- Huawei set out to solve some common smartphone problems when it built the Mate 9: bad battery life, slow software, and underwhelming photos (among others). And aside from being a behemoth of a smartphone, the Huawei Mate 9 does a really good job of solving most of those issues. But now that the Mate 9 is officially on sale in the US, the biggest problem might be convincing Americans that it’s worth buying. This is the Huawei Mate 9 review from MrMobile.

[ABOUT THE HUAWEI MATE 9 REVIEW]
MrMobile's Huawei Mate 9 Review was produced following three weeks with a production retail Huawei Mate 9 and several months with a preproduction Huawei Mate 9 review device. The units were tested on T-Mobile US in Greater Boston and paired with a variety of wearables, including the Moto 360 v2.

Y'all better stop scrolling through the comments and watch the damn video!!!()
u caught me :(
deng 1st comment :(
this trend is so old
David Sidrak already lol
David Sidrak there's so many little TH-cam trends and they all get real old real fast.
Have had my US Mate 9 for about a week. Sent back the S7/S7 edge and no regrets. Great phone so far and much cheaper than the iPhone.
Bill The Weather Nerd how is the camera?
Salil Maharjan
It takes great photos especially in good light. Haven't really had a chance to use it in low light however I was able to take a very clear shot of Orion using a tripod.
Ahmed Shams I used the S7 edge at Walt Disney world and while I was there with just moderate use the battery died at 5 pm. Plus I was not really impressed with the pictures it took.
Bill The Weather Nerd thank you for replying. I really hope mate 9s camera is better than the s7 edge
Hi both. I have also switched from galaxy s7edge to the Mate9 for many reasons. In reality the camera on s7e is better in low light and video better stabilized. But the camera on the mate is way more fun in good light.
Lots of truth in this video. Nice review man. You're 100% right, without this phone being in more brick and mortar stores such as the 4 major carriers this phone won't change the fact that the iPhones and Galaxies will still continue to sell.
Yeah this is true
+Clous von iPhones don't really have unique looks or gimmicks haha.
Apple's great marketing just makes people think so ;)
i.e. there are many phones with similar designs (yes, the current design was based on an Android device) and MOST features of iPhone/iOS come to one Android phone or another before Apple includes it (I can't name a single feature off the top of my head except for a single, platform-wide, non-SMS, unified messaging app, iMessage, and MAYBE their dual-camera implementation; dual cameras have been on Android devices for the last couple of generations, but this 1x-2x setup is unique in the market).
Colton Donnelly iPhones don't do anything spectacular, exciting or groundbreaking, but everything they do, they do very well. People like the consistency you get with iPhones.
They sell because of good marketing and people wanting an easy life, even if they are missing a few features other large manufacturers could offer them
Kind of, but I feel like that's quickly becoming most if not all other phones too. I haven't really had any hiccups on my android devices in recent years. In 2009, sure, plenty. But not any more. They're just as fast (a few are faster except loading games), and they "just work" just as well. Then again, I made the wise choice to step away from Samsung's touchwiz....
Andre Rivers thats a good thing, especially for people who want to get away from carrier branded phones.
after seeing this review, why have I never seen you before?!?! awsome video my man and review
Robert Alexander he is one of the best tech reviewers out there
wujiyudi I'm on a spree lol
must be pocketnow back in the days
Robert Alexander welcome to the party pal
Every time I see his video is like the introduction of a great book // awesome ..👍
Honestly, I think the way Huawei does their UI is pretty good; I quite enjoy it on the Huawei Honor 8, and the phones have outstanding price to performance.
It's a shame the phones never make it to the average consumer's mind, but it will eventually with all these ads flying around.
Doge Charger I’m on Verizon, so GSM phones aren’t compatible. I’d get the Mate 10 or Honor 8 if they were on Verizon. I use a Galaxy S7, I’ve had it since April. I like it, but I have a lot of respect for Huawei
Budget is right on $400. It's either Essential Phone, MotoZ, or the Huawei Mate 9...Which should I get for Black Friday?
Doge Charger i totally agree
when i got to choosing my new phone, i had my mind set on huawei phones, so i got one and i am a fanboy and most of my new phones wil probably be huawei, so sue me, i like them
Mr. C. Hopefully you got the mate 9
After ditching my contract with Sprint I started exploring prepaid options. I purchased the Honor 8 for $250 and popped in a Metro sim and I couldn't be happier. This is one of the best phone I've ever owned.
