician at shooting pictures. I was no good with tje s7 and i am not good with Mate 9 camera. But my wife is able of excellent pictures on both of them :-) For me it is the best Android smartphone i've ever had (and i've had almost a dozen of them). I just would have loved that an international version of Mate 9 with 128 Gb would exist. The only reason that makes me looking around here about the Mate 9 Pro, is the internal storage amount. But i surely would prefer a Mate 9 non-pro, with 128 Gb internal storage. Sorry for my weak english.

  • Are this model really worth? How about low light picture? And quality of rear camera video(ois)? Because now i got this phone and s7 edge on ghe list, but need to choose... Please help me. Tqvm

  • Huawei is better than Samsung now

  • mate 9 pro 6gb/128,, or waiting for the samsung galaxy s8 ?

  • Hello, I already have a Mate 9 (non pro). In my opinion, it relegates the s7 Edge i had before... to ancient times :-)

  • This is my personal view for the Pro version The screen actually is not that curve.. only the glass is curve covering the screen the camera performance not that superb if compare with P9 Plus or S7 Edge/S6 Edge+ camera even it came with same engineer leica It feels funny the home button can even be pressed like samsung or iphone home button.. The price is too pricey skyrocketed like Iphone 7 Plus Price It's make me feel this phone need to compete Iphone 7 with strong features otherwise people with definitely chose Iphone 7, Samsung S7 Edge

  • Hm?

  • Though I trust you, I really can't imagine Huawei issuing 2 releases of Mate 9 Pro, with 2 slots, nano & micro, with the second slot permitted to be used with µSDXC cards on the 64GB model, but not on the 128Gb version. It would be commercially stupid from them. Sorry for my weak english

  • I have this phone (pro, 128Gig storage) and it does not support external SD cards. What you get is what you have. And 128Gig should be sufficient for most people. :) Otherwise I love the phone. A bit expensive but totaly worth it.

  • thts supposed to be Huawei Mate 9 Porsche

  • Hi, That means one camera black & white 20 Mp plus one color camera 12Mp, to elaborate the final picture. You can choose to use only the black & white camera if you want. Same as Mate 9 (non-pro)

  • whats mean by Dual 20 MP +12 MP, camera ?

  • when this phone will release to india.

  • I am totally eager to purchase one of these 6 gig ram models from My optus Service Provider I hope this model gets released in Australia soon Keen for a decent phone I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge It's an ok phone but bit slow & boring really I expected so much more from the S7 Edge Hoping this Huawei Mate Pro will be a smoother more reliable experience Especially with a 4 core processor & 20mp cam & 6 gig of ram it would surely be the best choice I have considered.

  • how noise, voice, ring tone db & screen protection & sar value, thank you for all

  • Hi, It says it supports up to 256 gig External Memory & Some models have internal of 64 - 128 gig So it seems they do but don't quote me on it Contact huawei & ask I guess would be best option

  • when this phone in uk?

  • for one who bought it doest it support sd card? cause some said it is not supporting SD card!

  • OMG Finally ! ,, Tell me the price for the 6gb/128 mate 9 pro ,, i'm from egypt i'll buy it from china ,, any other issues i'll find except google play services ? any other problems ? and can i ask the dealer to put google play services on phone ? ,, thanks in advance

  • Is 6gb ram,128gb rom really dont have micro sd support??? :-(

  • Where in china did you buy the phone ?

  • I'm in china at the moment, the Mate 9 Pro was just release a few days ago, and believe me, it's been hard to get hold of them! I've managed to purchase two, and have it now. Nice phones. Picture quality is probably better than the iPhone 7, although it's hard to spot the difference. Build quality is top notch. These are Chinese phones I've purchased, really for Chinese market, my EE sim is working fine in it though! It's speech recognition is Chinese only though, my wife set an alarm by talking into it but had to use Mandarin to do that even though the rest of the system is in English. Although that said, it has a very useful feature of being to talk to it in English or Chinese and it will translate. It interfaces with WeChat really well, as you'd expect. Google Play was put on it by the dealer but is blocked in China...Huawei have their own store on the phones. On returning to the UK I should be able to use Google Play. I struggled to buy these as Mastercard and Visa are useless in mainland China! Don't travel to China with those cards! Anyway, I'm defecting from iPhone to this phone for now...we'll see if it works out, so far I'm happy with it.

  • Oh it's very obvious I can't get one of this phone for Xmas. Soooooo bad.

  • Hi, If you quoted me by mystake, please disregard. If not, I preordered my ZF3 Deluxe Special Edition, here in France, at www.materiel.net

  • from where did you make your order ? ,, china?

  • Many thanks. Please keep us advised about that point ! 'cause I have a Mate 9 wich is excellent, but only with 64 Gb (+ SD) And i'm about to buy the Zenfone 3 Deluxe "special" Edition, wich is 256 Gb internal storage (+ µSDXC) but has an "old" s821 and poor battery life. As i preordered, i'll be delivered by january 19th. BUT.... If your phone, is 128 Gb and does accept µSDXC extension on SIM slot #2, i have to change my mind and cancel my order... before the deadline. Thanks again, hoping your answer will be "yes, sd card is workin well in SIM slot 2" :-) Edit : I live in France where the Mate 9 Pro isn't already available.. But it should come out in january.

