I'm curious why some people are reporting that it takes 2.5 hours to charge this phone? I have this phone, and it charges in about 1 hour 20 mins tops...hmmm
J. Williams Ditto
Wow J Williams watches AMDtech. See I told you guys he is the King. Could it have something to do with not everyone having 240 Volts and maybe different chargers for different regions?
Western Gents United Hmmm I don't know, but it's very strange. 😎
+J. Williams
I will retest the charging times. Maybe my unit is defective.
+Western Gents United thanks, I will retest charging times
Thank you so much for an honest and professional review! Subscribed and liked!
Thanks and welcome!
I love it
Take two...the first upload had a mistake in it and so I pulled it. I mistakenly said it had a mono speaker which is not the case. It has stereo speakers, one on the earpiece and one on the bottom. BTW some really great speakers. Here is the correct version.
AMDtech Can you please review the Asus Rog strix gl553 or gl753 gaming laptop please
AMDtech does it have a notification light
The only thing I didn't understand was how come this guy has only 15k subscribers. Excellent video.
Always get the new Nexus every year and did not get the Pixel this time and probably won't. This may be it. No waterproof not a big deal. I don't go deep sea diving. I have the 6P now and it's still a very good device but the Mate 9 seems to have it all even with the lower resolution. The verdict from several reviews is that the screen is gorgeous. Camera also looks at least as good as the 6P but I bet it's better.
centfla I'm coming from the Nexus 6p. the last update caused poor battery life. I went to get the Mate 9. I just turned it on, build quality is 10 x better than Nexus 6p. I don't believe that's a 1080p screen, it looks like a 2k screen. I'm actually surprised.
awakenosiris yeah I'm trying to find fault with my 6P so i can hit the submit order button for the Mate 9. I am sure the Mate 9 is awesome in person. They made the 6P and that's nice hardware. Enjoy!
centfla Nexus 6p still amazing, will root mine. as for power use after the update, battery dies by 200pm which never occurred before.
awakenosiris yeah no issue like that here. Not sure though is signal issues since7.1.1
awakenosiris picked one up two days ago. Going to unbox today. Still will use 6P also.
awesome review !
Thanks Bob!
hi its trudy. i found this omg
I love my Huawei Mate 9
Yeah... I'd rather have a phone that didn't need to be plugged in constantly than one that was waterproof but constantly needs to be charged!
Another great review T
Well...there wasn't any phone case in my first nor second purchase(I've "killed" my first Mate 9 and bought the second). But although the Mate 20 Pro has come to market, I'm super happy with my Mate 9. Well, for now...don't want to jinx anything.
Oh, and I didn't get any microUsb(maybe that's for the States- I'm from Europe...).
And just to mention...those earphones are for real masochists- they hurt as hell after a short period of having them in your ears...anyone else?!
Thank you for amazing video!
Don't drink Nestlé water! Google what this company is doing in Africa for example... You can't support this guys.
got myself a mate 9. switched from IPhone 7 plus and I must say I'm very impressed. even compared to the s8 and s8 plus, I prefer the screen on the mate 9, not because of resolution because obviously quad HD blows it away, but rather for the dimensions, mate 9 has a gorgeous 5.9 inch with perfect dimensions. don't like the thin long displays on the samsungs. mate 9 manages to maintain a large screen while preserving the 16:9 ratio which is amazing !!!
I am using this phone for one year , it is awesome.
Battery comes for 2 full days or 1.5 days even with extensive use. Fast charge is perfect.
The zoom works like a optical zoom (trust me, it is the magic of dual lens)
Excellent picture quality.
The scheduled power off and on was my long wish and this phone surprised me. The two full day battery is due to this option :-)
No cons so far.
Gesture options, screen capture , photo or video are very easy to use
Never experienced a lag. I have installed more than 300 apps.
Got one from Bestbuy just before Christmas for 399.99. For this price it is the best phone so far. One can spend 900 dollars on iphone7 or samsung S8 just to get the same or less as Huawei mate 9. I decided to try Huawei mate 9 for a change and save
Will you have any review with Oreo 8.0 on Mate 9? and also BT performance,Android Auto,Mirror Screen etc that I'd like to see about Mate 9.Thanks
I had their first US phone Mate2, and it spoiled me with 9+hrs of battery life. I'm glad they're keeping that up with Mate9. Thx for the review.