Devon Farley Nice and that is a great price! I'm doing the same but with cricket.
Devon Farley hahaha I did the same bro best decision ever
I'm so glad that I'm not a brand whore. This is an amazing phone!
+Literary Landslide username checks out.
Yes, exactly. I buy phones based on what they can do. Couldn't care less who's name is on the back. I'd probably have to flash a rom on this one pronto though.
That is a big question for me...dev and support. That is something Samsung and other manufacturers have that Huawei probably doesn't. Even ZTE has pretty good support.
lol, well, that's one way of looking at it.
Beastly G good stuffs. I change brand Everytime I changed phones. currently still using Huawei. previous ones were Samsung, HTC, LG, Nokia, Motorola...
Great Review after using a couple of Huawei devices in the past year, this Review is spot on when discussing software, this along with marketing the company will need to improve to really get the foot in the door
I use the Huawei Nexus 6P and it's awesome-Huawei's hardware prowess (amazing camera, loud speakers, fast charging, and really nice look) is paired with pure Google software (Marshmallow that got updated to Nougat and will get an update to O). I plan on using this thing for years.
Henry Stern My Nexus 6P crashed six months after my Nexus 6 crashed. I'm done with Google if not Huawei.
Henry Stern hello mate! I really like the note 8 but I decided to wait for huawei mate 10 (a brand I have never used) do you recommend me to have it?
thanks mate.
aline go for the mate 10 mate! (y) it'll be worth every penny
Fahim blackwell thank you! I have heard a lot of good things about huawei...I think I will give it a chance!
I do regret getting a Nexus 6P sadly. The battery problems and eventually the low durability caused it to fail for me...
The lockscreen issue is an Android problem not a Huawei issue. it's the same in all Android phones. I hate it personally.
It's not at all the same. All the stuff I talked about (notification management, volume control, media track selection) can be done on a stock Android phone like the Pixel, or done differently on phones like the Galaxy series or the Moto line from Lenovo. Only phones originally built for Asian markets have such restrictive lock screens.
Yes that is correct.. I do all of those things on my Pixel Xl.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] oh! I miss understood what you were saying. You're right, my apologies. You can do everything except for respond to notifications from your lockscreen on Android. That sucks you can't do any on the Mate 9.
No worries; thanks for the sanity check! :)
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] even if it is locked??
I find it sad that people in general go for the trend. The iPhone vs Galaxy war is stupid at best, with either saying their preference has no match and the other is trash. Neither is true. I had my eye on the Mate series for years, but I ultimately prefer the experience of iOS. Still, Huawei is making amazing phones. The Honor 8 is really eye catching both inside and out. I kinda like the software experience even with it's quirks. I am still not disregarding a Mate 9 as a secondary phone, and as soon as I get some spare cash, I'll be happy to give my 7 Plus a short vacation from time to time by using the Mate 9.
JoeyBobC + I have used both iphone and galaxy phones, and the fanboys are crazy. Both phones are over priced garbage. There are actually some great phones out there for far less money. This fanboy crap shows, as my grandfather used to say, some people have more money than sense!
Charles Hall tired to reply this comment, just do effective marketing and the demand is theirs. some people just don't know that Huawei is exist and reliable.
JoeyBobC Then in 1 year when an update is out you’re shit out of luck and have to buy a new phone
"I find it sad that people in general (not true) go for the trend. So I bought an iPhone. I am not disregarding the Mate 9 as a secondary phone. However I am disregarding the Mate 9, and the role I play in the existence of trends I publicly state make me 'sad. I had my eye on the Mate series for years but ultimately prefer the experience of using someone else's eyes."
Did I space out at some point or did he neglect to say how big the screen was?
he did....but Google is our friend. This is an Android phone, after all :)
Colton Donnelly I'm aware of how Google works but it's customary to include that info in a review especially calling it a possible Note 7 replacement. Down below he copped to forgetting.
Didn't scroll far enough to see him say he forgot.
He usually does include specs, I don't think it's a big deal.
I looked up the specs, it's 5.9" with 77.5% screen-body ratio. Only 1080 screen though.
It's a 5.9, IPS. I'd rather have an amoled but Huawei has excellent video calibration so it'll still look great.
