Description

Huawei Mate 9 is a pretty large smartphone - which isn't surprising, since it's succeeding the 6-inch Mate 8.

The new handset is powered by an octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 960 processor, further featuring a 4000 mAh battery, up to 6 GB of RAM, and up to 256 GB of storage space.

BEST COMPANION

Posted: Sep 21, 2017, 11:32 PM

Phone owned for less than a year

EVERYTHING WAS AWESOME until........ i accidentally dropped it into seawater. Rip. T___T

As review from a not so pro-phone person, i really love everything about its camera features. Front facing camera was the best cuz it is auto focus hence we selfie queens really loved it. Effortlessly captured panorama as it has image stabilization which is awesome.

I love watching online movies using mate 9 since the graphic itself was absolutely perfect as well as the audio. The brightness really helped me when i needed to watch it under the lights off and also its 'eye care' feature.

Never had problems with wifi. Perfectly detected and connected.

4Gb ram really helped when i needed to run many apps at once.

For its body, THE MOST SEXY phone i ever had! The metal shines every angle of mate 9. Dropped few times (with tpu case) and never had problem with cracked screen. Really strong i would say.

What else then?? EVERYTHING IS AWESOME. I recommend all of you to have mate 9!
