The editors didn't like
Screen resolution is relatively low
Bland design
Camera lags behind top competition
Pricey
Price Tag
Availability
A bit of a boring design
Some quirks with EMUI 5.0
Lower screen resolution than rivals (regular Mate 9)
Camera not quite effortless as GS7/Pixel
Finicky capacitive buttons (PD Mate 9)
Lots of crapware that you can't delete
Camera could produce better low-light photos
Uncertain price in the US
Not waterproof or water-resistant
Display isn't suitable for VR
Not physically durable
There's a bit of bloatware preinstalled
And Huawei still needs to fix the EMUI lock screen
The Mate 9 uses a Huaweispecific fastcharging tech called SuperCharge. It's fast but not compatible with other fastcharging standards
It's only 1080p
And many b
Waterproofing
Disappointing camera clarity and HDR performance in some situations
Relatively large top and bottom bezels
Poor external audio
Not dustproof
Not waterproof
Limited US carrier support
Button/Fingerprint sensor placement creates some fumbling
No support from Verizon
Sprint
And other CDMA carriers
A bit too large
Software could be better
Very expensive
Expensive
Max volume had some crackling noise and music doesn't sound the same. A few times the camera would have colors look as if they're faded
Could probably do with a higher res display at its size (Pro version)
Proprietary fast charging tech means no third party accessories
Dull design
Not water-resistant
Grainy low-light photo
Restricted to GSM carriers (AT&T and T-Mobile)
We expected more from the dualcamera Leica system
No waterproofing
Not available through US-based carriers (must buy SIM separate)
Pre-installed screen protector scratches easily
Speaker quality not top-notch at highest volume
Display just 1080p across 6.2-inches
Its screen is only full HD and its design is utterly forgettable
We'd prefer a higher resolution display
Camera software is complex to navigate
No enhanced water protection
Poor headphone audio
2016 has proven to be an interesting year for fans of larger phones. Where we used to have numerous big screen experiments
Display is below par. EMUI (software) is improving
But still needs work. Camera underperforms in weak lighting
Only supports GSM carriers
Mediocre camera quality in low light
Polarizing skin will turn off Android purists
But only as hybrid slot
MicroSD-cards cannot be formatted as internal storage
