If you as me is loving the design of the Mate 9 Porsche but not the price, there is good news. The Mate 9 Pro has been released today in Scandinavia at a event held in Copenhagen. The Mate 9 Pro is basically the Mate 9 Porsche without the Porsche branding, and at around half the price.
The Mate 9 Pro was released in China a few weeks ago, but it is great to see it released in Europe.
Avalible for preorder now, delivery starts on 20. of december.
Price 5.999 DKK (appx. 800 EUR) for 128 GB version. Preorders includes a pair of Huawei AM185 Active Noise Cancelling earphones.
Full specs: http://consumer.huawei.com/dk/support/products/technicalspecs/mate9pro-dk.htm
It's a nice phone but the screen size is to small for my tastes. Hopefully they will still release the same specs with a 5.9 inch form factor.

Yep, 5.9 a must have!

Please post sample photos when you receive it [emoji6]
I like a Mate series screen to be big ha ha
Quad HD would have been nice but full HD is good too in real life if you don`t use VR.
Any online shop taking preorders?

Currently it is only available for pre-order. It will be delivered from december 20. It can be pre-ordered from most of the mobile service providers and a few tech-shops like http://www.elgiganten.dk/product/mo...T9PGY/huawei-mate-9-pro-smartphone-128-gb-gra and http://www.wupti.com/produkter/mobil,-gps-og-foto/mobiltelefoner/huawei/huawei-mate-9-pro-gold. I don't think they ship internationally thu, and the mobile service providers definitely dont.
The phone will probably be available from more shops after it becomes available for delivery.
It doesn't support SD card slot though. Neither does the Porsche edition apparently. They claim it's due to support for 3G/4G on the second SIM but from what I understand the regular Mate 9 does support both. Just wanted to throw that out there.
I'm currently strongly considering picking it up but I'm deeply concerned about dev support considering the Kirin SoC, multiple SKUs with varying specs and potentially few devs picking up the device due to price and availability.
The pro variant including porsche design scored less in performance and graphics compared to the full fledged Mate 9.
So choose what you want in your Mate 9. Performance or Looks.

That's a given. HIgher resolution display and the same chip in a bigger device usually gives a higher thermal headroom resulting in better benchmark scores but the difference should be negligible.

You know , I sold my Mate 9 for the only purpose of buying the Pro variant with 6gb/128 configuration.
Well until someone confirms that we can get a pro with Google play installed officially.

Well, as this thread indicates, the Pro can be bought with Google Play installed
(However, it will be released on December 20th, so that's a long way to go if you intend to install the Scandinavian ROM on what I assume is a Chinese variant?)
In fact, If I buy the Mate 9, I can only buy the Pro unless I buy from another EU country. The regular Mate 9 has not been launched in Scandinavia which disappointed many and they said at the time that they had no intentions of bringing it here. Fast forward three weeks and the Pro was announced to launch and the Pro will be the only Mate 9 variant in the Scandinavian market. So I'm guessing that the Pro might only be on the market in China and Scandinavia which makes me question the development for the device :/
It saddens me a bit that the Pro will actually be a step back in some regards compared to the regular variant: no SD card slot and slightly decreased SoC performance (as you mention), fewer color variants (only two colors for this market: gold and grey) - and some would say the fingerprint scanner moving to the front is a downgrade as well. I also saw some disappointment in the AMOLED display not being a 6" (or larger) one; the complaint being they wanted an actual big phone but I don't mind too much personally. I have a 5.2" device now and it already slips out of some of my pockets due to the size, so a 6" behemoth wouldn't help in that department
They probably couldn't source a decent AMOLED display at that size although I'm curious as to how well calibrated the display is. Huawei and other Chinese manufacturers haven't been known for their attention to that kind of detail. Samsung, the Pixel and the OnePlus 3(T) have well calibrated AMOLED displays but the rest of the market seems to neglect that.
Call me guilty, I put my Pixel XL for sale and bought a Mate 9 (second time after the gold M9) with my favorite color Space Grey (no more silly black borders).

