I love how Huawei matured over the last couple of years. Sure, there are some things that can be improved (e.g. video quality) but overall they have some great phone. I use the Nova Plus for quite some time. Works like a charm despite midrange specs.
I've had this phone since February 2017. I still adore this thing. We don't see enough reviews of people who use these devices for a year or two as their only device. If I was any good at video, I'd do it myself. The Mate 9 hasn't slowed down for me at all. I had to do a factory reset once, but it was to fix something I had done to the phone. The battery life is starting to dip. That's really the only negative that I've seen in this long. Yeah, it's wider than the phones out today, but I like that I have that extra space for gaming. Plus my big hands need the width for typing on Google Docs. I figure once this narrow phone style goes away we'll get 3:2 Aspect Ratio phones that will be perfect for people like me with bigger hands. Then we can all say the Blackberry Passport was ahead of its time. :)
I have to say, I used to be skeptical of Huawei, but after getting an Honor 8, I can firmly recommend them. This phone is _blazing_ fast and buttery smooth, much more so than my Galaxy S7 ever was even out of the box. Most people hate the look of EmotionUI (I personally like it. It's like iOS with Android functionality, which is the perfect combo in my eyes), but it's very well optimized with their Kirin processor. This thing just flies. I have yet to see it drop a frame. I'm surprised this wasn't more of a highlight in the reviews because this performs better than any phone I've used. I actually got this to replace my S7 because I was tired of the S7's sluggish performance and unreliability. If my Honor 8 actually stays this way, I will become a loyal Huawei customer. They know what they're doing.
Same, except for the fact that I'm using a Mate 7. I love it. Even though it's the first popular phone from the Mate series and it does have it's flaws, I absolutely love it.
I don't know Samsung TW is not as bad as people say on S7, I like the In built Smart Manager as well, you can clean cache ,clear ram, disable app with that build in app. I guess you have to do all that if you own an android phone.
Zoro I like the features of TouchWiz too; I actually love them. But the software is just horribly optimized. It slows down to the point of unusability within a few months and I've tried clearing cache and all that and nothing works. The only thing that works is factory resetting so it can reset its decline to trash again. Samsung just needs to work on optimization and they would have a killer Android skin.
Mr.Mobile I've been watching your reviews for a quite a long time now. I remember the first review I saw you in was the huawei ascend p1 and even then I thought you were great. Now you're the best reviewer on yt in my opinion. All the best man, keep it up! :)
I've finally decided to get this phone to replace my Note 7! You hit the nail on the head, it solves several problems with Android phones if all the claims hold true. One thing I think has come out since you first aired this vid is that there is one bottom firing speaker with the earpiece serving as the other. Can't wait for this to become availble in the US as Samsung is working very hard to get us Note 7 holdouts to return our phones! I want this, nothing else!
Golly, what a solid review. I've watched a handful of these, and you've got such a simple way of breaking in core aspects of it in such a short amount of time. Great job!
When you said "three of the biggest problems facing smartphones today" I tried to guess what they were and I got all three correct. I know no one cares but its a nice personal victory
I'm using the p9 and it's really one of the best i had The camera is really good , phone is fast just when o bought it Huawei are one of the best nowadays
I just bought a Moto Z Play Droid Edition, and I love the thing for what it is. A mid-range device with sick battery life, and a battery Moto Mod to boot. Just over 5,700 mAh is any endurance freak's dream.
just got mine today. was deciding between this and LG v20. Was playing with the v20 in the shop and saw the ram left 1.2GB even before any body installed any thing on it. I am glad I choose Huawei. Got 2.5 - 2.8Gb of ram to play with for a start. Feel wise, I would say Huawei feels premium while LG feel plastic.
GodOfSeemops Exactly, this is one of the main reasons that I stick with samsung. Now that I'm forced to change my note 7, the mate 9 looks like the best option although it has those annoying on screen buttons
I love my Mate 9. Whent from an S7 edge to a Moto Z, to an LG V20 and now to this. Personally liked the Moto Z over S7 edge and V20, but this mate is nice.
