Even if I slide the fact that it's a chinese brand I still have issues with it:
- souch a Sammy copycat in therms of design!
- NO SD card
- NO waterproof
There's no point of asking about how stable their OS is or after the phone has been rooted since it doesn't fit my needs.
These are the only phones worth checking from my point of view:

      Nice specs but very copycat in terms of design. The front looks like s6 edge/+. Samsung should've patented the curved screen i swear. I hate samsung for not doing that.

            Anonymous, 08 Feb 2017It's weird that this is nearly the exact copy of the S6/S7 ... moreSince 1 Huawei purchases screen from Samsung anyways. 2 means more market to take in terms of screen sales to abet their profits

              Respect work those from Huawei. On the whole phones are worthy of cosideration mine. But reality show us something else. These technical features of the phone Mate 9 Pro, need to have problems medical perceptions of reality to buy the 800-900 euro also phone. Samsung S7 is better, as Mate 9 Pro, and a similar price. But a smart guy, knows as LeEco Pro 3, is the correct option, financially under 300 euros purchase price,and that technical equipment,like those two. This is why smart guys have success anywhere, anytime. Finally, they have extra money, 500-600 euro in their pockets and are chosen with an exceptional phone LeEco Pro 3.

                lol. big respect to sammy, they actually selling those flex amoled display to their (potentially)
                biggest competitor. they have confidence in their own devices.

                        Why does everyone insist on calling phones like this "bezel-less" ? The top and bottom are also bezels, this is NOT bezel-less.

                          All you guys keep saying This phone looks like that and that Phone looks like this.
                          All phones look the same
                          I like to see guys create a phone with a Different Body design

                            It's weird that this is nearly the exact copy of the S6/S7 and yet Samsung doesn't say anything but Apple back then make a freakin big deal out of the Samsung design which looks only slightly similar (most phones look slightly similar to one another anyway).

                              Those that say Huawei is ripping off or copy Samsung get real. There only so much one can do bit like the car industry.
                              Now since most of the Huawei Mate 9 Pro screen are coming from SAMSUNG... Hey ho surprise surprise, it cheaper to sell off products that you already have and have factories set up for a product already then to make a new screen for other companies or devices...
                              So yes from the front it does look like a SAMSUNG... BUT OVER ALL a better looking device this Mate 9 Pro..

                                I know that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all, but the front of this phone is a straight copy off the Samsung S6E/S7E! Not surprising for a Chinese company, what with all the knock off BMWs, Minis, Toyotas, etc. they produce there with impunity.

                                  Everyone is saying that they're copying huawei, but I doubt you could make anything much more different with a curved display. I actually really love the design.

                                      My first impression of this hands on was like, I'm seeing the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge in Gold colour until I saw the rear of the phone. Good job Huawei ripping off the Sammy design.

                                        I hope Samsung has some cash from this design cos the front is just like Samsung phones.