  • I live in Sweden and it was released yesterday here. I have the 6gb/128gb and I don't think there is a slot for a memorycard from what I can see. Haven't tried the second simslot yet though...

  • Hi you all, Hi Knuse, Can you tell us where you'r from, having been delivered so quick ? Did you order in China ? Did you get the 128 Gb internal storage ? If so, would you confirm second SIM slot can accept µSDXC card ? Thanks, and sorry for my english.

  • Got my phone today. Love it already!

  • there are some solutions for this problem on youtube ,, is that enough to buy this phone ?

  • Well, it's available in China, Sweden, Denmar, Norway and Finland .... I guess an import-site is an option too.

  • so where can i buy it :/

  • please try and include usb on the go like in gionee m6 and 6 plus as to enable us use our usb flash drive on the go i.e anywhere without necessarily carry our laptops all the time. please consider my view, its important.

  • My Mate 9 Pro is on its way today!

  • 5299 for the 128gb 6gb ram version. try not to get china version if u r not living in china. cause u wont have youtube and gmail google system apps

  • The sd card slot option is only for the 64GB ROM version. The 128GB ROM version does not have this feature.

  • i would take this phone only if the sdcard slot was separated from sim2 slot 😕

  • So many people say or claim that the Mate 9 Pro doesn't come with an sd-slot. Looking at the specs on this website it clearly states that it DOES in fact do so by using sim-slot 2 ... ------------------------------------------------­------------------------------------------------­---------------------- "MEMORY: Card slot microSD, up to 256 GB (uses SIM 2 slot) Internal 64 GB, 4 GB RAM or 128 GB, 6 GB RAM"

  • Hahaha!! Samsung issued 11 patent issues in court against HUAWEI but HUAWEI has already won 6 or 7 cases in which, curved screen issue was also there! I think Samsung is afraid of Huawei. Hahahahaha!!!

  • The curved on this one is so subtle that there is almost no curve at all when view from the side. Go look at the photo gallery.

  • Best phone ever !

  • guys i wanna know the official price now in china ,, i'm going there next week ! ,, wanna know the real price not the internet one for the 6gb ram version !

  • Did they steal S7 Edge designs or what?

  • Don't go for Xperia, Xperia are wastes. Mate 9 series Best ever.

  • Hi everyone, what you think - this one or Sony XZ?

  • Mi mix is a shit man, it's so much delicate and breakable, one thigh high drop can crack it's whole display,watch videos man, mi mix is a black spot in mobile design history. you don't like the curved screen phones, then regular versions of curved phones are present. So don't worry about curved screen. I feel this design stunning and elegant. Future? In future, you won't have phones man, you will have button sized gadgets stucked to your shirt. You can do all your application by only gestures or muscle contractions, future is so exciting man.

  • still didn't release in china ?

  • Is the Mate 9 Pro coming to the UK does anyone know? Thanks

  • Can manufacturers please stop this madness!! whats the deal with the curved screens. It was eye catching when the whole hype started, but not anymore. I want to see all of my screen. I don't want the sides curved. what purpose does it serve me but make my screen smaller coz i don't make effective use of the screen space at the sides. Please copy Xaomi Mi Mix. Make my bezels smaller but leave the phone flat. Give me more screen space, dont take it away. Plus the Mi Mix looks more futuristic and usefull with its screen space than this.

  • where can i buy this phone in chine ? did anyone buy huawei mate 9 pro ?

  • 5,299 Yuan in China.

  • no price yet, its expected to be between 5300-5800RMB for 6gb/128gb so circa about 920USD

  • Any answer please ?

  • Give video links to this huawei launch events. I want to watch it too.

  • Oh thank you my good friend Haroon, I really can't wait to make this phone my main phone. I need one badly. Need the pro because of the size. I don't like too big a phone. My best size is 5'2 to 5'7 inches. But if I get the regular Mate 9 I will buy. I need one.

  • Dearest the wise.A very beautiful present for the new year ! But hopefully, before its releasing 3 forgotten important things to be modified in specs to be rectified too !!!? USB V 3.1,a dedicated independent external memory,and radio to make it the most beautiful smartdevice qualities of 2017 !!!Do you think that it is possible !?I can logically predict that its price is above $1000+ !!!So,it has two rivals from the main land: Xiaomi Mix and Note 2 !! Justice Rights,Omid12Omidvar,sam,....

  • Huawei mate 9 pro price in china please ????

  • Yes man, Huawei has said it at launch event, this masterpiece has a self learning hardware which gets faster according to user's use over a period of time. It's absolutely amazing, ground shattering, absolutely crazy, insane, isn't it?? It's a new milestone in future smartphone industry, it's absolutely futuristic move from HUAWEI, terrific job Huawei, that's like a real champion brand.

