The Best Alternative Galaxy Note 7
Design:
The Huawei Mate 9 is the impressive display, measuring in at 5.9inch. While many will read that and instantly write off the phablet for having a larger than life display, Huawei has done what it does best and managed to fit a large display into a small body with incredibly tiny bezels. The Huawei Mate 9 is similar in terms of dimensions to the 5.5in iPhone 7 Plus, measuring in at 156.9x78.9x7.9mm compared to 158.2x77.9x7.3mm respectively and proving that it’s not as uncomfortable to hold as many of its 5.9in rivals. The Huawei Mate 9 is gorgeous, there’s no doubting it, and will be available to buy in two colours Space Grey and Moonlight Silver. surrounding that large display is an aluminium body which, in typical Huawei fashion features an incredibly high-end finish, from the slightly curved edges that make the smartphone ‘sit’ in the hand more comfortably. There are three modes to choose from meeting, interview and normal with users able to play back audio from a specific direction or microphone once the recording has finished.
Main Features:
- 5.9 inch screen, 1920 x 1080 pixel display
- HUAWEI Hisilicon 960 octa core
- 4GB RAM, 64GB ROM
- 20MP+12MP rear camera, 8.0MP front camera
- 4000mAh Battery
- 190g
- Android 7.0
Display:
The 5.9in IPS LCD and its 1080p FHD resolution manages to offer up a respectable 373ppi pixel density which, to the naked eye at normal viewing distances, is not exactly lacking in clarity or sharpness. The contrast is good, and colour is punchy, while viewing angles are also nice and wide. Huawei has always stuck to its guns when it came to adopting higher resolutions and the Mate 9 screen goes to show that you don’t always need more than Full HD. VR-ready headsets benefit from the added pixels, and the Mate 9 has two smaller variants in the the Mate 9 Pro and Porsche Design Mate 9 with curved 5.5-inch AMOLED displays that each have 534 pixels per inch. The Mate 9 has no buttons, and all controls are on the screen. In addition to the insanely-thin left and right bezels, the display glass protrudes slightly above the body. Huawei and others refer to this “floating” effect as “2.5D,” and it adds a bit of style to a strong display. Huawei sets itself apart with deep display settings, allowing users to tweak the color temperature, and it includes and “eye comfort” shortcut that cuts out the blue tones for yellow.
Camera:
Huawei introduced its first Dual rear camera setup with the P9 last year. Huawei uses a 12MP IMX286 Exmor RS, which belongs to Sony’s stacked BSI family. This is the same color sensor used in the P9 and Honor 8. The 20MP monochrome sensor is also made by Sony but was customized for Huawei.
The Mate 9 features overall excellent image quality in a wide variety of conditions. Image lovers will appreciate its preservation of fine details, and its generally accurate white balance. Those looking to capture action scenes will appreciate its accurate autofocus. Some inconsistent exposures and ghosting, however, are part of what keep the Mate 9 from rating even higher. The improved dual-core 14-bit image signal processor (ISP) inside the Mate 9’s Kirin 960 SoC is responsible for merging data from the two sensors. The biggest change here is the integration of a second ISP dedicated to calculating distance and creating depth maps. With Kirin 950/955, this ISP the iPhone 7 Plus, but HTC, LG, and Huawei itself all shipped devices with them beforehand, going back all the way to the gimmicky 3D smartphones from 2011
Both the color and monochrome sensors that make up the main camera are 20MP Sony sensors, coupled with f/2.2-aperture, 27mm focal-length-equivalent lenses. One sensor is a traditional color sensor, capturing red, green, and blue (RGB). The other is monochrome, capturing a grayscale image without any intervening color filter array. The Mate 9 supports both JPEG and RAW image capture as well as 1080p and 720p video.
Performance:
The Mate 9 is packed with the latest internals from Huawei in the form of the Kirin 960 chipset, which is made up of ARM’s latest Cortex-A73 chipset. The Kirin 960 comes equipped with four Cortex-A73 ‘performance’ cores clocked at 2.4GHz, paired with four Cortex-A53 lower power cores clocked at 1.8GHz. It's got 64GB on board storage as standard. There's dual-SIM capability, or the second slot can be used for a microSD card to further expand that storage. It's got a great fingerprint scanner that's well positioned on the rear, too, and works as well as if not better than the nearest competition. The latest Mali G71 graphics that really sets the Mate 9 apart from other Huawei phones. Frequently we've bemoaned how games might have the occasional stutter or take a bit too long to load. RAM 2.4GB and 2.6GB of RAM free with no apps running and even with 20 apps running , we are yet to hit below 1.5GB of RAM free.
Huawei says the chip uses artificial intelligence to route data and system processes to deliver the best performance, guaranteeing that the Mate 9 wouldn’t slow down over time. The Mate 9 comes with Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box, and Huawei loads on its EMUI 5.0 interface. The interface itself isn’t too bad, and this time around you do get an option to use an app drawer instead of EMUI’s historically drawer-free experience that makes the UI more iPhone As with general performance, storage performance is lightning fast. Apps open and close very quickly. The fingerprint sensor is also very quick and reliable. Huawei continues to have best overall on any device.
Pros and Cons:
PROS:
- Great build, sharp look
- Top of the line performance
- One of the best smartphone cameras
- Ships with adapters and smartphone bumper
Cons:
- Only supports GSM carriers
- Mediocre camera quality in low light
- Polarizing skin will turn off Android purists.
Battery:
The Mate 9 has a suitably massive 4,000mAh non removable battery cell dwelling inside its sizeable phablet form. We often find the best measure for real-world intensive use is pretty much watching a long movie on full brightness from a full 100% charge. Roughly a 10% per hour discharge rate for media on full screen brightness, and certainly in line with the Huawei Mate 8 and other big battery performers we've seen in the last 12-18 months. The Mate 9 to last a week on a single charge, going down by about 7-10% a day . Impressed with the Huawei Mate 9's battery performance absolute beast. Switching off things like NFC and Bluetooth will assist, or cutting back on screen brightness by unchecking the auto-brightness box. You can go into permissions manually and make adjustments for individual apps about what they can and can't do from drawing over other apps. fast-charging - which Huawei calls SuperCharge is on board the Mate 9.. just 30-minutes at the plug could see the Mate 9 have almost 60 per cent charge. The Dual SIM card slot allows you to use either two SIMs or a SIM card and microSD card and call quality is fantastic, especially as when you put the phone to your ear during a call, the Mate 9 eliminates ambient noise.
Verdict:
The Mate 9 isn’t a Big Upgrade over its predecessor, but ithe key areas that Huawei intended it to: battery, performance and camera. The Mate 9 even better a higher resolution screen given the phone’s large display size and an always on display.With a large screen that’s nearly six inches big, I’d expected the Mate 9 to feel like driving a van, but the phone’s slim bezels and solid construction makes it feel more like handling a fun SUV or crossover. The latest Kirin 960 processor and GPU runs applications smooth as butter. Battery performance from that 4,000mAh cell is strong for a guaranteed all-day experience and SuperCharge fast charging is great. The Huawei Mate 9 one of the best smartphones of early 2017, with features we expect to see in competing smartphones set for release in the near future.