Congratz! I knew you would come back...
Well, I bit the bullet and pre-ordered the Huawei Mate 9 Pro in Space Grey. So I'll be getting a nice Christmas present.
I just hope development for this device will pick up because it will certainly prolong the life of the device; however it does seem from reviews that it's a great device.
I'm coming from an LG G2 which has been somewhat of an underground success with a fantastic developer community around it, so I doubt any non-Samsung/Nexus/Pixel/OnePlus device can live up to that but hopefully it will be enough
I have the Porsche Design and placed alongside my mate 9 the screen size difference is negligible due to the on screen navigation buttons on the mate 9.
folks, thinking of buying either a Honor 6x or Moto G5 Plus....during Black Friday deals...
6x: $145 (32GB + 3GB ram)
g5 plus: $225 (64 GB + 4GB ram)
what makes sense?
usage : routine calls + messaging + intermittent surfing
user: elderly grand parent. So stability is important.
I don't mind flashing a new ROM and don't care too much about storage, I think 3GB ram will be good enough.
Thanks
Definitely the 6X because you can also set it to a simple mode which is nice.
Depending on your requirement 6X suites here as you said it will be used by elder parents so you may not flash many custom ROMs and need good battery also. 6X seems more suitable here.
I bought this Honor 6X for my parent(70yrs old).
First concern was no CDMA needed. He will use AT&T or Cricket. So both MG5+ and 6X were OK.
G5+ has more RAM, but it doesn't matter. He only make call or receive txt and simple apps such as google map and youtube. No 3D gaming.
So my last concern was battery. 6X has around 3300mAh and G5+ has only 3000mAh. Game set. My choice was Honor 6X.
Moto E4 Plus has 5000mAh, but that one wasn't tempting.
Cheaper is a better, but $100 difference is nothing to me since we don't replace phone more than 2 years unless it has damaged.
I went to Best Buy yesterday and looked at both. I needed to buy a smartphone ASAP and wanted to buy the 399USD Mate 9, but when I saw the size of it, I decided to look at the Honor 6X or Moto G5 Plus. The Honor 6X has hands down the most premium build. It looks and feels like a significantly more expensive device, more so than say Honor 8. 6X also has the fingerprint scanner when I want it to be, on the back. The only thing I didn't like about Honor 6X is the location of the headphone jack. It's at the top of phone which means when I put it into my pocket with the headphones plugged in, the plug will rub against the bottom of the pocket and will eventually break/wear out.
The Moto G5 Plus was slightly more expensive, with slightly better specs, but I didn't like the plain jane looks of it. You will never confuse the G5 for a more premium device than it is. In the end, I decided that I probably will never miss the extra 1GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage that the G5 offers, and the 149USD price for the 6X was just too good to pass.
So far I like my 6X. There isn't much software bloat, and you can uninstall most apps. The app drawer can be enabled in the settings. It's great value imho.
WHAT is the difference between Honor View 10 and Huawei Mate 10 ?
The Mate 10 has a glass body, Leica branded camera, and QHD screen.
The V10 has a metal body and FHD+ screen. Camera is not Lei a branded.
Pretty much it.
Honor V10 also has microSD slot and 3,5mm port.
So does the Mate 10.
The Mate 10 Pro does not.
Oh, sorry you're right. I mixed Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro. ?
Hi,
So, I was planning to go for the Note 10 plus but it's price has not decreased much even after the launch of the S21 series https://www.samsung.com/in/smartpho...y-note10-plus-aura-glow-256gb-sm-n975fzsdins/ Is the Note 10 lite worth it's price? It is about 20000 inr or $265 usd cheaper than the plus one. I can live with the plastic body (as a case will be used), the lower end camera is fine but the processor and no ois is a big turn off. Also I read somewhere that the note 10 plus is more 5g ready than the note 10 lite meaning the plus one supports more 5g bands. Is it true? Ofcourse a "pure 5g" phone is months away. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Anyone here have a RedMagic phone? How are they? Do they work with a lot of US carriers? I kind of want to use a budget carrier like Boost for $25 a month, but I may go back to Mint because it gets better service.
That new RedMagic 8 looks sexy if you ask me. Even the 7S Pro doesn't look too bad.I love the no notch display. Has some kind of cooling system in it.
8 has Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, 6000mAh battery (dual 3000mAh), 65w fast charting, 12 or 16GB memory, 6.8" screen.
The 7S Pro has Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, 5000mAh battery, 12 or 18GB memory, 6.8" screen.