  • Sorry man, but according to rumours, it will be released in first half of Jan 2017. But you should wait for it.

  • Yes friend, Huawei has said this at the launch event. This is insane!!! This is absolutely crazy!!! This is...this is of another level!!! This is a milestone in smartphone industry, isn't it??

  • 8% faster after using it a long time? Thats a first. Who claim such a thing? Did Huawei themselves claim this?

  • Hello, when it will release in the Philippines? And by the way, why is it dual camera on rear? What's special for this camera?

  • This phone beat all andriod phones, please see the specifications and other informations. i am waiting to buy this phone but still not released, i hope Huawei will release mate 9 pro before new year.

  • Dear Rich Waterious, Sorry i did bought Huawei, Mate - 8 mistakenly i post in page of mate 9 instead of mate 8 web page, everyday i am checking market to see if Mate 9 pro available, but still its not released, one shop seller of Huawei said it will be release in coming year january-2017, just wait till release and buy one for yourself and see, everything's that we need from smartphone it has, so just wait for it, and enjoy life with huawei. Best time...

  • Wow! Wow!! wow!!!, this is called a perfect beast, killing it's rivals with ace by phenomenal powers!!!!! I like it, this is my next gadget.

  • Oh yes I almost forgot that this mate 9 and mate 9 pro has one of the fastest and safest charging system on earth, although they have big battery of 4000 mAh. Now they are focusing on getting the very fastest charging phone that can get fully charged in less than 30 minutes, what a wow!

  • Dual-curved panel?...what the

  • Actually, they are first focusing on big and important markets. They want to create a perfect top brand image in the industry as Samsung had done before. Then they will focus perfectly on the developing markets like India. That is a brave and powerful strategy. But also a bit risky strategy. Can they be able to do what Samsung did before? This is really interesting and remains to be seen in near future.

  • Ya you correct, But mate 9 pro is fastest everywhere. I know, iPhone 7 and s7 comparison shows that s7 and iPhone 7 both are equally fast. But mate 9 is of another level performance, in point by point, it won from both s7 and i7 by double margin. Also tests revealed that s7.and i7 get gradually slow down in performance with time passes, like in some months. But mate 9 is first phone which guarantees that it will get 8 percent faster by using it over long time. Although, practically, no one will be able to notice any difference between these beasts but as time passes, one can observe, that mate 9 becomes faster while others slow down. That is an important difference between this and others. Right? What is your opinion?

  • Good luck to Huawei. Until I see the day Huawei made a huge signboard or put their banner everywhere. Im seeing their Honor phone still sharing place with Oppo and Samsung. Can you believe I found Huawei P9 and Honor 8 in a Samsung store?! Their display counter is place at a secluded corner inside the store. I guess nobody cares. Average people arent phone geeks. Its all about business.

  • But there never were any test had been conducted to prove Mate9 Pro faster than iphone 7 plus. Btw, im not an iphone user but i do use benchmark as guide to get an idea of how fast a phone is. Real life test? Yes, seen a lot of it on youtube. There are so many videos but there are no consistency. For example, S7 edge vs iphone 7plus test. One video shows s7edge faster amd another video shows 7plus faster. There are many video showing s7edge faster. And there are also many video showing iphone7plus faster. See what i meant. There is no consistency in this so-called 'real life test'.

  • Samsung and other big boys are afraid of Huawei because Soon Huawei will kill them all. Next champ of industry is here.

  • You should have bought a Google pixel or should have waited for mate 9 arrival. I think You have done a big mistake bro. You will miss real branded quality bro.

  • Benchmarks are waste buddy. They don't necessarily show the true power of a chipset. Only a real tough test can explore the actual capability of the processor. Mate 9 is insanely faster than other smartphones like s7, iPhone 7.

  • Why are you so narrow seeing guys, who defend iPhone overpriced shit things? Steve Jobs have passed away - the genius is gone. The rest is still brand echo, that will fade in time soon.

  • Benchmarks tell one part of the game. Real world test is everything, even my honor 8 blowed away my friends 3 Months old s7 edge, even though both have almost same apps in our phones. Default apps launched faster on s7 but third-party apps launched way faster on honor 8. S7 edge is faster in benchmark, but falls short of honor 8 in real test. Same with the story for iPhone 7

  • sd card option is not true..there is a dual sim version but the socket reads only sim card not sd card

  • Yes it's already released in China

  • Where do get the idea that Mate9 Pro is the fastest phone? Even in gsmarena database have the iphone 7 on top of antutu chart. Nothing above it.

  • oh no bro, xiomi mi note 2 and vivo xplay 6 are not amount the greatest phone. not amount the best 5 not even the best 8 or 10. so mate 9 can not be in competition with them. mate 9 is beating all the greats in many areas. is the camera that is not certain to top all in some areas of photography but it's among the very very best in the market as at now.

