Huawei Mate 9 review: The closest phone to a Note7 replacement

Huawei has a small market share of smartphones here in the states, but not enough to make an impact like Samsung or Apple or HTC. It's another story overseas in China as Huawei was the second top smartphone vendor there last year, slightly behind OPPO.
Pros:
  • The build quality and design are nice and with a curved back, it adds grip to the device so you don't drop it
  • The display is great even with it being 1080p
  • The sound and camera quality are good
Cons:
  • Max volume had some crackling noise and music doesn't sound the same
  • A few times the camera would have colors look as if they're faded

The Chinese company was the number three brand in the world in 2016 with 9.3 per cent market share behind Samsung (20.8 per cent) and Apple (14.5 per cent). Its impressive growth last year came after the release of products like the P9 and the Mate 8.
Pros:
  • Large screen
  • sleek design
  • customisable user interface
  • excellent dual lens camera
  • long life battery
  • fast charging
Cons:
  • Not water resistant
  • only FHD resolution screen
  • could be cheaper

Huawei Mate 9

The Huawei Mate 9 is an unashamedly big phone, and that's becoming an increasingly rare thing since the demise of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 . For the albeit pricey RRP of £600 you get a huge screen, beefy battery, brand-new CPU and plenty of storage and RAM.
Pros:
  • Impressive battery life
  • Lovely screen
  • Much improved software
  • Plenty of power
Cons:
  • Slightly dull design
  • Still some annoying software quirks
  • Camera not always reliable

  • Great build
  • sharp look
  • Top-of-the-line performance
  • One of the best smartphone cameras
  • Ships with adapters and smartphone bumper
Cons:
  • Not dust-proof
  • not waterproof
  • Limited US carrier support

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.

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

It lacks the refinement of the iPhone 7 Plus and Google Pixel XL, but the Huawei Mate 9 is better value (outright or on a plan), offering a bigger screen in a relatively compact unit, long battery life, a good camera and plenty of storage.

Huawei's P9 was billed as the smartphone any photographer – budding or otherwise – should have in their pocket. True, dual Leica lenses and sensors manufactured by Sony helped secure the P9 as the camera with a smartphone attached to have in 2016, but its specifications made it just that: a camera...
