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.
Hi everyone, an year ago I bought my Xperia z3 on Amazon on a sale for 200€.
Now the screen is staring to have some problems (dead pixels, warmer spots ecc), so Amazon told me I could either send it back to them and have my 200€ fully recharged OR send it to a Sony repair center.
Now my question is: is it worth repairing it under Sony's warranty? Or can I buy a better phone than Xperia Z3 for 200-250€?
Thanks in advance!
Have a look at the Honor 6x or the Nubia Z11 Mini S. Not really high-end compared to Sony Z3 though, but you can't get really high-end at a price of 250 € by focusing on the "standard" manufacturers (Samsung, Sony, LG, etc.).
You get quite good HW for little money when you decide to get phones from chinese manufacturers, yet the SW updates aren't always delivered and you may get bloatware and perhaps even spyware.

Thanks for replying. That's what I'm worried about, that z3 is still better than those phones. I mean, I could buy a Huawei p9 lite but meh, maybe Honor 8? That's a nice upgrade. Or I'll keep my money and buy some random xiaomi note, then put lineage asap
Well, the Honor 8 is about 100 € above your range.
The P9 is an alternative, the wife of a co-worker has it and is satisfied with it.
The Xiaomi Note is a phone from 2015, so the same as the Z3. And it doesn't have LTE 800, in certain countries it could be a problem.
Best buy now has the 6X for $179. I was debating this phone vs Moto G5S Plus or G5S Plus. The G5 is a steady $229 for 3gb and 32gb. Seems the Honor vs Moto is a very close rival like Mustang vs Camaro. Is the Moto worth $50 more? What is it with the Honor 6X to be so cheap now? I'm on T-Mobile network if their are any issues with that. Just curious how you guys feel vs the Moto. When I get off work I'm headed to Best buy as both are in stock
It's due to the soon to be released Honor 7x
Simply time is passing by, new devices will come out soon so is time for the "old" ones (neither 1 year from the exit date of 6X) to get ready to be shot out, it would be a nice move to sold the major quantity of 6X that are still in stock before the showcasing of new devices... you don't think? Jokes aside, the device hasn't nothing wrong. Great performances for a mid-range phone, satisfying camera, it only lacks on third-party development side since that Huawei sadly still have closed-source the codes for Kirin processors and so there aren't many developers interested, or willing to work on unknown sources... but the phone itself works very well.
I'm using the honor 6x on T-Mobile with no issues at all. LTE is working perfectly fine.

This is it.
I went thru 2 of the Honor 6x phones. Bluetooth problems with microphone on apps like Threema, Skype, Wire, etc. Beats X and Jaybird X3 both hated my 6x. Took Beats X back too, got Jaybird, and there's an issue with Note 4. I hope this Moto phone has zero issues as I've been using a Moto E4 (40 bucks) as a back up and it's the only stable phone of the bunch! Finally got fed up and grabbed the G5S Plus today. So far so good. I may give the 7x a shot in the near future, depends on the performance of this new Moto. I upgraded to the 4/64. I did love the feel and the usability of EMUI and the 6x, but broken Bluetooth is a deal breaker for me.
in India we had 6X in 50% discount last week for few limited numbers. Amazon provides good deals so we can get in 20% discount + cashback etc etc.
This is to clear the stocks before 7X and upcoming phones.

5X price is still more than 10K INR while it was launched at 13K INR.
6X was 13K INR but on sale it goes as low as upto 6-7K.
one of my friend purchased Honor 8 smart in 6.7K (700 cashback) while the phone was launched at 17K I think.

18k is not that bad..still 12k discount..
Let's see what price will be of honor7x
Here 5X's worth is down to like 140usd only.
In my country it is a challenge to get new flagship phones shortly after launch. For that reason, I tend to resort to eBay.
At this stage I can get a 256GB Galaxy Note 10 with 8GB RAM for U$900 or the 256GB Note 10+ with 12GB RAM for U$1030. (shipped)
In comparison, the best price I can find on the Huawei is the 128GB Mate 30 Pro with 8GB RAM in black for U$1100. (shipped)
The Huawei Mate 30 Pro has better camera hardware and Face ID technology but otherwise the Note 10+ has more storage, more RAM, MicroSD slot, dual speakers, higher resolution display, S-Pen and Google Mobile Services.
I really would like a Mate 30 Pro but I honestly think that Huawei is just asking too much. The phone is great but it isn't the best in every aspect of the hardware and it's unfortunately unable to use Google services.
It is not reasonable to ask U$1100 for the Mate 30 Pro.
If it was priced at U$850 - 900, I would probably have made the purchase already but instead, I'm contemplating the Note 10 despite having my heart set on the Mate 30 Pro.
Do you agree?
Wait a bit more time to buy it. HW sell at much lower price in China and Malaysia
Sent from my YAL-L21 using Tapatalk
Seems China price is about 30% less than Europe($810USD). If you can get someone buy you one and send to US, you probably end up paying $920-950USD(shipped) for 128GB 4G version.
And don't treat this piece of electronics same as other cheap product you found in Walmart made in China.
price on aliexpress with the Broken screen insurance
Honestly, if it's going to be hard to get Google services on this phone, then it can't compete with other flagships. Would need a massive discount for it to be considered good value.
Oneplus Nord price and design revealed? 261€ its a very good price! O hope it is true!

Nah it's about 500€.

In India, acc. to me base model of OnePlusNord will launch between ₹20k-25k
I don't see this device going for less than €499,
Pity really because they could give it for less
So it's not the same profil than before.... OnePlus is not a flagship killer (like OP5 with the last SOC 835 128/8Go for 529 €/$) now we have the same specs at the same price in 2020 with a low SoC, no 90hz screen, no stereo speaker, no IP68 cert... So always the same missing features, there any advantage to buy +500 $/€ this Nord phone instead a 7T at 499 €/$ or a Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro

No it's confirmed... 90hz was a non officiel information/leak specs, from some sources it's annonced only 60hz
So... Not "lol", i hope it's a mistake, because i want a 90Hz
From my point of view they failed to place the Nord as a successor to the X. They try to mark it eves as "more than a successor" but it is way to big to fulfill the role as a successor anyways for me. Also 500€ is not a "budget" phone, this is already a lot of money tbh. I had high hopes in this model but with this body size and price point this is already a nogo

Agreed, if this is 500 euros, it's dead in the waters.
If it was released in the U.S. at that price, it wouldn't be too bad.
But EU having so many options at budget pricing, this is a bad price.

Realme x50 came out at 349 with same chip so I can't see them justify a €500 price tag,
€400 would be fair but do think it will be hgher
is 399 euro or 499 euro (more ram and storage)
On Amazon there is an offer of €30 off the Nord in most countries like Spain and France of you have Amazon Prime so you can get it for €369 if you just sign up for a trial of Prime.
In UK the Offer is £379 minus £30 which is decent at £349
