Yesterday we showed you several filtered images of what seemed to be the Huawei Mate 9 Pro, a new version of the Chinese manufacturer's flagship that would join the Mate 9 and Marte 9 Porsche Design that we already met days ago at the presentation event organized by Huawei. What we never thought is that just a few hours later we were going to know the official arrival of the market of this new version of the Huawei Mate 9.
As we could see yesterday, and again today, in the images of the new smartphone, the only details that change are in the design, with the incorporation of a curved screen. Some experts have already rated this Huawei Mate 9 Pro as a Cheaper version of the Huawei Mate 9 Porsche Design. Some less expert like me see in this device a terminal very similar to the Galaxy S7 edge.
First of all, we are going to review the main features and specifications of the new Huawei Mate 9 Pro;
- Dimensions: 152 x 75 x 7.5 mm
- Weight: 169 grams
- Display: 5,5 inches with 2560 × 1440 px resolution and curved
- Processor: Kirin 960 with 8 cores at 2.3 and 1.8 GHz
- GPU: Mali-G71 MP8
- RAM: 4 GB or 6 GB LPDDR4
- Memory: 64 GB or 128 GB expandable in both cases by microSD cards
- Rear camera: dual sensor with optical stabilization and signed by Leica, 12 megapixels color and 20 megapixels b / w
- Front camera: 8 megapixels
- Battery: 4.000mAh with fast charge
- Operating system: Android 7.0 Nougat with EMUI 5.0 customization layer
- Connectivity: USB type C 3.0, fingerprint reader and NFC
This third version of the Huawei Mate 9 has nothing to envy to any of the other two, and also to any other device of the so-called high-end market. Performance is also more than assured thanks to the Kirin 960 processor that Huawei has described as the best and most powerful processor on the market, beating almost all rivals, except for Apple's A10.
Price and Availability
The availability of this Huawei Mate 9 Pro is still pending confirmation from the Chinese manufactureroy is that some rumors suggest that it could be available only in China, although it would be strange if it did not reach Europe due to its high interest for a large number of users.
As for the price, it will be closer to the one with the Huawei Mate 9 than the one with the Porsche Design.
Here we show you the prices of the two versions of the Huawei Mate 9 Pro that will be available in the market;
- Huawei Mate 9 Pro with 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM: 4699 yuan (€ 632)
- Huawei Mate 9 Pro with 6GB RAM + 128GB ROM: 5299 yuan (€ 713)
