The biggest problem for the Mate 9, and Huawei, in general, is that in the United States, the handset is only available ‘unlocked'. This means it hasn't been picked up by the carriers, and will only work on GSM networks such as AT&T and T-Mobile.All-in-al...
If you couldn't tell by my enthusiasm in some of the pervious sections, I absolutely love this phone. My only drawback to using it is, as you may be able to tell in some of the pictures, I have smaller than average hands which makes it difficult to use su...

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 Huawei Mate 9 is an interesting combination of elements, one that sees the company move from strong branding to entirely solid smartphones in the international market. SEE ALSO: Huawei Mate 9 Review from an alternate point of view We're still waiting...
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
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
If you were thinking about whether you should get the Huawei Mate 9 or not, stop thinking and get it. It's running Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box, so you don't have to wait for any updates, 64GB of internal storage is plenty for some even if you have a...

Small bezels put focus on the screen, EMUI 5.0 adds some character, charm to Nougat, Excellent battery life
Button/Fingerprint sensor placement creates some fumbling, No support from Verizon, Sprint, and other CDMA carriers

Abstract: Are you interested in the Huawei Mate 9? Yes? Great! It's not a bad phone! It's just I don't expect you to actually buy it. Even at a competitively priced $599, I expect it to sell… just okay. Maybe you, the person reading this article and watching this v...

For the past few generations, Huawei has steadily improved its flagship Mate phablets while adhering to the same blueprint: large screen, slim bezels, aluminum chassis, excellent system performance and battery life. They've also shared some of the same sh...
