I've owned this phone for almost a year now. I have been looking at other phones and thinking about "upgrading", but I can't find anything I'd like better. I also have an original Mi Mix, the ceramic beast with 6.4" edgeless screen, but the camera utterly sucks. I'd like to check out a mi max 3, but again, shittier cameras and slower processor. I hate notch phones and can't stand the trendy 18:9 and up to 19.5:9 screens on many of the new higher end phones. 6.3" you say? Well, heck a Butterfinger bar is 8" long. A long skinny screen does not equal a large screen. I picked up a Note 9 at the store and thought it was silly. The Mate 9 is "only" 5.9", but it's a 16:9 ratio, and it seems like none of the cool newer phones like Mi Mix 2s, Oppo, vivo, even Mate 10 pro have 16:9 ratio anymore.
Great phone, camera, sound and software,. Ok screen resolution but great screen size. I think I'll wait...

Hai,
I am from India. Recently I got this mobile as a gift from my friend in KSA. This is my first Huawei/Honor device in my life. This is one of the best device I used. Everything is superb and equivalent(or better?) to the flagships, except in the case of cameras. I am using this since last one month and my observations are as follows.
1. great design with high screen to body ratio and with notification light. the camera bump is very slightly protruding. very confident to hold, but slippery if not used with a back cover.
2. I got the black color version and it is very attractive.
3. superb crystal clear display with good contrast, easily visible under direct sunlight.
4. butter smooth touch response. great speed, performance is equivalent or better than many SD-830 mobiles.
5. very quick charging.
6. absolutely no heating even under heavy usage, always at glass temperature.
7. no lagging/hanging even at high end use.
8. clear and very loud speaker output without any distortion which is very useful for ladies, because we keep mobiles in bags/purses. the stereo effect is amazing.
9. very good for music listening. I am using RHA-MA750i head set.
10. good RAM management.
11. very easy to use softwares. lot of very useful software features. no bloatwares. got an update last week with face unlock feature. hope they will provide android Pie update soon.
12. superb battery backup. I am getting 2 full days(or more) backup with 24 hour internet on with social media usage, lot of calls, texting, browsing etc.
13. camera is not up to the mark, only if it is compared with LG V20 or Samsung S7(as per my opinion, these are the BEST camera mobiles in the same price segment), but
far far better than many same kind/priced mobiles.
14. we can use 4G sim in both slots. I am using JIO sim without any additional applications such as 'Jio 4G Voice' and I am receiving incoming calls through Jio sim without any problem, but out going calls using Jio is not possible.

sajid, 11 Jul 2018i am planning to buy this phone
1. does it support otg?
2... moreHi,
Mate 9 is one of the best phones from Huawei and even after almost 19 months of initial release the phone seems to be competant in the market. I am using since it was released.
Coming to your questions,
1. Yes, it supports OTG provided there is a C' type USB (adaptor - comes with the phone)
2. Not even minor issues, only if 64 gb internal storage is not sufficient need to compromise the second SIM.

I bought this phone while on holiday in October 2017 when my phone at the time (Nexus 5X) died. It probably wouldn't normally have been my first choice, but it was a really good spec for a good price at the time, since it was an older model by then.
I'm sure a lot of people really like this phone -- and with good reason. It's snappy, more than enough RAM and storage to do most anything you'd want to, great battery and really good screen. The camera is absolutely the best I've encountered on any mobile phone ever.
But I just couldn't like it. In fact, I came to hate it very quickly. The bloatware pre-installed and unremovable is unforgivable. The EMUI skin is horrible and just gets in the way. The lock screen, because it doesn't require "enter" to be pressed before a PIN entry is classified as a break-in attempt, conspired with my company's "five-wrong-tries and then factory reset" policy during a pocket-dial incident to cause me to be stranded in a foreign city on a business trip with no access to any of my contacts, banking, etc.
The software is always at least one release behind Android, and they never seem to release the ".1" version. When I bought it, it was on 7.0 but 7.1 had been out for months. By the time it updated to 8.0, 8.1 had been out for months. As a system administrator, this probably disproportionately irks me as ".0" releases are always considered to be the risky ones. You have no idea how much happier I'd be if they just skipped the .0 and went to the .1 each time.
The battery optimisation defaults are insane. The phone will kill anything and everything that isn't running in the foreground. Before I worked out the right combination of multiple advanced options to disable them, Skype for Business would drop my call whenever the screen went off or I switched to another app because the phone killed it. Similarly, any app designed to run in the background like an app locker or productivity tracker like Rescue Time would just be silently killed in the background.
Things that are not really the phone's fault, but my preference include the fact that it really turned out to be just too big for me. Seriously, I bought new jeans and trousers specifically because they had bigger pockets to accommodate this beast. I just don't have a need for this size phone, and I'm now wondering why I thought I did when I bought it.
I can't wait till I can find the cash to replace this phone, preferably with something that runs truly stock Android or LineageOS. Sorry to those of you that love it, but it's just not for me.

This phone is amazing, with the battery it can keep doing what it does best. It stays very fast, I enjoy Galileo, its really useful sometimes. Today I got the update for face unlock, the feature works very well and is very fast.