  • Wow Haroon, you are really lucky, where did you buy your Mate 9? This phone is virtually beating all the greats like Huawei P9, Honor 8, S7 and S7 edge, Google Pixil and Pixil Plus, One Plus 3 and One plus 3T and even almighty iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus in fastness. Indeed it is also the phone that could stay cool the best even in heaviest use. It can conduct the lowest heat than all other phones in heavy usages. I love this technology. This is a fact. How I wish to get one before. X'mas.

  • Directly competing with Xiaomi Mi Note 2, Vivo Xplay 6, and Galaxy S7 Edge of this year.

  • Wow, Sweden you are getting your share of the hot cake. Born fast stay fast. Indeed this phone is the fastest phone in terms of apps openings and multi tasking. One Plus 3 was very fast and was beating all the great like S7 and S7 edge, P9, LG G5 and the rest. One Plus 3T came just recently with snapdragon 821 to beat all including the One plus 3. Now Mate 9 has also come to beat the One Plus 3T. So Mate 9 is the new King in Speed and fastest fingerprint. Huawei you have done a great job.

  • is that device available in china now ?

  • That's right

  • On december 20:th... At least here in Sweden.

  • Aliexpress has them in stock. Check it out.

  • Well, after a long 3 months of doing my research and looking for a new phone, in summer I wanted to go for One plus 3, then I changed my mine and I though that galaxy S7 edge would be a safer and slighter better option for the price offered semi-new, then, 6 weeks ago, I found that it would be a couple of new interesting launches, One plus 3T and Huawei Mate 9 pro, which I fell in love with and I decided to definitely go for this one. After waiting for its release on November, I find out that they are going to move forward with the brillian marketing strategy of just launching it in China and Scandinavia, also at a price much higher than the other main flagship leader companies (at least on Sweden will be £693 to my exchange rate) I'm so disappointed that, I am finally going for One plus 3T, which, it ticks all the boxes perfectly and, by the way, I have to wait another 4 weeks for the shipping. How hard is to be a buyer!! Am I doing the right thing? What do you guys think? Thanks!

  • Every smart phone manufacturers are now testing thousands of times due to Samsung Note 7

  • When is this phone going to be released? I've searched the net and can't find it anywhere. What is taking so long? Does Huawei not want to make money?

  • Well it does since the second simcardslot can be used for memorycard....

  • Yes it does. Will use the second simcard-slot ....

  • huawei is my best phone . i am using huawei 620, but there is an amazing phone mate 9, that i can not gate this because i am from Ethiopian. tell me if i gate .

  • Possible JV with CloudTag wearable?

  • I would guess that the reason that this phone is only available in those markets is because, at least in the USA, the average phone user has never heard of Huiwei and they wold have the misconception that they are purchasing a cheap Chinese knockoff. But that is just my thoughts. I personally think this phone is way better then anything offered in the american market and am a bit disappointed that it is not provided though my carrier.

  • ! please review this phone !

  • Haha, yeah. i thought so as well, i was thinking why they put S7 edge pictures over here

  • Is it just me or does this phone looks similar to SAMSUNG S7 edge?

  • I'm 99% sure that comment refers to Mate 9 not Mate 9 Pro. User is probably confused. I know the price in UAE for Mate 9 is what he/she said.

  • Good Specifications but not deserve to be flagship cause of lack of durst waterproof and display protection not mentioned.

  • nope, that´s another phone =) identical phone but other design...

  • This a very good phone . i just hope Huawei will have an option to change the resolution of the display and then its going to be the best bar none.

  • In other country named Huawei Mate 9 Porsche Design...

  • For those that keep complaining that this is an s7 edge knockoff, well it certainly looks like it, but it's so much better. Dual 20mp and 12mp with dual flash and laser autofocus, not even Samsung with just one single flash. Better 4000map battery. And for those who are very enthusiastic, it's Google daydream compatible. It comes with nougat out of the box. All of this is one step up Samsung and two steps up apple

  • So how is it possible that it is available now in UAE, as one of the comments says below, and also I've just read that it will be released in taiwan mid december? Explain to me please!

  • It won't. Just in China and Scandinavia.

  • Huawei P9 Plus - when i am start using - fell in love with it - Huawei phones are the best in the Market now - i am waiting for Mate 9 or Mate 9 pro to buy - I quit Samsung and Iphone - now only Huawei...

  • Hi everyone, I am really impressed from huawei. Just got mate 9 9 today, it has been two weks I am using huawei and this company mobile really nice in asia specially. Really fast net with best network antana. Before I was using iphone 7 plus and after that I bought sumsung s6 edge but none of these mobiles better then huawei. Just one time buy you would always buy huawei. Never see that much faster mobile in my life, had great batter 4000 mah lion battery.

  • Mate 9 pro

  • Are you referring to the regular "Mate 9" or the "Mate 9 Pro"?

  • Had been using iphone6s to samsung note 5 then to huawei mate 8...and i immediately fall in love with it...huawei really did it too well...just got my mate 9 today....

  • The phone is now available in UAE market for 2299 aed plus freebies vr headset,selfie stick and bluetooth speaker or earphones.