Beastly G I agree. I was totally wrong about the display. it's beautiful! I prefer amoled but I'm very impressed with the display. best LCD 1080p display I've ever seen
I am enjoying this phone very much. I got it at Best buy about a month ago, it had a $100 discount, in anticipation of the new Mate 10 (I guess). I first learned of Huawei in other low end phones mainly being sold in other countries. I had an opportunity to "mess around" with one and I actually liked it! The UI was so refreshingly different to me, that I was willing to put up with a big learning curb. I believe that phone had EMUI 3.0. I had been fed up for years with Samsung's old UI and I had been experimenting with different phones like the LG and HTC. I have never been an Iphone guy, I tried! In my quest I learned that one of the best Nexus phones was actually made by Huawei, and, I got my hands on one. Loved it! Then: the battery... currently, I am having it's battery replaced, but in the mean time, I am enjoying the mate 9. I love the hardware, I love the floating dock, I love the themes and customization that can be done without having to install other UIs. Battery life is superb!
I've been using the mate 9 now since it launched. I couldn't be happier with my decision. great review on the phone and it's nice to see the phone getting the attention that it deserves. Picture taking is one of the things I love most about the Mate 9, as it's always consistent and the pictures come out amazing.
I got a Honor 8 a while back to test the waters. I have to say I like Huawei after putting google now launcher on it. While some might complain about the lock screen I like the lock screen. I am not a fan of having my phone sitting on the table and having anyone be able to know who is texting or emailing me without unlocking the phone. Whats the point of having a lock on the phone if information is getting leaked out. I also say the camera on the honor slams the camera on my iphone 6s plus. While people complain about the software I will say that I have not had to reboot or deal with hardly any freezing or hiccups with my Honor compared to my iphone or my note 5 i use to have(got rid of it because I missed the features of the note 4). The lack of a wow factor is pretty much spot on. I do like the mocha brown color but color will only get you so far. I will probably get the Mate 9 a try because I have had good experiences with the honor 8.
Hi Michael,
I am watching your reviews from 2013 when you were with pocketnow. You are the only reviewer who talks about every aspect of the phone and is not biased
towards a particular smartphone brand. I have not found any reviewer discussing about earpiece loudness (call quality) but you do that. Many reviewers are fond of iphone/samsung, hence they either don't review huwei, zte kind of phones or they talk negative about these brands.
You reviewed lumia 1020 and where you praised its camera, you pointed out its deficiencies like weak earpiece and reflective screen.
Appreciate your work and request you to keep doing such great reviews and do cover the areas that the other reviewers don't touch upon(e.g signal drops, earpiece loudness, software bugs etc)
The Mate 9 is the first Huawei phone. It is just amazing. Bye Samsung, Im a new Huawei fan. Absolutely love this phone. It's a shame that many consumers will never know how good this phone. It's a beast!
You're pretty much spot on with that review. I've got a P9, well it was mine, gave it to my wife. It's a shame Huawei will never get recognized in the US outside of the Nexus 6P. I'm actually a big fan of Chinese UI. MIUI and EMUI are my favs.
People buy iPhones and Samsungs becouse it's a trend. If everyone was a tech nerd then they would know that there are better phones.
Well Samsung Flagships are beasts, the only other smartphone I like is the Pixel XL because of its camera
Emerson Araya Exactly.. I choose the Huawei and the Mi Mix wixh is my Favorite
Emerson Araya it became a trend because it is what it is
Most people in USA are trendy... Lol They love the looks more than what their phone actually offers... Looks appeal to most here. I pity those people and feel sorry for them.
Emerson Araya some buy them because it’s what they like and don’t need all that fancy stuff. Why would it matter anyway?
Your reviews are always extraordinary good: informative, non-biased and with a trustworthy mix of critism (when needed) and appraisal. Two thumbs up, Mr Mobile. 😊
The lock screen got me to sell my Mate 9. I loved the build of this phone and I actually like the rest of the UI but restrictive lock screen was a deal breaker for me.
You could have used a third party lock screen. The nice specs of the phone shouldn't make the speed difference noticeable if there is any.
Datafiend - did the finger print sensor not work? or can you not even see the clock or notifications without unlocking?
Datafiend Don't use a lock screen.
