Description

Huawei Mate 9 Porsche Design is the rumored "curved screen" version of the Mate 9, meaning that it has a flexible AMOLED screen that is wrapped towards both sides of the glass and metal fusion body, like on the S7 edge. The back is also curved symmetrically with the front, and meets at a point that is just 3mm thick, which Huawei calls "visual thinness". Other than that, it shares the new Kirin 960 chipset that ships with blazing A73 cores, beating even the Snapdragon 821 when it comes to raw power, but upgrades the RAM to 6 GB, and the storage to 256 GB. It also has the same Leica-stamped camera duo on the rear (like the Mate 9), but the finger scanner has been moved to the front here.

Great phone but needs some fine tunning on some areas

Posted: Apr 07, 2017, 4:06 AM

Phone owned for less than a year

I will start telling that I have always been a big fan of porsche design phones, but they were lately linked to blackberry which was getting obsolete in terms of os.
This phone has a great speed and performance doing normal tasks and even for hard gamers, the camera in general is great but slightly worse than the iphone 7 plus or the galaxy s7, but as a great pro I would highlight battery life...more than a day and fast charging.
What would make it perfect;
1. Ip67 or 68
2. Hdmi connectivity
With these two I believe it would be the market reference....something to get on thought guys from huawei and porsche, you are selling the most expensive phone in the top performance but still misses a couple of areas