  • Huawei 9 mate pro only available in china and Scandinavia.

  • Nobody can take you seriously.

  • I've been trying to find the release date of the phone all over the internet and I can't really find it. So, as far as you know, it will be released on December the 20th on which countries? Where have you read this? They don't even say on huawei official website. Now that I made up my mind with the phone I want, I still have to wait even more... :(

  • Funny that ppl says samsung all the time on these looks....... Samsung DID not come out whit the design...

  • I wonder if they copied Note 7's Explosion function too

  • Looks like cross breed of Samsung S7e n Moto G4. Without Samsung logo n batwing

  • Nice copy work from S7 Edge :D

  • world most phone note 7 bro but what we cando it cancelld

  • Will it be available in Bangladesh?

  • No man, mate 9 is best of the best. What are you saying? Note 7 was out of Samsung's standards! It was a crap! That's why Samsung killed it. And as far as specs concerned mate 9 blows s7 series, iphone 7series out of their position. I'm a huge fan of Samsung, apple and Huawei due to their imperial features, industry leading quality and most importantly long term branded experience . S7 and iPhone 7 series were maestro of 2016 now mate 9 is new champion. This is the beauty of competition, futuristic innovation, rivalry and huge market dominance. I love these brands. Just enjoy it. Can't wait for what new future technology evolution will bring.

  • Huawei S7 edge :D

  • What is the reason that this nice smartphone is only available in China and Scandinavia?

  • Will it release in (south)asia?

  • booo...mocking Samsung's curved screen technology....

  • It was released 23. november 2016 in Denmark, and it will be in the stores aprox 20-12-2016

  • I would love to know to, but most phones I been interested in this year are not in the U.K.

  • Anyone knows when this will be released in UK? If you go to the official website it says nothing at all. Weird! I know that is not released in Denmark and I would like an update on when we can get this powerful beauty in the rest of the world! Thank you! :)

  • Huawei Mate 9 Pro doesn't support microSD.

  • It is confirmed that Huawei Mate 9 Pro has no Card Slot.

  • 10/10. Yes.

  • We must not have looked at the same phone. The one I am looking at has 4000 mAh battery, and weighs less than 170g!! Samsung always build too small batteries inside their phones. Anyways this has not been released or even tested yet, so there is no saying how it will perform. And no they didn't imitate Samsung, the curved display is sourced from Samsung, it is the real deal. There aren't 20,000 ways to fit a Samsung curved display component into a smartphone, it will always looked curved!

  • What about the global version? Is running china version will run asia or Europe? If they get full network facilities and update? Thanks.

  • Mate 9 Pro coming only China and Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Sweden and Norway)

  • it´s that time again that yet another chineese phone brand has made a phone similar to the edge series off samsung this model is so loos to the edge + that i have

  • The Note 7 is dead, get over it. I was one of the early adopters and whilst mine did not heat up or explode, the possibility was still there and I am sure Samsung had good reason to discontinue the model, probably inherently flawed. I wish they had stuck with it but I suspect it neither possible or practical for them to do so. Stop comparing a non existent phone with others and move on.

  • In specs,no one can beat note 7. But it won't explode and damage us.

  • where can i purchase this mate 9 pro or mate 9'128gb 6gb but not the chinese domestic version.. pse help thx

  • note 7 > mate 9 pro. if only samsung weren't so quick to discontinue the former and instead spent extensive effort to find the cause for the fiery units (which in the first place were like 30 out of 2.5 million), the note 7 still would have blown the mate 9 pro out of the water in terms of battery efficiency, utility, and productivity. practical usage doesn't care about benchmarks or millisecond differences in speed. unfortunately, many people don't and will never get that through their thick skulls. oh, not to mention that this huawei flagship is nothing but a blatant ripoff in design. but that's something that we've come to expect from this awful company.

  • So what? It's even better :)

  • It probably won't be released in the U.S.

  • Definitely get the Mate 9 Pro. The best phablet of 2016 and 2017 :)

  • Mate 9 pro

  • Indeed after reading and reading the specs again and again I am convinced this is the phone is the phone of the year. Hahahaaa! The amoled QHD SCREEN display makes it lovable. It has the greatest specs. The 5'5 screen size is perfect for me. Huawei really do listen to customers and is part of why they are breaking boundaries. I have been begging them to do 5'5 inches screen variant to add to their 6' mate screen because most people like middle size than that big size. And they did just that. U are wonderful. U will be in the first position soon. People take wonderful and powerful craft to everywhere. This will sell better than P9 believe me. Take it to North America, South America, Europe, Australia, All Asia and later somewhere next year Africa.

  • you have to decide, these two phone is totally different so make a decision how much you wanna spent on a phone. The huawei will be cost almost the double of the Op3T the huawei has a much more premium build and quality, they can save the most on the design and the build quality and the research and development, actually it seems both will run after 2-3 years. Huawei has higher resolution maybe later next year it will be VR capable by their own VR Glasses. Better camera packed into. probably better battery management. and my opinion about the kirin is better in multitasking. it should be your personal preference to be. these two not a samsung s7 and s7 edge or some similar build phones where the specs almost same.

