            Ok, I have Mate 8 so I can be the judge here.
            -----------------MATE 9------------------
            PLUS:
            Still big and strong battery, one of the best
            Still Full HD resolution, QHD is unnecessary
            Still full metal, but I prefer solution without plastic flaps on top and bottom, I like plastic stips better, like on Mate S or Porsche Design Mate 9
            Stronger GPU, even though I never had any issues with Mate 8
            Big upgrade on cameras, Dual Leica plus selfie cam with autofocus. Cameras on Mate 8 are solid but nothing special.
            64 GB basic storage plus Dual Sim (or Sd card). Great combo

            MINUS:
            5.9 inch. Why go down when Mate 8 was 6 inch?

            ----------Porsche Design Mate 9-----------
            PLUS:
            6 GB RAM
            Great battery wasn't sacrificed, 4000 mah
            No plastic flaps, full metal body, gorgeous
            5.5 inch if you don't need more than that.
            MINUS:
            QHD screen. It's a gimmick because human eye can't see the difference at this small screen and it drains battery.
            Front placed fingerprint sensor. Why?
            High price, too high

            Thank you

                  Seems like there is no Achilles heel (GPU) this time for Huawei. Sticking to 1080p would really help during battery endurance comparison.

                                  And theyre basically the same footprint.

                                  For a 6inch screen is compact thanks to its small bezels.

                                      Huawei pricing is insane, $300 premium vs Xiaomi for what looks like might be one of the best cameras and an in-house SoC that might actually be flagship worthy this time.