Literary Landslide - The fingerprint scanner does work and you can see new notifications that were received while the device was locked but once you unlock the device those notifications will no longer show up once the device is locked again. It also doesn't display everything that is in your notification bar while on the lock screen (only new alerts) and your actions for what it does display are very restricted, for example you can't expand or even reply to notifications from the lock screen. It is also very inconsistent and very often just the action of turning on the display on causes the notifications to disappear.
Datafiend - Wow, that sounds bad... My sis has an honor 5x and it's nothing like that. Have you tried a 3rd party lockscreen to see if they work fine? Hopefully it's a bug that'll be fixed.
I've seen the mate 9 in person. And I must say that I am impressed with it. Beautiful display and perfect screen size.
Honestly one of the best phones out there with the honor 8 for Chinese market
Let's say I was looking to buy a Smartphone for around 400$ to 600$, and I am looking for a media consumption device (excluding LG V20). What would you say is the best choice out there right now Mr Mobile? Or should I wait for MWC and see what LG present there?
MWC is gonna have at least one exciting smartphone, so if you can hold out I'd definitely consider waiting. If you had to buy today and really needed a beautiful screen to watch media on ... for me it doesn't get any prettier than a Samsung panel. I don't recommend the S7e very often, but if you can find one for under $600 I doubt the display will let you down.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Thanks for the Advice :)
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Would you say the HTC 10 is as good of an all round phone as the Galaxy S7?
The 10 is great! But since you specified media consumption, its smaller panel puts it at a disadvantage. Couple videos:
th-cam.com/video/LQNI4wrF5Vc/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/oXJdgRN_Izw/w-d-xo.html
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Thanks, you really saved me :)
When the phone goes buzz buzz to find a new MrMobile video, everything stops. The viewing of a new video must commence!
Great video Michael! Questions:
1) Camera MP?
2) Screen Size?
3) Screen Resolution?
Let's hope Huawei gets rid of the ugly interface soon XD
camera is dual sensored, 20mp for monochrome sensor, 12 mp coloured sensor
screen size is 5.9 inches, a LCD panel at 1080x1920 res, so its only full HD, not quad.
Claudius beat me to it. Didn't include a spec sheet on this video as I normally do; apologies for the omission!
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] I had to rewatch the video because I thought I missed the specs, hah. Was hoping this wasn't a new format omitting the specs!
Nope! Specs are at 1:36 in the initial hands-on video if anyone wants to see them in MrMobile format: th-cam.com/video/h-sqrU18Fjw/w-d-xo.html
Cladius Bellona That's disappointing, I was hoping it was AMOLED
I just purchased the mate 9. I also have an iphone 7 plus and a galaxy s7edge. This is hands down the fastest phone I have! The camera is just as good as the former two and the battery life is superior. It took lots of research for me to come across this device and I do not regret it one bit.
Mr Fisher You are impressive with your reviews
I like your text graphics mr fisher getting board of all the other line dictator stuff. I especially like the fancy one when you where showing the aux out haven't seen that before. Great stuff as always man.
Watching on Huawei mate 9
You keep bringing up the Honor 8. So would you recommend it over the Mate 9?
he definitely rushed this video. Didn't touch on a quarter of the features the phone offers vs the other name brands he was advertising
stranger danger it's true for them only Samsung Apple LG and HTC exist...
Dan Dan HTC doesn't paid him too, lol 😂
yeah, i would have loved to hear how good the cam is.... I know 20 mpx or smth
Michael, why do you think companies tend to implement camera sensors with a 4:3 aspect ratio instead of the wider, more optimal 16:9 ratio?
I have the mate 8 and 9 love them both. Great quality for the price. The skin doesn't bother me just put a launcher on it and move on . I use nova and it's great. Just my .02
I unboxed this phone over a week ago and been using it since. Typing this on the Mate 9 now. I noticed that about the lockscreen, but for some reason I am not minding it since I find myself wanting to go in and use the phone. To me, my biggest love/hate about this phone is the screen. The screen is actually fine, don't get me wrong, but man, if it had 1440p resolution combined with its awesome speakers, that'd be icing on the cake.
I found those weird battery notifications annoying, so I disabled that in settings. Anyone else here do the same? And I'm not even sure if those apps are actually draining battery. Battery life has been fine so far.
I'm gonna do a multitasking and speed test of this phone vs the OPO3T.