  • huawei 9 pro

  • Does this phone come with SD card support? On huawei.com i read this phone dont have sd card support. Please update speclist if this is true.

  • Guys should i buy huawei 9 pro or one plus 3t

  • Agree, a perfect specifications, just need to be water & dust certified,will be then invincible.

  • When is it getting released in USA and What's the price?

  • After reading all specifications I think it is the best smartphone for everyone

  • Released today in Denmark, available soon in Scandinavia

  • why not? eventually it is better as before as using Leica Lens on it, the smooth OS that can be par with Apple OS. For this price what you want to expect??

  • yes ! it can handle 10 candy crush sagas simultaneously ..now go and buy it .

  • Huawei s7 edge, lol.

  • Me and most of the people agree with ''Miki''. It sounds weird, but if you see a 5.5 inch phone and 5.9 inch phone at the same time. A large difference can be noted(even though it is only 0.4 inch more).

  • This phone is going to be awesome huawei is going to make millions from this device

  • I appreciate your thought, but it really isn't.

  • I think Sony xperia xz is best

  • So the 0.4inch more is big? Are you drunk or stoned?

  • yes, 4k display is enouhg,perfect. we dont really need beeter,everything more is battery waiste. IR is also welcome,but thouse front vamera shuld be stay 5mb or so,its take too much room another options,example even bigger battery. iris scanner or even fingerprint locking is useless,we dont need thouse grab. just number key or/and line security is enough..aain useless space waiste. all we need is battery,without it all options are useless. if we get 5000mah battery without thouse useless options, i say, go for it. only good options is backside camera,but its now so good,that if we want more its just make phone more expensive.so good quality and 20mb is max. anything else is waiste,sure low light picture is great.

  • No, 5.9'' display is too big. 5.5'' is better.

  • yup it is 4K , 2K is 1440p.

  • Great specs and would be a real competitor to other hi end phones. Does it mention anywhere if it supports wireless charging? And how water resistant is it?

  • To be fair and unbiased.One of the best Huawei products!Though not having separate external memory slot,radio,usb version 3.1,using the second SIM card slot as memory slow,two 64 and 128 inside memory capacities!!!?Nevertheless,it is a shining star in the high valued most crowded phablet class that can be compared with P9 pro of Huawei and A9 pro of Samsung!!Mate8 is amazing,Mate9 pro is fabulous and Mate10 maybe excellent!!I just enjoy reading its specifications here and hopefully the price is a range that many can afford and buying it!!6 gigs RAM+256 gigs of auxiliary capacity is beautiful too!Omid12Omidvar....

  • Yes 2160this 4k

  • It has 4k or not? Is 2160p@30fps a 4k or not?

  • No it shouldn't. 5.5'' is fine.

  • And they don't explode! :D

  • This phone design is almost perfect. Look like N7 or better. prefer curved screen ala S6 than S7. I love the color option too, and front facing fingerprint reader is the best placement.

  • The display should be 5.9 like mate 9

  • Does it have "wifi-calling"?

  • You quoted me by mistake, bud :) I agree with what you said, by the way.

  • Brother.....u don't know anything about Huawei .....lol they make one of the best fones in the planet....they fones r not cheap either...they built one of the finest nd dont not compromise in anything

  • No, It isn't. It's well known site like this one and it doesn't give wrong information, at least, not that I know of. The link: If you still think its wrong then check it out yourself and stop letting your love or faith for this chip blind you, lol. Before you say it's an early testing I can guarantee you when they test it again it will still beat it in GPU. And oh yeah, I was wrong when I said it's a ccomparison between the Mali-G71 MP8 and Adreno 530 rather between mate 9 and Google pixel. Though, I must admit it's powerful chip.

  • Wrong info then, my friend.

  • I think will sell RM3,099 to RM3,299 for this model on Malaysia market as soon as December 2016.

  • It's close doesn't mean it surpasses it. It still beats it with a significant margin. I'm stating from a comparison between the Mali-G71 MP8 and Adreno 530. Info from XDA news.

  • The dual SIM version supports 0ne SIM + microsd/2nd nano SIM. In a hybrid slot configuration. The single SIM version supports one SIM and Micro SD card.

  • I guess this is the Mate 9 for me. Hope it makes it to Nigeria

  • Lmao, you probably are Samsung lover and your knowledge is very limited.

  • lol seriously that looks so much like a note 7 i pity the person who tries to take it on an airplane

  • it is dual sim or sim/microSD. all in 1 slot. So you have to choose ;).

  • Huawei really took the opportunity of the down fall of note 7 with porche design and pro version mate 9. All china manufacturer take the chance to advance into the highest tier phone market segment... Hope they able to replace the demands of this market segment

  • you know there battery life is longer, except for video playing? if an battery starts losing capacity after 5 months, its an warranty issue and you can get an new 1? This phone beats the S7 almost in every benchmark? about the copying? Every manufacter does it.. Samsung does the same (water resistant etc) So instead of saying things, wait till this phone can be compared to an S7 ;).

