I know it looks like this question has been asked before, but most of the answers revolve around OnePlus 3T being cheaper. But for some reason they cost the same in my country. so i want to know which one you'd choose if they were the same price.
I would really like to have the bigger screen of Mate 9, but I've heard that Huawei phones are not durable and will have lower performance after a while. is this true? this is a very important factor for me because i wont be able to buy another phone anytime soon, so i'll have to do with it for a time (preferably more than 2 years!).
Thank you ladies an gentlemen in advance for all your wise advice!

Are you kidding me about Huawei durability? Also, lower performance? After a while??? Bro, I don't think you are talking about the Mate 9. https://youtu.be/-x7s_amjJso
The only thing OP3T has over the Mate 9 to me is development (custom ROMs) cos of the Qualcomm SoC, Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 960 is a beast but lacks outside support.
Being a security enthusiast, I want to have things like Kali Linux installed which I unfortunately can't.
Other than this reason, it's a smack down by Mate 9 over OP3T in every department (I don't care about OLED screens, this is just fine).

Thank you my friend. As i said, this is just something I've heard people say, and people who have only had mid-range Huawei phones. I am glad to hear that this is not the case with Mate 9. I'm not too worried about my security, and if the UI is fine (and it seems to be), i have no problem with not being able to install custom ROMs.
Thank you for helping me decide!
I had the OnePlus 3 not the 3t and I made the switch to the mate 9 and I have no regrets. The mate 9 is a super phone. The OnePlus is for ppl who likes to flash roms and I tried them all until I eventually got tired because it's more of the same. I love the battery on the mate 9! It all depends on what the user wants.
I switched from oneplus 3t.
Bigger screen, bigger battery, camera is way better. Custom ROMS? I`m fine with mate 9 rooted debloated stock
No I definetely dont regret about my oneplus 3t
Mate 9 easily. Bigger screen, bigger battery, faster charge, micro SD support. I've had both.
3T IS faster with 6 GB ram ( Comparitively I have 6GB Chinese model rebranded to USA of mate 9) but Battery life on 3T stinks compared to mate 9.
I think Mate 9 is still better than the last Oneplus 5.

I have had the mate 9 for almost 3 months. I came from a LG G4 and it is a beast. I almost bought an op3t but the battery life and not overheating made me buy this phone. For me that was a must even playing high demanding games it runs cold.
Coming from an OP3, first I wanted to go back to my OP3, but gave the Mate 9 a chance.
After using the M9 for a week I couldn't go back...

I went from the mate 9 to theOnePlus 3T via the G6 and the GS8. Put it this way: if the mate 9 had wifi calling (Tmobile), I would have never gotten any of the other phones I list. It's that good.
I came to the Mate 9 from the OnePlus 5, and the only thing I miss is the front-facing fingerprint sensor
First, forgive me if this isnt the correct place to post this question. I am in the market for a new phone. I currently have a 6s+ and it is tapping out. I am with Metro PCS so I buy my phones outright. If money weren't an issue I would do the Mate 10 or Note 8, but it is and so here I am. Please give me opinions on the best phone to get from my list. My biggest concerns would be making sure the camera is on par with what I have and the processor. I think the Mate 9 has a better/faster processor but not sure if it is much difference from the other two. Also I don't see the difference in the Honor 7x and the Mate 10 lite spec wise.
Thanks
as you can see at my profile, i own both models Honor 7 and Mate 9.
I prefer Mate 9 because of the bigger screen and the better battery and performance.
The Mate 9 will get OREO update in the near future!!!
Unfortunately the firmware of Honor 7 is no longer updated!!!
So the fw is affected of the BT & W-Lan security issue.
This can be fixed only if Phone is rooted and running with a custom rom.
At my opinion, the LG G5 (changable battery!)or G6 are also very interesting and inexpensive phones.

It's Honor 7X, not Honor 7. Released december 2017
I would personally look at the oneplus 5t if budget is good

didn’t use my glasses, sorry! Post deleted!
I love the mate 9 but just got a great deal on a new view 10,i was going to wait until June for my upgrade for the mate 10 Pro, but at £350 sim free I can't grumble.
Anyone used this phone
Cheers
Will be selling my mate 9 mint condition for £280
I just sold my Huawei P10 last week. Bought it last november. It was my first loved Android phone ever. But since the 4K video quality was bad i sold it.
So hopefully i will recieve my Oneplus 6 next week. Bigger screen and maybe much better looking 4K video than P10.
I never used a Oneplus phone before. I just bought it. I really dont know why i bought it before see the phone

Hello mates,
Can you tell me which one is better or which one do you prefer more - Honor 9 EMUI 5.1 or Xiaomi Mi6 MIUI 8.0?
And which one is better Honor or Xiaomi considering stock ROM updates and custom ROMs?
Mi6 is much better in terms of custom roms and development.And games prove to be running smoother on Mi 6 currently.However since huawei is going to add GPU Turbo on Honor 9 so it remains to be seen later...And personally I do think Honor 9 is prettier than Mi 6
Yes, I agree with you Mi6 has much more powerful chipset Snapdragon 835 than Kirin 960, but Honor 9 looks prettier than Mi6 and somehow better build quality.
But what about camera quality and which is better running EMUI or MIUI?
Honor comes with EMUI 5.1, but as I've seen it should be upgraded to EMUI 8.1 with OREO 8.1 in near future.

Currently it is EMUI 8.0 and I don't know whether there will be 8.1.
I think MIUI is better in many aspects (more themes,more interesting functions,etc.)But it depends on your own taste.And Xiaomi has a better reputation in bug fixing and software update (while Huawei don't).Many users hate the low update speed.
About camara,some of my friends complain about Mi 6's poor photos.I am fully satisfied with Honor 9 camara.Its quality is great!
And to say about one of the heating topics,Project Treble,honor 9 bootloops on some treble roms.Also it is known that Huawei phones brick easily.So If you are a flash addict like me I do advise not purchasing Honor 9.(I must be dreaming for I didn't look through the development section before buying)
