Credit where it's due, the dual-lens camera in the Mate 9 is every bit as impressive as Huawei are making it out to be. However, that excellence comes at price in other areas. Even when the other key strengths of the Mate 9 - its processor and battery - a...

Big, big screen; very good overall performance; good value for money
Camera not quite as good as the specs and brand associations would imply
It might be a thousand dollars, but a good and wonderfully large screen, strong overall performance and a very respectable battery life makes the Huawei Mate 9 a very good buy.Tags HuaweiHuawei Mate 9LeicaSmart phonesPrevious article Review: Lexar JumpDri...

The Huawei Mate 9 has so much to recommend it so consider it iTWire's choice of phablets at present. I could not fault it in any way apart from saying it would be perfect with QHD AMOLED, wireless chrge, and IP68 – none are deal-breakers and phones with...

Metal and glass, and very well made, Excellent performance thanks to Huawei's own technology, Black and white sensor produces some absolutely brilliant images, Includes an infrared port, one of the features that has gone missing in recent years
Heavy, Screen is only Full HD, No stylus support, making it not so much a Note replacement but just a very big phone, No water resistance
If you can forgive the lack of water resistance, the slightly older Gorilla Glass, and the fact that this is a big and relatively heavy smartphone, Huawei's Mate 9 is a solid device to look at, and we mean “solid” in every sense of the word.There isn't mu...