  • when this phone will be launched here in Philippines?

  • Obviously you've never used a Huawei phone. Lower build quality? You must be kidding.

  • So this is supposed to be the poor man's S7 edge, with some compromises typical for the chinese phones, like lower built quality, bigger bezels, copied design, inferior canera and screen, supposedly bigger battery capacity but lesser bettery stamina in real life and after a few times the phones feels like having the half battery capacity. But overall its close enough to S7 edge, yet what would you expect from a copy cat? To be significantly cheaper than the original, otherwise whats the point of its existence? This is where this phone fails! And on wideness, 2017 flagships are manouvrable because they have they have discovered that the sweet spot to make them manegeable are to be smaller than 7.5 cms, with the sweet spot beeing at 7.2, close but not good enough Huawei, still a vast improvement from the previous models, the bezels are stellar for a chinese phone!

  • Not anymore. The Kirin 960 is close to those chipsets in terms of graphics, since it has the new Mali-G71 MP8 GPU.

  • Get the Mate9 Pro, it's way better than the S7 edge :)

  • Seems like you're the one who's high here.

  • Wow! is this the promised mate 9 pro for the large market? It seems to have come faster than we thought it would. And the amazing thing for me is that they kept the same specs and bring variety of colours too. Wow, well done Huawei but what is the price?

  • Easy... if you got the money, get the Mate 9 Pro, if you still miss the Note 7, but want an alternative... go for the original Mate 9, if you're a diehard Samsung fan/fanboy go for S7 Edge. Those 3 phones/phablets are beasts! :D

  • I will wait for the reviews of this phone.

  • i think i'll go for this one, waiting to be available in the market

  • Does this phone support microSD? I didn't find this on Huawei web site

  • what's ur opinion? purchasing Mate 9 or mate 9 Pro or s7 edge ! I'm confusion :'(

  • so what is ur opinion? purchasing mate 9 or mate 9 pro or galaxy s7 edge ! I'm confusion :'(

  • True, true but the graphics still trail behind the A10 and SD 820/821 in regards to no. 5

  • I would like to buy this phone, what frequency bands does it support?

  • You are naive to think that your data is not been sent or spied by NSA, FBI or the CIA using various proxies, regardless of which country its made in. It's silly that you had to point China on that aspect when in your own backyard they're doing the same. Lol. And I'm pretty sure your phone is made in China. :D

  • oh yeah, i bet mi note is the first smartphone with dual curved screen though

  • Though looks 100% same as s6 edge+ but looks even better.

  • Aw, go back to your iPhone.

  • So also be careful with Apple, since they're made in China, right?

  • Samsung Galaxy s7 with Huawei logo.i disappointed u.sorry

  • Be careful buying Chinese phones, read this:

  • This phone not Samsung note 7 or s7 edge copy,cuz this phone not explode . Please make 100% copy from Samsung note 7 and s7 edge with ability to explode. if other phone maker wants to copy Samsung they should bring this function to its phone .

  • you wrong dude! but S6

  • Hope it comes with wireless charging capability like Samsung! and would have a device capable of charging either normal or fast and can be bought to charge it wireless like Samsung.

  • Are you sure ?

  • To all of you saying that Huawei copies the Note7's design: 1) So what? Taking inspiration is perfectly fine 2) Every company copies another company nowadays 3) This device is actually for sale 4) It doesn't explode 5) Kirin 960 is the 2nd best smartphone chipset right now after the Apple A10

  • Are you stupid? The Kirin 960 is the 2nd best processor nowadays after the Apple A10. Go learb a few things and then comment.

  • Mate 9 and Mi Note 2 copied Note 7 very well.

  • Samsung Galaxy Non-Note 7 downgraded edition. Clear lame copy with lame SoC. The 8890 is waaay better than this Kirin CPU. They won't become the no 3 worldwide like this.

  • Woooow such edge, much galaxy

  • clone of note 7, dont u agree?

  • If they exist aversion with 6GB RAM - 128GB or 256GB internal Memory & 5.9" or 6" touch Screen it's the best of all.

  • They will have to settle for third before they start declining. Other Chinese up and coming (better priced) phone makers like Xiaomi and Oppo are gunning for their number 3 spot. They are pricing their phones for a decline down the list, they are not as established to demand that high a price (not as desirable or in demand as Apple or Samsung Flagships). IMO if they don't continue to offer phones in a more appealing price range like their p9 handset (which was excellent) they will fall down the list rather than challenge Apple for number 2 spot.

  • ....and the dual curve edge madness continues .....

  • I think s7 edge or s7, s6 etc, is too awey from huawei quality , is only popular but good models are not anounced because is not so convenient for market,better is for vendor bad models and big stupid customers whose think that samsung, iphone are the best, or f..lg. I think best world brands are dell, huawei, htc, iphone has some inconvenient caracteristics but no virus entry and resistible phone, i like it but example this and some other new huawei wow i love it. wifi reception, battery durability is excepcional and ram no words.