Legend has is it mr.mobile does not reply to your comment if you are early
At last, a phone review that doesn't spend 75% of the review talking about the camera. Love it!
i actually have a nexus 6p which is a huawei device.
stock software on a phone is utterly irrelevant to me, i will always go back to stock android by hook or by crook, so all that's left is the hardware
and the nexus 6p's hardware is.....actually pretty good.
part of what helps is that it's a global phone, so i can slap my verizon LTE sim card in it and it works great, minus some weird quirks like no notification when I've received a voicemail, just a text from verizon made of complete gibberish for some reason
love my Huawei Mate 9, while others bash it's software, to me it's great. I personally never been a fan of the stock look...heck I find it to be really dull and boring. So Huawei Mate 9 has a nice change of pace. Now it's battery life is just amazing! Before with all my other phones I always worried about having enough juice at the end of the day, but with the mate 9 that's a thing of the past. If I could add one thing, that would be making the device daydream ready. I know the Pro is, I just with the regular mate 9 had that feature also.
You barely mentioned any SPECS! What's the screen resolution, RAM, camera specs, GPU, CPU, SD card slot and software version installed? This review was full of a lot of fluff but very little substance.
rocked30 you can search it all on google , this video mainly show the real life usage of the phone
Well, when you call your video a review there are basic components to a review that virtually every reviewer adheres to; moreover, if the video was meant to be a fluff piece and not a real review he should have stated as much in the title. One should not have to Google anything about a reviewed item if the reviewer does his or her job properly. If not, it defeats the purpose of subscribing to someone's channel in the first place.
1080p screen, 4gb ram, android 8.0 as of now
@mrmobile I am planning to buy a new phone... Security is very important. Should I buy the iPhone, mate 9 or the S7 Edge. Please guide me
I'm using the Huawei P9 in Australia it's lit
Incredibly crisp video. Professional. Informed. Subscribed. Excellent work
DAMMIT I just sat down to watch finding dory with my kids and had to notice this. Time for an intermission.
somebody already thumbs downed this? Must be drunk.
I'm still extremely happy with the Nexus 6P (since it's made my Huawei). the only reason I still have that as my backup phone is the dual front facing speakers and that build quality! What's the speaker configuration like on the mate 9?
I wish they made a compact version of this phone.
They do it's called the P series
i have honor 6x its exactly the same phone but compact...the exact same UI
Love my mate 9. Invested a lot of time in setting up Nova launcher and all the other settings but now I'm pretty happy. The battery life is insane. Huge upgrade over the Moto X Pure I was using before. The Notification screen is the only part I haven't been able to adjust to my liking.
All that being said, if Lineage OS is released for the Mate 9, I will absolutely switch. That phone would be perfect.
Download VLC and you can play that video....
I love how the GS7 Active was shown when talking about bad battery life in the intro . . .
I want mrmobile wallpaper
Rasin sahaji Me too.
does using a huawei phone in the uk count?
They're one of the most popular phone brands here in the UK, I see them everywhere and i use mine everyday as my main phone
for $150 more I'll go with the pixel
Great video as always. I really enjoyed using the Huawei Nexus 6P when it was released but none of their models have impressed me much since. You're right about the Chinese software too. I spent a lot of time getting my Xiaomi Mi Mix "just right" but I feel that it's worth it with this phone. I still find myself loving this huge bezel-less 6.4" screen. It's amazing. I wish Huawei would step up like Xiaomi did
Love the hardware, don't like the software. This with just Nougat would be my phone.
GRUBDUDE You could buy it and install Nova Launcher..
is there a water proof for huawei?
Any Huawei phone with Leica branding is a must-have for photography enthusiasts. My friends and I have been truly impressed with its superb quality photos the lenses make!
you didn't post the specs like you do
Addendums:
The 960 is impressive but we have to wait to see how the Mate 9 ages over time.
The cameras are very good. I wish the thing didn't encode in H.265.
The display is okay. It's got off-axis visibility issues but that's the only real complaint I have.
Thanks
why you wish that?because you are unable to install a codec? or because you don't care about the benefits? or maybe Huawei is not you brand I'm sure if was Samsung logo on the back this review was 10 min + :)))
Help me Mr Mobile, wich phone shoul i buy, a Iphone 7 Plus or a Mate 9? Cheers and congrats to the channel
HTC m8 or the Huawei mate? ha.
AwesomestOfAwesome I see what you did there..
Gr8 b8 m8 but I say M8 8
U wot m8? 😂
You FOOKIN WOT M8
im thinking about selling my Note 5 and getting this or the Pixel XL.. what would you advise??
