The premium Huawei Mate 9 is finally official and well-worth the wait, coming as the company's most powerful smartphone to date.
In fact, the new Mate 9 may just be the best alternative to the ill-fated Galaxy Note 7, which is no longer on sale following two recalls over explosive batteries. While unfortunate for Samsung, the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco left a rare opportunity for other smartphone makers to swoop in and fill the gap. Huawei seems up to the challenge and the new Mate 9 sure packs a punch.
Huawei officially announced its premium Mate 9 smartphone on Thursday, Nov. 3, accompanied by an exclusive Porsche Design Huawei Mate 9 edition, aiming to improve on every aspect of the smartphone experience.
"We know that for today's business users, a fast and functional smartphone is just the beginning," says Richard Yu, CEO of the Huawei Consumer Business Group. "Consumers also want a gorgeous design and intuitive features, so we created two new devices at the forefront of hardware and software innovation. The result is a device that is breathtakingly new, inside and out."
