Best phone in international market (mind it, its not available in Indian market and is highly overpriced here and thats too without warranty). Best price for phone is 35000 and is available at that price in dubai, US, UK. Even i got one from ebay at the same price.

Amazing device, one of the best phablets on the market right now

It's fast and has a fantastic screen, but poor battery life means the Mate 9 just doesn't measure up as the next Note 7 replacement

In bringing machine learning, dual-camera tech and revamped software to the table, the Huawei Mate 9 presents an interesting proposition that goes some way to satiate the appetite of Samsung Galaxy Note fans.

Here's the long and short. Mate 9 may no longer hit all the high notes on the cutting-edge smartphone release circuit, but it still remains more than competitive on performance and stocked with impressive base-level features, including rear dual-camera capabilities.

The Huawei Mate 9 represents a real maturation of Huawei in a number of areas – most importantly in the company's dedication to a solid final product. What we've seen from Huawei in the past is a set of fairly good or really great components mixed with questionable execution.

Impressive responsiveness; processor performs very well; Back-facing camera is amongst best on the market; Bright; colorful display; Expandable storage; IR blaster

Not available through US-based carriers (must buy SIM separate; Pre-installed screen protector scratches easily; Speaker quality not top-notch at highest volume; Display just 1080p across 6.2-inches

The past 12 months or so have seen Huawei transform from a budget Chinese phone maker into a flagship smartphone powerhouse. The company's two major 2016 handset releases – the Huawei P9 and Honor 8 – were both fantastic pieces of hardware with attractive price tags to boot.

Excellent SoC and storage performance; Beautiful aluminum unibody design with slim bezels; Fantastic battery life; Improved dual camera system can take good photos

Display is below par; EMUI (software) is improving, but still needs work; Camera underperforms in weak lighting

Huawei's Mate 9 is the kitchen sink of phones. You get a boatload of features, such as an IR blaster, clever stereo speakers, a fingerprint sensor, and a big, bright, 5.9-inch screen. It also has some of the best performance we've seen from a mobile processor.

12 hours of battery life; Superbright 5.9-inch screen; Fantastic performance; Dual SIM tray with microSD slot

Dull design; Not water-resistant; Grainy low-light photo; Restricted to GSM carriers (AT&T and T-Mobile

If the Galaxy Note 7 was still on the market, Samsung would be facing significant competition. But since that device went up in flames, the Mate 9 stands alone without any major phablet competitor. The iPhone 7 Plus makes comparable promises, but it is Apple.

High performance; Long battery life; Fast charging; Better value than the competition; Stereo sound in landscape mode; Excellent reception

Not waterproof; Very large; Mediocre gaming performance; Display not recommended for VR

Huawei's Mate 9 is an incredible big-screen behemoth that'll make you forget all about the Note 7.

Surprisingly compact body; Amazing dual-lens Leica camera; Revised and improved software; Alexa support; Big battery

Not water-resistant, No U.S; release date yet, Uninspired design