You have a Surface Book. Windows 10 can play back H.265 just fine.
0M9H4X His Apple MacBook where his video editing software is won't, I believe.
Yep. Worked on 7 just fine too. I use Media Player Classic. It gets smoother framerates in 4k vids. Gotta love how those apple's don't "just work" like they always say lmao.
How much time you get of SoT? I'm planning on getting this phone because of the big battery! my s6 only gets me like 2 hrs of SoT :(
Its sad seeing all these Chinese brands making decent phones that might have been great... but are being held back by poor software. You see this on Meizu, Huawei, Xiaomi, LeEco, etc. If only they watched all the youtube reviews of their phones...
Probably also why OnePlus was such a success ... software
Asher Perlmuter because we like emui
Andrew Lim
I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with you on that one
I had the Note 4 and the build quality was great
A couple of my friends have S6s S7s and Note5s and they all love them
I've never seen any build quality issues on any of these and I think Samsung is doing pretty great job from a hardware perspective
Andrew Lim what Samsung? S2 or Note 1?
Asher Perlmuter stock android are soooooooooooo boring
Maybe, maybe not.
But it works. no weird bugs, no quirky features that work half the time, it just works.
Hey Michael. I just love your style mate! Cruisy cheerful relaxed voice, well presented, really professional and AAA. Cheers and keep up the good work!
Huawei really makes great phones. I just cant deal with their UI. I'd prefer either vanilla android or at least galaxy's touchwiz is more tolerable for me.
How can you dislike a video like this, great job Michael!
Such a shame that OEMs just don't use Google's stock Android software with a few software touches.
That's pretty much what Oxygen OS is.
I'm using the Huawei Mate 8! I love it so much! I dont think it is worth the upgrade from the 8 to the 9, cause there isn't an insane difference but I did play with one and oh boy, it was amazing!
I have a nexus 6p that I dont use anymore made by Hauwei
why ? i have a N5x it's already great for me
YassiNe MaChiChi Because I have a smart phone addiction.. I have a LGV20, iPhone 7plus, Pixel Xl, Nexus 6, Nexus 6p and note 4.. I keep telling my self I am going to make videos to pay for all these phones lol..
Dallas Parrott wtf man
Dallas Parrott I've been there, I keep telling myself I'm going sell some on Swappa.
Kevin Woodruff I keep saying that too! Lol
You're probably one of the only reviewers who reviews Huawei products well.
You're incredible Mrs.Mobile, you're work is very ¡Good!
Mr mobile is the best reviewer on TH-cam hands down
Who would possibly call u biased Michael??Great review as always
That would absolutely be a first - WOLFSHEIM surfaces in a review!! Done, I'm subscribed. What next - DeVision? Mesh? Keep on slaying it Mr Fisher!
BTW nice review, too.
So much honesty in this video that I can't help but watch till the end. Good job MrMobile!
I own the Mate 2 and the Nexus 6P. I love the battery life and the size of the Mate 2 and I love the front facing stereo speakers, speed, and camera (stills & videos) of the 6P. I believe the Mate 9 will give me the "Ultimate best of both worlds" to date, and I look forward to purchasing my newest Huawei acquisition before the summer. I love big phones and I had faith that eventually Huawei would produce a phone that would give me pretty much everything I want in one phone. The only thing lacking for me are the front facing stereo speakers as on the 6P, which sound incredible. Notwithstanding, this iteration gives me enough of what I want to justify my leap to this level. I love that the UI gives me a different experience than my typical Google/ Android experience, and that the 1080p screen is great and won't burn up my battery life as the UHD screen on my 6P. I'm a network marketer, so being able to shoot 1080p live video conferences with the 8mp front facing camera, live presentations with the rear camera (1080p/ 4K), perform my daily business activities directly on my smartphone, take sharp, crisp, rich photos while on the go, keep a tight schedule with notifications on my calendar, enjoy movies and games while traveling, in a mocha color that I've always wanted, and all at a very good price point, this for me, at this moment, is the ULTIMATE phone for business and pleasure. In plan to make a TON OF MONEY incorporating this device into my business/ personal life. They do a BETTER job than HTC at constantly meeting my cellular needs. Thanks Huawei!!!
I know that short videos are most likely to be seen whole, but still i love your style to bits and i personally would like to hear more about game performance, audio jack output quality, screen, browsing and so far.