#Mr Mobile #Micheal Fisher when the full review is expected to be posted cause I am waiting for that, you are among very few you tubers I trust. Regards Jalal
woah, their UI seems to have improved a lot. app drawer? More stock-ish looking multitasking screen? this looks miles better than other Huawei phones in terms of software.
Michael, you know better than your audience not knowing of Huawei. I'd go so far as to say that your core audience all knows how to properly pronounce Huawei and that we continue to look forward to Huawei releasing their best stuff here in the US.
I currently have the mate 8 and can't really see any reason I would upgrade. I am glad they added irda as Samsung has removed it from its new phones. There's still a lack of custom roms though for those who want to customise
Simple aluminum body, intriguing camera setup, and an active focus on maintaining performance over time. And oh yeah - it's a 5.9-inch display. Bring it. ...of course I'm also highly interested in the Zenfone 3 Ultra. 6.8-inch display? Yes please :)
About the battery and performance, I think I believe Huawei, first the best battery on a phone was the ascend mate 7 for me, and this year I've had the nexus 6p, the s7 edge and the p9 plus, and even though the P9 had a slower flash memory SoC than the other phones, it was the best performer for me, very snappy and almost no lag or frame drops, If the P9 had a better video camera and a better audio output, I would have stayed with it, but in this case the S7 edge outperfomed the P9
Don't know about the Mate 9 but i gave Huawei a chance and got the P9 Plus and omg i love this phone. Battery life is simply amazing and not just because of the size but software optimisation as well. As any phone out of China the UI is horrible but I threw a stock android theme and Nova launcher in there and its as stock as it gets.
If I own the Huawei Mate 9 I would flaunt the back all the time, because it looks elegant like the Nexus 6P. What I notice with Huawei devices are that their devices have elegant backs that are eye catching; some unique, others pay homage to the iPhone 5/5S and it's more obvious with the Space Gray color popularized in 2013.
10 days till available in germany, had the mate 7, wasnt the fastest of phones but im optimistic they made good progress. other than that it was good especially apreciate the size of it 6 inch is just perfect.
Isn't the cameras the same as the P9/Honor 8 but with a software improvement? Also the Mate 7 also had a 4000 mAh battery and atleast for my mom it wouldn't last as much as they advertised. I'm still pretty excited for it
This doesn't have bottom firing speakers (plural). Only one bottom firing speaker (the other grill is for symmetrical looks), and the earpiece doubles as a second front firing speaker.
seldom we get to see honesty in review.. like "uncharted territory" when it comes to the dual Leica camera.. anyway.. can't wait for full review. and ya, agree with some of the points made.. like no AMOLED, making apps drawer available, etc...
Hi Michael, I'm having a dilemma right now especially with Google Pixel and whole lotsa phones out there. Which one do you suggest, in terms of, battery life & performance + storage (cuz I play lotsa games)? I mean I haven't seen such a minute review before. Your expertise would be a major help! Thanks!

I think the poor camera quality problem has already been solved, every camera on almost every good phone this year has been really good.
I agree with that, the cameras this year have been spectacular for the most part.
battery Problem is solved too
Johannes Scharow a agree the battery problem has also been solved
I want Moto to be a part of those..
I love how Huawei matured over the last couple of years. Sure, there are some things that can be improved (e.g. video quality) but overall they have some great phone. I use the Nova Plus for quite some time. Works like a charm despite midrange specs.
Why watch other reviews when M.Mobile doesn't use youtube red ! high 5 Michael.
ryancmf1 team crispy?
Kumar Priyank Vipal
They Suck !
ryancmf1 okay how?
btw don't get me wrong, this guy is awesome
All the tech reviewers are great. Michael, Marques, Jonathan, Austin, Dom, UAC, etc.
ryancmf1 Who uses?
