Huawei today announced the Mate 9, the latest iteration of its flagship, large-screen Mate series.
Unlike most previous flagship Huawei phones, this model will come to the U.S. Key specs include a 5.9-inch full-HD display, an evolved version of the Leica dual-camera system found in the P9, a Kirin 960 processor, 4 GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, memory card slot, NFC, IR port, and a USB Type-C connector supporting fast charging.
Its unibody metal design also contains a 4,000 mAh battery. The Mate 9 runs Android 7.0 with version 5.0 of Huawei’s EMUI OS tweaks. The camera supports bokeh, HDR, panorama, light painting (long exposure) and RAW capture. The Mate 9 will come in five colors: Space Gray, Moonlight Silver, Champagne Gold, Mocha Brown, and Ceramic White. Pricing and launch date for the U.S. will be announced at a later date.
A special Porsche Design variant will be available only in other markets.