My Huawei Mate 9 came with a Health app and when I tried to use it for cycling exercise routine the distances and track plots were plotting all over the place? Has anyone else tried this?
I'm not to thrilled with the stereo speakers. Although the sound is great, the balance is about 80/20 rather than 50/50. I'm looking for a "media" control panel. but haven't found one yet.
actually it's more of surround system. bottom speaker gives you mids and low, and earpiece gives you the highs....
Love Huawei/Honor phones, but, no Verizon support is a deal breaker. In my area, Verizon is the only carrier, even then, I have to use a network extender to get a signal in my home. Come on Huawei, show us CDMA users some love!
I think you should lobby Verizon and Sprint to get with the GSM world standard instead. There are a lot of us who travel and base our decisions on the larger GSM smartphone offerings and therefore rule out CDMA carriers.
maximum 1,30 hours to charge! if you have 1 percent battery....
Andrew, I think this must be one of your best videos! Very crisp, beautiful shots and thorough review. Love your channel!
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
Very good review for a outstanding Smartphone! #HuaweiMate9 👍
The perfect phablet - except for water resistance and price. I hope prices fall after MWC....
an awsome pawerful device with a great camera..recomend to all of you (y)
Really wanted to buy this phone but I'm on Verizon network
I have no problem with charging with is phone very fast
great phone but not the best at all does no offer nothing new only thing that I like is that it is 5'9 in
Lisa Allen not true... Battery lasts twice as long as any other phone. I'd rather have a phone I could use than one with some goody retina scanner but needed to be plugged in constantly.
I subbed
Thank you still watching your video
honor 8 game review please
what is the largest SD card I can buy
Did you just say "Infared"?
More ads, less subs
Very nice review- even better that you purchased with your own bucks, It suck that smartphone today 2017 are geared to work with in two networks GSM or CDMA and unfortunately Huawei is strictly GSM. Sad for us consumers- Again I enjoyed your review.... Thanks
+Dan Purnell thanks! Really appreciate it
I was very glad about how good the case fits.
My previous phone, a Moto X Style/Pure, had a complementary bumper but it wiggled around on the device making it just unusable.
Yes, included case fits nice.
Last month I bought the v20 I should have waited for this phone, looks nice, I checked it out a couple days ago and looks nice, I don't know if I should wait or drop $600 now.
The Mate 9 is a great smartphone, but there are always new devices being released. However if you need a smartphone now, its a great choice.
great review, whats the audio (through headphones) performance compared to something like the HTC 10 which is my current phone.
I haven't tested the audio in the HTC 10 but I hear it is excellent. The Mate 9 sounds great with headphones and I have had no issues. thanks!
I just got this phone and wow amazing ive had them all gs7 gs7 edge nexus 6p and every iPhone up to the 7 as I need headphone jack .. so far this is the best one yet I had the axon 7 too but there is a major issue with the newest play store update and it wont download apps had to return it got this instead amazing phone !!!! great review !!!
Thanks! Its my daily driver and my favorite smartphone so far for 2017.
Nice video bro, but i was a little bit concerned about your charging ⌚ as my mate9 fully charges about 90 mins. 🤔
Thanks! This weekend I will re-test charging. I may have a defective charger or unit. Not Sure. Should get 90 min charging. I will report the findings. Thanks again.
dope review. suscribed 😊
Great review. you covered everything on the phone, I've seen a lot of reviews on this handset but this is one is by far the best. I will definitely get the Mate 9 after watching this review 😃
Thanks, really appreciate it!
Great review im really thinking about ditching this 6s plus for this mate 9
I love the Mate 9, think its the best smartphone so far in 2017.
A little bit expensive!
Its not a snapdragon and for me it is a no no. the last 5 years all my phones were snapdragon and will be so.