Your speech and the way you present the reviews, it's fantastic. Keep It Up Michael Fisher.... A subscriber from Sri Lanka.

the software is so pretty for a 2016 phone! I prefer it to their current look
I have to say, I used to be skeptical of Huawei, but after getting an Honor 8, I can firmly recommend them.

bulldog521521 Very true, but at the same time, a Samsung running touch wiz is about the bottom of the Android phone spectrum.
bulldog521521 .I agree with you.
I don't know Samsung TW is not as bad as people say on S7, I like the In built Smart Manager as well, you can clean cache ,clear ram, disable app with that build in app. I guess you have to do all that if you own an android phone.

Is it just me or any1 else also thinks that MrMobile reviews are much better and more immersive than any other tech reviewers out there...?
MKBHD is pretty good too
RLang03 Erica Griffin good too.
Mr.Mobile I've been watching your reviews for a quite a long time now. I remember the first review I saw you in was the huawei ascend p1 and even then I thought you were great. Now you're the best reviewer on yt in my opinion. All the best man, keep it up! :)
+Borna Fiolic whoa blast from the past. Thanks for the throwback, and for your support!
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Does it have a million amp battery, NO, then it doesn't let me use it for a whole day
1080p is a sensible choice. I think 1440p and above are unnecessary if you're not into VR...
True. 1080 is underrated in 2016+. Also, LCD means full RGB set of subpixels.
Jia En Khoo iPhone 7+ is the best 1080p smartphone you can get.
I've finally decided to get this phone to replace my Note 7! You hit the nail on the head, it solves several problems with Android phones if all the claims hold true.

I love the way you elaborate with face gestures....
you are by far the best unbiased reviewer out there! thank you so much for your great videos and keep up the awesome work!
display is nice but it still fails to remove the black bezels that are very noticeable on the white model.
Golly, what a solid review. I've watched a handful of these, and you've got such a simple way of breaking in core aspects of it in such a short amount of time. Great job!
"Old favorites, like a headphone jack" made me grin. Nice job MrMobile.
I received this phone today and I love it. It also looks like they fixed the problem where you can't do anything while it's locked.
0:00 Some of us have heard of the Nexus 6P, manufactured by Huawei, endorsed by Google.
1% of 1%, The Average Joe, No
Corey Watford yes huawei made nexus 6p
Mitchell Hang stupid comment
Yeah, we all knew it
Corey Watford You wot m8?
The actual problem Huawei should set out to solve is slow and short software support. They have their own processors so what's the excuse.
gauntlet thrown
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] where is your pixel review?? Waiting and waiting and waiting lol!
You won't be waiting past today.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] ur the best u will get million subs in no time love from india
Great video as always. Waiting for your full review Michael 😊. Keep up the good work mate 👍😉
A Mr. Mobile video! My day just got better!
Any chance this will be available in the United States on or before Christmas? I want to trade in my Nexus 6p for this device.
From what I hear they're still awaiting certification in the US so ... anybody's guess.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Okay thanks for the response I will stay tuned for updates on availability.
Mike Cox Buy from China.
Mike Cox in China it sells in 11.15
any chance the remain fast in the warranty..?
Hey Michael, congratz on your new review program! Great review as always, just like pro!
This is the first time I watch a video of yours. And all i can say is that I subscribed immediately. A+
Great vid as always, the combination of the shots and your narration makes for an entertaining time
Great review Mr Micheal , it covers everything , couldn't be more useful 🙂 . Thank you 💜
Have P9+ and honestly it is the best phone i have ever used. It is high quality and very nice
When you said "three of the biggest problems facing smartphones today"
I tried to guess what they were and I got all three correct.
I know no one cares but its a nice personal victory
Michael just in love with your reviews
The best❤️
I love your video presentation.. i never miss a single review of your channel.. Thanks...
really true about this Huawei device, superior than the others... I used the mate 8, it's rather awesome.. tq bro.
