After the duo flagship Huawei P9 and P9 Plus, it seems like the company is working on another beast called Huawei Mate 9 to release in the near future…

Huawei-kqBI-621x414@LiveMint-e1461917650746

Huawei Mate 9 to come with 20MP camera and Kirin 960 chip

Obviously, Huawei Mate 9 will be the direct successor to Huawei Mate 8 launched in November 2015. At the moment, there has been no word as well as leaks for Huawei Mate 9 design. However, we hope that the firm will be able to surprise us by making the Mate 9 even more premium and elegant than its predecessor, which is equipped with aluminum alloy for the back without any visible antenna gap, and brushed metal for the sides.

Spec-wise, according to the latest report, the handset will be powered by a new octa-core chip of Huawei called Kirin 960. In addition to Huawei Mate 9 specs, there will be LTE Cat.12 support and an up to 20MP dual rear camera. No doubt this is inspired by the Huawei P9, which introduced some days ago with a similar feature yet fewer megapixels.

Unfortunately, apart from the above specifications, the rest of the Mate 9’s hardware is still unknown. Though, basing on what is happening in the mobile market now, we guess it is very possible that the Huawei Mate 9 will boast a 6-inch 2K screen, 6GB RAM, 128GB ROM, an 8MP selfie snapper, a 4,000mAh battery and Android Marshmallow or maybe N OS (depending on Huawei Mate 9 release date). Well, do you think they are enough to make the device a “superphone”?

Huawei Mate 9 price and release date

If the Mate 9 takes after the 8, we will see the phone in the Q4 of 2016. As for Huawei Mate 9 price, no information related to that has got revealed. We’d better wait a bit more for the manufacturer’s official announcements in the next weeks. But, how much do you want the phablet to cost? How about $650? Share with us your opinions!

Huawei P9 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro: 4GB RAM phablets

Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) and Huawei P9 Plus are the latest 4GB RAM flagships of their own companies. Yet, what do you think is the winner if we put them into a comparison?

Huawei P9 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro

Huawei P9 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro: International 4GB RAM phablet war

Huawei P9 Plus vs Galaxy A9 Pro! It is the first time, everybody! They are all powerful 4GB RAM flagships the companies have just launched recently. About similarities, we can see each of them packs 4GB RAM, Full HD resolution, a Super AMOLED panel, Android Marshmallow OS (although they have a bit different versions: 6.0.1 for Samsung and 6.0 for Huawei, with Emotion UI 4.1 on top), a microSD card slot to expand its internal memory (up to 128GB), an 8MP selfie camera (with f/1.9 plus 1080p), a fingerprint scanner, and fast charging tech. In general, they are good phablets, but we still have to pick out the stronger, and differences may help.

In terms of Huawei P9 Plus specs, there are a 5.5-inch screen with 401 ppi, a HiSilicon Kirin 955 (quad-core 2.5GHz + quad-core 1.8GHz) chip, 64GB ROM, a dual 12MP rear snapper (supported by f/2.2, Leica optics, PDAF, plus dual LED flash), 3D Touch tech, stereo speakers, a USB Type-C port, and a 3,400mAh battery. Well, those are such top features for smartphones today, promising to bring you great experience in using. However, not all of them are better than Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro specs. Specifically, the A9 Pro (2016) owns a bigger display measuring 6.0 inches and a much larger cell capable of 5,000mAh. Your device will last at least more than 2 days.

Huawei P9 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro

However, for the rest, the A9 Pro seems less strong than its rival. It’s got only 367 ppi, a Snapdragon 652 (quad-core 1.8GHz + quad-core 1.2GHz) processor, and 32GB ROM. Some modern specifications like 3D Touch, USB Type-C and stereo speaker are not on board. As for main shooter, we cannot tell for sure whether the Galaxy A9 Pro’s 16MP sensor (equipped with f/1.9, autofocus, OIS plus LED flash) is also not as good as the Plus’s since in fact, it is an excellent cam as well.

Huawei P9 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro: Price and availability

Overall, spec-wise, Huawei P9 Plus is slightly stronger than the Galaxy A9 Pro. Nonetheless, price is another story. Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro price is about $540. Meanwhile, Huawei P9 Plus price is €749 (or $845), much higher than the Samsung’s product. So, in case of looking for a big phablet having a huge batt and a more affordable cost, Galaxy A9 Pro can be the right choice.