This review was quite good and on point. I think you missed out when you didn't talk about the call quality but overall very informative. I do wish more things can be done on the lockscreen rather than having to unlock the device fully.
Nexus 6P counts? I'm enjoying the styling and the fuzz about all these Huawei devices but I'm waiting for them to bring front speakers
Honor 8 user here... Rejected a Moto x4, rejected a LG G6 64GB. Both felt slow and/or inconvenient compared to the smooth and reliable Huawei. Such as proper placed finger print reader, better Hotspot performance, simple design and easy to use Apple like layout. Love the custom features out of the box. I am looking for phone worthy to take the Honor 8s position.
It's good to be critical however the at the same time Mate 9 is a great phone and good publicity will help the company go to higher ranks for sure. I know Mate 9 is not perfect but at the same time it's offering something different that the iPhone and Galaxy don't 👉 Great battery life 😜. It's the single biggest issue on iPhones and Galaxy handsets. As a TH-camr myself I can confirm that S7 Edge hasn't got the battery life it once had. Recent OTA Updates has got it into trouble. At least Huawei phones are very consistent in that department and we must praise them for that at least and be less harsh. Nice review like always and keep up the good work mate 👍😜
Bought one from Best Buy and this phone is the best one. Your review was quite on the mark. Note 8 will have lesser battery life and additional iris scanner. The only thing I miss in this phone is the S Pen. Other than that, Best Android for Price and Performance.
Hey Mr. Mobile how well does the Alexa app work?
What is better in terms of performance gaming Huawei mate 9 or Sony Xperia Xa1 ultra?
Ive had the Nexus 6P for two years, had no issues with it. I dropped Sprint and went to Kricket...best decision ever. Im currently upgrading to Mate 9 and passing down the Nexus to my family member. Will stick to Huawei when it comes to phones!
Hey Mr mobile, please will this device work on metro pcs?
not from the US but I have it and I love it. Just as satisfied as with any iPhone that I used to own.
As always I love your reviews. I picked up this phone and simply love it. I have it paired with a gear 3 and could not be happier.
screen looks very cool and bluish? is the whites are white or just cool blue
Great video as always! One of my favorite tech reviewers. I am using the Honor 5x on T-Mobile. I have had it about month now and so far the experience has been good.
Being bias is nothing wrong for a reviewer, as long as you're consistent and explain why you lean towards something more than others. It's personal preferences, like how MKBHD always sticks with stock Android because of the performance and cleanliness of it. It's what he likes, just like how you like the bolder, more different phones like the BlackBeryy Priv or your old Lumia 920 and 1020.
I for one like the legacy brands like BlackBerry, Nokia, and Motorola, and that's my bias. It's perfectly fine s long as you're civil and mature about it ^^
Actually I bought this phone today for 499.99 and I gotta say its still worth it. massive screen, amazing battery, and I haven't gotten to try the camera but heard good things about it. I recommend even though I'm just a random phone nerd lol.
I could use some advice, Mr. Mobile. The screen on my 2015 Moto G shattered yesterday and in France it would cost half the price of the phone to repair it. I was planning on upgrading this year to a new model, but circumstances have hastened my plans. I was planning to wait until later in the year to see the new Pixel and OnePlus phone, and whatever Apple has got cooking for the ten year anniversary. Should I get a budget phone and wait or get something to last now? Thanks!
Budget is right on $400. It's either Essential Phone, MotoZ, or the Huawei Mate 9...Which should I get for Black Friday?
Another awesome review! I'm really thankful you mentioned the limited lock screen interaction, as that's 100% a deal breaker for me.
You nailed this review! Bravo Mr. Fisher!!
Does this work with Verizon? I'm interested in getting it
What do you think about Honor magic? It looks awesome.
wow those pics are superb. how is it compared to the honor 8?
Great review Michael! I just bought the Mate 9 a few weeks ago after I heard it was going to be sold in the US. Iabsolutely love it.
is it dual sim full active or standby ?
Micheal, Such classy videos with a person actually into what they are doing e.g "Hey guys today I do this..." That is boring. I am a student and when I get bored I go on a MrMobile spree watching videos I missed because I didn't have time You keep me up to date on the latest tech and you focus on one thing and you get it right, QUALITY your videos are so good they actually inspire me to go do some-thing, Keep it the good work Micheal
