Reviews for the Huawei Mate 9 Pro

Review: Huawei Mate 9 Pro

The most remarkable aspect of the Mate 9 Pro is that Huawei thinks it can sell an NZ$1400 Android phone. That could be a sign of confidence or it could be overreach.

Huawei Mate 9 Pro is a wonderful conclusion to the Mate 9 series, meeting the market's demand for a premium twist on all recent flagships. The sole existence of the Mate 9 Pro leaves room for the original Mate 9 popularity to grow and thus sell better by being the more affordable and mainstream model, without giving up on any important features.

All-in-all, the Huawei Mate 9 Pro is a fantastic phone any way you look at it. It’s beautiful, very powerful and comes with a fantastic camera and a large battery. Simply put, it's the best Android phone released in the last few months. Priced at AED 2850, it’s definitely not on the cheaper side- but I don’t think Huawei wants it to to be. It’s a premium product meant to compete with the best and it succeeds.

Huawei Mate 9 Pro Review: Upping the Ante
Source: Lowyat.net English Archive.org version
The Huawei Mate 9 Pro is definitely Huawei’s best device to date – next to the even more extravagant RM6,999 Porsche Design Mate 9, which shares many of the Mate 9 Pro’s features. In its own regard, the Pro is a very sleek, very premium smartphone, and it excels in many areas that make for an excellent overall performer.

Huawei Mate 9 Pro Review: Probably The Best Android Phone Right Now
Source: Forbes English Archive.org version
Whatever the case, Huawei's phones are going to be among the first to experiment with these features. Until then, the Mate 9 Pro is the best the company -- and almost everyone else -- has to offer.

Huawei Mate 9 Pro preview: The Mate we wanted all along
Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
There's a current catch though: the Mate 9 Pro is only coming to China. At least for now. We suspect a savvy Huawei will release it worldwide to greater reception than the larger Mate models. If, that is, Samsung doesn't have something to say about the way it looks…

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.
