Superbright, large screen for the phone's size, Ample storage, with easy expansion, Kirin 960 offers some speedy performance, EMUI 5.0 is quite well done and useful, Longlasting battery
We expected more from the dualcamera Leica system, No waterproofing
The Huawei Mate 9 hits a lot of strong notes: it's fast, has tons of storage, and offers a really large screen for the size of the handset. And while we wish that the display was higher-res and a little better balanced, the fact that it's incredibly brigh...
Price Tag, Availability, A bit of a boring design, Some quirks with EMUI 5.0
If you don't mind, or prefer a larger device, then yes. There's plenty to love about the Huawei Mate 9. Like most phones it does have its quirks, but those are pretty easy to get used too. The battery life and larger display definitely make this an attrac...

Topnotch build quality, Big, attractive screen, Fast performance throughout, Great battery life and superfast charging
Lower screen resolution than rivals (regular Mate 9), Camera not quite effortless as GS7/Pixel, Finicky capacitive buttons (PD Mate 9)
The Huawei Mate 9 is great big phone in every sense of that term. It delivers the strong performance and epic battery life we've come to expect from the Mate series, in a slightly more compact form factor, with trailblazing internals. EMUI 5 is a big, mea...

12 hours of battery life, Superbright 5.9-inch screen, Fantastic performance, Dual SIM tray with microSD slot
Dull design, Not water-resistant, Grainy low-light photo, Restricted to GSM carriers (AT&T and T-Mobile)