  • Dude which part of the world do you live??

  • You can opt for standard mate 9 which has a flat screen. Huawei got all it's customers covered!

  • You can check Mate 9 version

  • Why why why why, why is it curved, I ran away from Samsung because of the stupid curve, f*** this new fad

  • Definitely Huawei and oppo are future champions of smartphone industry.

  • The few of you just see the from out side and decide about the smartphone.How shameful you are. It has little simillarities with Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge or s7 edge but almost different in design much more better in branding and features and most importantly quality.

  • Excellent price deserves impeccable stuff. Is it water and durst proof? How is the battery life? ......so on...

  • a physical home button. This is new.

  • Only better

  • Don't be so silly. It looks nothing like Samsung phones on the back. Perhaps on the front, but it's still gorgeous. And also, it's going to be better ;)

  • I have to wait. This phone has all the gears I want, any cost I will buy it. Mate 9!!

  • Love everything about this phones potential... (size, chipset, screen, battery, OS and features...) But at price point of over $1000 USD/CAD kills any chance of buying it.... Mu MotoX PE costs $399, can't beat that value!

  • All you Apple fan boys and Samsung teenage kids that just to know Huawei is taking over the world the next year apple is already going down every month and they are nothing more then just marketing and copy each other with samsung even steeling tech and designs from huawei example dual cameras and samsung is just a cheap half plastic glass shit with no quality control and bulky childish software.both can never come close to huawei in quality design and specs get it your head ,Huawei is already No3 worldwide

  • If the specs are correct and if it has 256gb and microsd card, i would buy it immediately!

  • Dearest electronic technology fans.Why not caring what's made not who is made!!!?Huawei in Mate category is ascending and doing well deeply!!!Mate9pro and its sibling Mate 9 are excellent with todays worldwide technology criteria!!All specifications are stories of a high end with possible softwares and hardwares!!It is one of the best flagship contesters in the peak of high ends in 2016-17 beside Samsung P9+,pro and plus!!To have much more popularity,it would have been the best to have an independent micro sim slot memory and USB version 3.1,and even a radio for different tastes!!It has different inside memory versions,but the 6 gigabytes RAM will have much more success!!!Some may say,it is a copy!?It is wrong!Because knowledge sharing is worldwide and almost all famous brands try to take lessons from success,advantages and disadvantages of other brands!!Hopefully,those subsidiaries to Huawei take lessons to improve their products for todays and tomorrows markets...Unknown price yet but after gsmArena review,I will write a comment based on factwriting!!Thanks mentioned names.Justice Rights.

  • Samsung looking? imagine our attitude over vehicles were the same, not BUYING A CAR because seems to be the same as the other one, they all have 4 tires, doors and a wheel, kid, you better go to bed.

  • 100% correct

  • exactly look as galaxy s6edge+/s7 nothing new in this phone :(

  • Except it's way better.

  • this is the refurbished note 7 ...lol

  • what's with this big phone obsession these days!

  • i don't care. I'll buy it. most phones today are look alike.

  • is this waterproof

  • The front looks like Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Nothing original in this phone. :p

  • This looks exactly like an S7 Edge.

  • i wonder if these huawei phones are waterproof?

  • the size is too bog actually

  • It's obvious that target audience is one that had note 7.They made Huawei Mate 9 look almost exactly the same it's so transparent....

  • Who were the façade in mate 9 pro

  • I so want this phone, I hope it comes to U.K

  • Y crying about the price.. The name tells us all... PRO. it will be really a pro version... This one is only for who is looking a real pro...

  • Yeah totally that cheap cheap 1190 euros. lol

  • perfect 10/10 for the price

  • Best of luck.. We are waiting for ur official announcement

  • Great looking phone, way to go Huawei, keep busting out them diamonds.

  • 6.0" lovely

  • Daaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Wow. This is some crazy specs.

  • WTH Huawei Pro version and not amouled screen .... and why 6 gb ram I can't use photoshop or illustrator here ..

  • Well I am a begotic fan of Huawei but that is really extremely exorbitant phone! Anyway let's wait and see maybe the tag price is just a fake alleged one or maybe Huawei holds some surprises in it that don't want to leak out!

  • According to rumors: Kirin 960 16nm {4×A73+4×A53/GPU: G71 MP8} In gsmarena Octa core A53! That's not my fault!

  • i think you never read news or article's about Kirin 960.

  • This phone is at least expensive as apple and is shit i mean bad as apple. And looks likes bad samsung S7 model with curved bottom. Well thumbs down.

  • More than 1000 euro !! For what!? For octa core Cortex A53!? Where is A72!? Huawei is on wrong path with this price & this specs!!

  • wow!!! Thats my dream phone. Maybe to big for me but IS THAT 2 FINGERS SENSORES??? That would be awesome LOVE IT

  • It needs front facing speakers! and it will be the best phone ever

  • Ridiculous pricing. Has the world gone mad!!
