Huawei Mate 9


A new leak confirms that there will be three tears of Mate 9, each with different memory and color options.

The top model packs 6 GB of RAM and 256 GB storage. It has exclusive on the Black color and will cost CNY 4,700 (US$ 700/€ 630). Benchmarks have shown that the phone will have a 6" screen, Kirin 960 chipset and Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box. As you can see in the image, the Huawei Mate 9 packs a dual-camera system with 12MP sensors and 4K video, plus an 8MP/1080p selfie camera.

The other two models have 4 GB of RAM but differ on storage - 128 GB and 64 GB. They cost CNY 3,700 (US$ 550/€ 500) and CNY 3,200 (US$ 480/€ 430) respectively. The 128 GB model also comes in Brown and Pink, while the 64GB only offers the base colors - White, Gold, Graphite. There's a CNY 3,400 version of the 64 GB model, which (if we're reading this right) is a dual-SIM model (presumably the pricier models are dual-SIM only).

No word on a launch date, but it seems that Huawei has finalized the feature/pricing details on the Mate 9 so it can't be long now.
