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 am planning to buy this phone
    1. does it support otg?
    2. any major issues or limitations?
    tia for your advice

      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.

          Anonymous, 12 Jun 2018I got the 8.0.0.368 OTA yesterday. Face unlock works fine.Sweet, now I got the June security patches, the .369 update. They still update this old phone pretty nicely! C432.

            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.

My device hasn't gotten it yet, but I know it's out there. People on XDA have installed it and apparently Face Unlock works well.

                                My last update on may got face detections.

There was something being said about the update that the OTA would start hitting devices in June. Not 100 % sure, but the point is: the feature is coming with the new update. :)