I'm using the p9 and it's really one of the best i had
The camera is really good , phone is fast just when o bought it
Huawei are one of the best nowadays
I just bought a Moto Z Play Droid Edition, and I love the thing for what it is. A mid-range device with sick battery life, and a battery Moto Mod to boot. Just over 5,700 mAh is any endurance freak's dream.
Man I love your reviews 👊
This content is the best because your video editing is 👌
im glad huawei is somewhat mainstream in the uk
Love your style of reviews!
keep on checking all the boxes.... content is on point... to grow is to fly you are soaring
just got mine today. was deciding between this and LG v20. Was playing with the v20 in the shop and saw the ram left 1.2GB even before any body installed any thing on it. I am glad I choose Huawei. Got 2.5 - 2.8Gb of ram to play with for a start. Feel wise, I would say Huawei feels premium while LG feel plastic.
Great to see your review has more views than pocket now and android authority combined 👍
I have a mate 7 mate 8 and Today I Bought the Mate 9 I Love this Series
I honestly think this guy is the best tech reviewer!
I actually remember you're review on the Mate 8.
Welcome back App Drawer. Huawie you now have my attention.
thanks for the great reviews.
i now know which phone to take.
merry christmas!
Can't wait for the review.
My main problem with this all new phones are... most of them has on-screen buttons and I hate it.
Nowadays companies are going for higher screen to body ratio, so it's no surprise.
fuck no, i had to downgrade from my LG G3 to a GS3 Mini and I'm dying having my buttons tied to a vertical orientation.
GodOfSeemops I think you can hide it.
GodOfSeemops Exactly, this is one of the main reasons that I stick with samsung. Now that I'm forced to change my note 7, the mate 9 looks like the best option although it has those annoying on screen buttons
Just think of the on screen buttons as part of the phone bezel, after all it is what they're aiming to replace
I love my Mate 9. Whent from an S7 edge to a Moto Z, to an LG V20 and now to this. Personally liked the Moto Z over S7 edge and V20, but this mate is nice.

woah, their UI seems to have improved a lot. app drawer? More stock-ish looking multitasking screen? this looks miles better than other Huawei phones in terms of software.
"reinventing the wheel"... no one can beat you in scripting... a big fan
i hate the black border around the screen!! it makes the screen smaller...but i love your review about this...
We heard about a 2k screen and 6go version?huawei handset are pretty good for a while,not the case of software and android updates
Mr Mobile a legend.
Thank you for your work. An excellent video. Jean from Senegal. :)
Michael, you know better than your audience not knowing of Huawei. I'd go so far as to say that your core audience all knows how to properly pronounce Huawei and that we continue to look forward to Huawei releasing their best stuff here in the US.
When will it be available in the USA?
Hey Michael, I used this background song first in my Pixel XL video before you did. So.... FIRST! ;)
Super impressive phone, but what carrier can we use this phone on?
I currently have the mate 8 and can't really see any reason I would upgrade. I am glad they added irda as Samsung has removed it from its new phones. There's still a lack of custom roms though for those who want to customise
Simple aluminum body, intriguing camera setup, and an active focus on maintaining performance over time. And oh yeah - it's a 5.9-inch display. Bring it.
...of course I'm also highly interested in the Zenfone 3 Ultra. 6.8-inch display? Yes please :)
Is this the phone to upgrade to from a Nexus 6p??
Other candidates - Mi Note 2, One Plus 3t, Mi Mix.
That's pretty cool. I don't have any of those problems on my iPhone SE though...
Look's like they've improved the ui, looks nice.
great update on the P9 thank u!
