Huawei Mate 9 Pro
The Mate 9 Pro will be
the dual-edge version of Huawei's high-end phablet to be unveiled in a couple
of weeks. So far known as Long Island, this tricked out model will offer QHD
resolution as opposed to the 1080p of Manhattan (Mate 9 proper).
Daydream has been the incentive here - Google's VR
feature will only be supported on the Mate 9 Pro, and not the vanilla version.
Not surprising, really - 1080p resolution stretched to 6 inches, and you'll
certainly be counting pixels, instead of enjoying VR.
Aside from those key differences, the Pro shouldn't
differ from the non-Pro. That means a Kirin 960 chipset, 4GB of RAM, storage
starting at 64GB and a dual camera setup on the back - complete with Leica
branding, of course.
