The back cover of the phone is made more practical, it does not shine and does not gloss over. Thanks to the matte metal surface, the smartphone fits perfectly in the hand, it does not slip in it. It is extremely convenient that Cover coating prevents the appearance of grease stains and streaks.

In addition to the fingerprint scanner, there is a double main camera at the back. She is highlighted in a special block. The flash is also double, and the focus is laser.

Huawei mate 9

On a note! The flagship went on sale in six colors at once: white, pink, black, gold, brown and gray.

Dimensions of the device perfectly fit under the palm of medium size and give a positive tactile experience when working with him.It is necessary to take the gadget in hand, as soon as it becomes clear that this is the flagship solution. There is no economy in any design element.

Screen features

The display at Huawei Mate 9 is made by IPS technology and has the size of as much as 6 inches. This partly makes it related to the line of phablets presented by the company earlier. Matrix has FHD resolution. Screen strength is high degree of detail pictures. Contrast and brightness are also quite high. Thanks anti-reflective coating The smartphone does not burn out much in the sun. Information remains readable even in direct sunlight falling on the screen.

On a note! Tempered glass, according to the developers, saves the owner from having to use additional screen protectors. Scratches and worn appear much less.

Thanks to the minimal frames, the smartphone has placed a rather large display in a medium-sized case. This solution can be considered very successful, because screen / chassis ratio minimized. The overwhelming part of the back side is occupied by the display.

Characteristics of "iron"

The main characteristics of Huawei Mate 9 also demonstrate the desire of developers to make the device among competitors. The flagship is based on the Kirin 960 processor. This is the most current eight-core solution at the time of the release of the gadget. The chip is capable of accelerating to 2600 MHz, which provides performance gains in modern games and heavyweight applications.

Mali T880 is responsible for the graphics of the new product, and there are no questions to this solution. Three-dimensional shooters, resource-demanding strategies and team-based multi-user projects are running at medium or high settings.

Depending on the configuration, the device is equipped with 4 or 6 gigabytes of RAM. The minimum size of permanent memory is as many as 64 GB. If this seems to the user a little, then you can always purchase a version from 128 or even from 256 GB of memory on board.

Important! In the popular benchmark smartphone gains about 100 thousand points (parrots). The result is just wonderful. In addition, it is not necessary to doubt it, the device shows fast, smooth and high-quality work even at maximum load.

operating system

The smartphone Huawei Mate 9 does not work on pure Android 7 version. The decision to equip the company's flagship model branded graphic shell I went to the phone only for the benefit. First, the user gets into the hands of the operating system, the most open and friendly to the user. Secondly, the number of extraneous applications is minimized, and most of them can be removed if desired.

On a note! The proprietary interface has its own application store. It does not duplicate the playmarket functions, but rather adds additional features to the system.

Also important is a full system update. In the case of flagships provided longest support from developer. The user receives not only weekly security fixes, but also system updates.

Huawei branded shell called EMUI demonstrates excellent speed and high stability. Its reliability and convenience are confirmed by numerous reviews of users of the device. In addition to the main functions of Android, EMUI users have access to additional software features phone.Most of these solutions are not in the "bare" version of Android and is exclusive.

The operation of the flagship operating system leaves a pleasant impression. The shell responds quickly to requests and commands from the owner, perfectly processes and recognizes information from all sorts of sources, and qualitatively reproduces various content.

Battery and autonomy

For autonomy meets non-removable rechargeable battery with a total volume of 4000 mAh. For a screen with a diagonal of 6 inches, this solution looks like a compromise between the thickness of the smartphone and the maximum operating time. According to the statements of engineers, the gadget can last without recharging for up to two days in a moderate mode of use.

It should be noted that this indicator is somewhat overestimated. Real indicators look somewhat more modest. At full load, watching videos in high resolution, games and enabled Wi-Fi, the phone will work up to a day. But at night, it would be better to put it on charge, if the user does not want to remain without communication the next day. With moderate use, the gadget will last 1.5 days, but the figure is very average and gives little.It is unlikely that someone will fully charge the phone in the middle of the day.

In general, modern technical process and optimization of software have somewhat calmed down the appetite of the processor and graphics adapter. But the device did not say a weighty word in terms of autonomy.

Quality of communication and sound

Declared by developers full support for all fourth generation networks confirmed in practice: the smartphone confidently catches and holds them. The sound in the speakers is clear, without the slightest distortion and lag. Microphone noise reduction allows you to talk even in windy weather, however, it does not save from industrial noise. Communication in the device is implemented perfectly, the quality of reception and transmission are at a high level.

The flagship of the company must keep the brand and remain at the forefront in all positions. But mait 9 not equipped with a separate DAC. Rather, the gadget is designed to provide high-quality sound at the level of optimized software, as well as at the expense of the quality headset used, purchased separately. The settings in the built-in track player will be enough to customize the sound and enjoy the music on average and high bitrate.

Camera Specifications

The gadget installed the most advanced matrix at the time of release. This is a 12 megapixel dual camera with a laser focus. There is and physical stabilization (optical), as well as a two-color flash. In the pictures it is especially good to convey clarity and depth.

Important! Thanks to the many manual settings in the right hands, the phone can replace the entry-level camera. Thanks to the device you can make good, high-quality images.

Frontalka has more modest characteristics, 8 megapixels and no flash. However, for high-quality self with natural light, this is quite enough. In a dark room the image is grainy, there are noises and noise.

Changes to the camera are not immediately noticeable. However, it should be noted that, compared with the previous revision of the model, the matrix now provides much better images.