Upload more please I love you Michael ♥♥♥♥♥
About the battery and performance, I think I believe Huawei, first the best battery on a phone was the ascend mate 7 for me, and this year I've had the nexus 6p, the s7 edge and the p9 plus, and even though the P9 had a slower flash memory SoC than the other phones, it was the best performer for me, very snappy and almost no lag or frame drops,
If the P9 had a better video camera and a better audio output, I would have stayed with it, but in this case the S7 edge outperfomed the P9
Xiaomi Mix was Expected
though Great Review
Hello, Does Mate 9 have double tap to wake the screen? ...thanks
Don't know about the Mate 9 but i gave Huawei a chance and got the P9 Plus and omg i love this phone. Battery life is simply amazing and not just because of the size but software optimisation as well. As any phone out of China the UI is horrible but I threw a stock android theme and Nova launcher in there and its as stock as it gets.
Mr mobile it is good video review. Nice job
Where is the full review Mr. ???
Do you think these software-based performance improvements will come to older Huawei/Honor devices?
I am familiar with Huawei and looking forward to this phone...
Is it just me, or does it not swipe sometimes when Michael is trying to swipe? Still a nice looking device; albeit, does seem a little 'large'...
Glad to see(or hear?) more people pronounce "huawei" right
If I own the Huawei Mate 9 I would flaunt the back all the time, because it looks elegant like the Nexus 6P. What I notice with Huawei devices are that their devices have elegant backs that are eye catching; some unique, others pay homage to the iPhone 5/5S and it's more obvious with the Space Gray color popularized in 2013.
Great video.Keep good work.
10 days till available in germany, had the mate 7, wasnt the fastest of phones but im optimistic they made good progress. other than that it was good especially apreciate the size of it 6 inch is just perfect.
Last metalic body phone in mate series
hey, when your going to review the surface studio??
MrMobile doesn't review desktops. Will probably check out the Surface Dial though.
but why not you have done review or hands on of laptops!!! please do it i am a very big fan of you please sir.
Can you compare the size of this phone with a galaxy s7? I want to know how big it looks compare to other "small" phones
Can you check the GPS positioning speed? It was slow on Honor 8, P9 and P9 Plus.
will you review the xiaomi mi mix when it comes out? please do, you're my favourite reviewer
Isn't the cameras the same as the P9/Honor 8 but with a software improvement? Also the Mate 7 also had a 4000 mAh battery and atleast for my mom it wouldn't last as much as they advertised. I'm still pretty excited for it
I think a lot of Americans do know about Huawei, courtesy the beautiful Nexus 6P.
Varun Sarathy courtesy of jerryrigeverything's bend test video.
***** Yeah, the Nexus 6P was a game-changer, indeed.
This doesn't have bottom firing speakers (plural). Only one bottom firing speaker (the other grill is for symmetrical looks), and the earpiece doubles as a second front firing speaker.
Well, the fourth main problem of phones is the pricing. Huawei didn't think about that, neither does any manufacturer besides the chinese ones.
Kiwi Huawei is a Chinese manufacturer by the way
E-ink But they are known and advertise.
Kiwi One solution. Try to buy mate 9 from China. The price is likely to be at least 150 Euro cheaper in China.
seldom we get to see honesty in review.. like "uncharted territory" when it comes to the dual Leica camera..
anyway.. can't wait for full review.
and ya, agree with some of the points made.. like no AMOLED, making apps drawer available, etc...
when u post videos , also please post links to buy it from ..... just a suggestion
What about its soc? It optimizes by itself?
Is that an App Drawer I see on EMUI?
Hi Michael, I'm having a dilemma right now especially with Google Pixel and whole lotsa phones out there. Which one do you suggest, in terms of, battery life & performance + storage (cuz I play lotsa games)? I mean I haven't seen such a minute review before. Your expertise would be a major help! Thanks!
good as any hands on!
which is the best phone between oneplus 3 and nexus 6p and mi5??
Is it speaker in the ear piece?
Is it hot when you use it for gaming though
What about the "xiaomi mi mix" ? is it possible to review about it ?
yeah i am at under 300 views
#notificationsquad 😀😀
awesome video man, the first video i watch and get to know about mate 9 and that was just 🔥👌
How can I get the wallpaper @ 1:11