Snapdragon definitely has a monopoly at least here in the U.S. But I think that is slowly changing with the release of the Mate 9 and the likes of Huawei as they make their own silicon.
Speaker sounds odd
is good or not ??? mate 9 or OnePlus 3 which one is better ???
I think you should go for the mate 9.
amazing gorgeous smartphone 😍
I agree! My favorite smartphone so far in 2017.
your review style is nice
Thanks! really appreciate it.
hey, where did you get this black version?
I bought mine at best buy, it s the Space Grey version.
Andrew they definitely got it right and I hope the Big Companies are taking Note I know Google is just by the way they are coming out with all the new products.Like operating system they are trying.The Battery is the best.Awesome processor.Quality build. I think in this phone they are trying to get the best of Both Worlds.Now is it perfect no but it can definitely hold it's own and absolutely going in the right Direction. I can not believe that these big companies are not paying attention.You have a phone that won't lag beautiful battery if you ask me what they can improve Camera they you would have perfect phone that meets both World's.Awesome Review Thanks Deb 👍 P.s Waterproof and Wireless charging would be nice.
Thanks Deb! I definitely agree with your points. This is a great device. Hopefully in the next version it will be waterproof and can charge wirelessly.
They definitely got it right if they keep going and come with one a little better the other Companies should keep an eye because I believe they have a chance to do so hopefully next one.Not that this one is not totally capable Phone.👍 Thanks again Deb
i'm going to buy one soon
Its a great phone, that's for sure.
it's great and it's my smartphone
My favorite daily driver.
yup, it's awesome..
nice review I just got it two ago thanks for the review
what color is this ?
Space Gray
thank's bro
photos not that great, they are better on P9, but everything else is better on Mate 9
the video isn't playing
I just checked, seems to working properly.
AMDtech no it's written. there was a problem while playing. tap to retry.
AMDtech it's working on my laptop but not on my phone. why so?
Sajan Prakash
clearly your phone doesn't want the competition...!!!
i got this phone a month ago only, and i was really impressed! the best smartphone for me!
Still a great phone.
AMDtech does it has a notification light on the phone
AMDtech this phone or OnePlus 3T
it does have notification.
Nick Maranan thanks
Pro is better
Hoping to review the Pro version very soon. Stay tuned...
AMDtech yes, I will! I can't wait!
but will it work with SPRINT in the US??
nevermind just got to that part in the video. bummed
GSM only. AT&T and T-Mobile. I was able to use it with Project Fi (works on the T-Mobile part).
In order to use it on Project Fi, you must first activate the sim card on an approved device such as the Nexus 6P.
$600 is a lot
Charles Nguyen not for what you are getting not to mention it's unlocked
I think you need to see the features that is on the phone and compare to other competitors price point. I think its worth the $600 price
I'm going to give Huawei a good job on this one it's a legitimate phablet only because the Note7 isn't present. No doubt the Note7 is the best phablet period Samsung is the phablet game period. Great job on the video.
I really miss the Note 7, my favorite smartphone of 2016. Nonetheless, the Huawei Mate 9 is my favorite smartphone of 2017 so far.
huawei doesn't explode.....
You can tell when someone WANTS to give a positive review to a product.
Every negative is followed buy a "but" and a justification. A 1080p display on a flagship phone is unacceptable, no matter how you slice it.
If you know my channel you know I love a hi res display. After using this device in person, the 1080p panel is excellent. I am not the only one who feels this way. In addition, the battery life is off the charts as a result (in addition to the 4000 mAh battery). Either way, I will not ding a company for using a 1080p panel just because there are higher resolution displays out there that they could have chosen to use. A good screen is a good screen. Thanks for the input.
AMDtech Yeah , battery life. the usual excuse for cutting cost with a much cheaper display.
why not have both, a high res screen plus excellent battery life? Like the Pixels or Galaxy Edge, for example.
+Qban Celli If you want the high res then look at the Mate 9 Pro which has a 2k display.
af1rs2jl Oh, wait! I thought this was the Pro.
My bad.
Maybe to you. I prefer 1080p vs 2K for battery life
Fuck I love this phone
