Naturally, the camera of the Huawei Mate 9's dual-lens main camera is the highlight of the phone. More specifically, the bigger highlight of the phone's main camera is its 20MP monochrome camera sensor, which has gained Leica's approval and takes some absolutely gorgeous photos as well.
Pros:
  • New HiSilicon Kirin 960 SoC is very snappy
  • Leica-approved dual-camera is capable of taking impressive photographs

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

It doesn't have the flame-prone Note 7's beautiful lines and curves, but if you're after a high-performance big-screened phone that won't set your pants on fire, the Mate 9 is a great option.
Pros:
  • The Huawei Mate 9 has more power than you'll need
  • a camera that's great for arty shots and a battery that won't quit on you by dinner
Cons:
  • Its screen is only full HD and its design is utterly forgettable
