It misses a trick by being 1080p rather than QHD, and the exact UK price is yet to be confirmed, so that could affect its desirability. But, even with the high price it's likely to have, this is one of the very best Android phablets currently available, and could even tempt any Apple fans who want...
Pros:
  • + Great camera
  • + Huge screen
  • + Android Nougat
Cons:
  • - Only 1080p
  • - Likely high price
  • - Not water resistant

Huawei Mate 9

Huawei's smartphones only started arriving in the United States recently, but that's no reason to discount them. While the company still won't give us a price or a solid release date, its new Mate 9 will be a contender for any Android fan who wants a big smartphone as soon as it gets here.
Pros:
  • Good overall performance
  • Fast fingerprint sensor
  • Long battery life
  • Huawei's native software provides a lot of ways to manually optimize the handset's performance
Cons:
  • Lots of crapware that you can't delete
  • Camera could produce better low-light photos
  • Uncertain price in the US
  • Emotion UI is still a hodgepodge
  • and it meshes poorly with Google's Material Design apps and any third-party apps that follow Google's guidelines

Huawei Mate 9 review: Turning a corner

The Huawei Mate 9 is currently available for $600. That is a reasonable price considering all you get. The design is understated, but has a very polished look and feel. I just wish it was water-resistant as well. The rear-facing fingerprint sensor might be the best one I've ever used.
Pros:
  • Design Clean, understated aluminum unibody shell with some nice accents
  • Extremely small bezels, Battery Fantastic battery life
  • Almost three full days of usage for me, Cameras The Leica-branded dual cameras are better than previous versions and produce overall excellent shots.
Cons:
  • Software again There's a bit of bloatware pre-installed
  • and Huawei still needs to fix the EMUI lock screen
  • Charging The Mate 9 uses a Huawei-specific fast-charging tech called SuperCharge.

Huawei Mate 9: Australian Review

Sometimes bigger is better. When it comes to phones, that's more true than ever - a bigger screen is easier to read, and a bigger body hides larger batteries and means more battery life. And that means Huawei's massive Mate 9 is one of the best new Android phones you can buy in 2017.
