I believe the Mate 9 ( mine Chinese firmware B153) has the function for call recording as it is in the call setting to activate it. I haven't tested to confirm if it works though. May give it a try later.
The Mate 9 has no Quickcharge, only Supercharge. Thats a big different because this work only with the orig. Huawei charger .
And i compare it to my Axon 7 and see the Axon in front, Axon has better camera, better real stereo audio and a good accu for a QHD Amoled display. And its much cheaper then a Z11 or Mate 9.

I had the axon 7 before the mate 9. It's the axon 7 screen size, camera, and software that lets it down in comparison. Battery life isn't bad on the axon 7, but it is bad in comparison to the mate 9. It's a lot cheaper though, so...
The axon 7 camera just isn't very good. One of the software issues is that the axon 7 keeps killing background processes when you switch between apps even if you change the battery settings. It's pretty frustrating sometimes.
I will not break out a big discussion, that my impression. And you forget one thing: The mate 9 cost double then the Axon 7 and it is worth this? No.

Sorry mate, don't mean to offend you But why are you here? Go to your forum make the comparison there. I'm really happy with my Mate 9 is a magnificent device no complaints here and some of the features missing they can put it with an update so.... What's the point of all this?
Must you read this thread? No, so be happy with your phone, fanboy. Its not my first Huawei phone and there update politic was not the best in the past. The Mate 9 is not a bad phone with potential but for me too many bugs at the moment for a 700€ phone.

As I said already it's a lot cheaper, so yes that is obvious. Is almost double the battery life, larger screen but lower res, better camera and better software worth the higher price? That's up to others. I like the mate 8 even better than the axon 7 and that you can get for cheap...

I'm not a fanboy. In fact it's my first Huawei and I'm very pleased with it. Of course like every phone isn't perfect but its a he'll of a phone in performance and battery. Camera it's very good in manual mode you just have to play with it a little bit.

Agreed. I've had the Axon 7, Pixel XL, Moto Z Play, HTC 10, S7 Edge (still have) and the OnePlus 3. For me, PERSONALLY, I like the Mate 9 the most. Camera is excellent, screen is a joy and gets bright/dark enough for my liking and the ability to change the color temp is nice. Speaker sound is not as robust as the Axon, maybe on par with the HTC10, but I couldn't care less about that, it's not a boom box for me. The speakers are quite good. I use headphones 100% of the time if I am listening to music. The axon can only use the hi-fi DAC if you are using ZTEs own music app which is hot garbage. Music through the Mate's headphones on both of my pairs of Audio Technicas sound nice. I wouldn't call it audiophile class obviously, but it's good. The battery life is great, on par in my usage with the Z play but I find the battery life is the Z plays literal only selling point. The mate 9 is better in every other measure I can appreciate. The Pixel XL is nice and the camera is excellent, but it's also more money. The Pixel XL is unnecessarily huge. Same size essentially as the Mate 9 even though it's screen is appreciably smaller. I'd rather get an M9 and pocket the difference, which is what I did.

I'm waiting for the unlocked US996 V20 to come out, and also to see how the Mate 9 stacks up.
there some report that mate9 support sprint but if it really do I will definitely look at it
Great design. This phone lost me at 1080P screen.
Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk
1080p screen = pass imo. V20 wins
Really? At this point anything past 1080p is just a difference in epenis status and brag rights.
The only point in higher resolution is for vr, but because the screen is IPS it wouldn't be supported anyways.
I was worried about the 1080p too, and a lot, but when I checked last year's mate 8, it was still gorgeous, I don't think I'd see a difference without VR
I'm thinking of Huawei Mate 9 because the V20 isn't available in the UK. Can a 1080 screen still be used by Google's daydream?

No problem with the screen resolution.
If Huawei software wasn't that awful, I might consider this Mate 9. But their Emui is unbearable.

Each to their own, Emui is actually very good and the Mate 8 was a mile better than the v10 and I'm hoping the Mate 9 will be better than the v20. A lot of people can't get past the lack of an app drawer on Emui which they've fixed in v5 and you can always download launcher of choice.
I sold my Mate 8 in preparation for buying a Mate 9 and am stuck with my work supplied Oneplus 3 which again doesn't compare to the Mate 8.
What's so good about the Mate 8, battery life, size screen which is subjective I know, build quality etc and the Mate 9 looks like it will only be better in every way.
But, can I wait for the Mate 9 or do I try the v20 for a few weeks......

How does Huawei do software support? My experience is that LG, while they don't provide updates for very long, tend to kick out their updates faster than others (second only to google)

If the past is any indication, LG tends to offer the best promo offers right at first and go down from there. The v10 promo was initially 200gb SD card, spare battery and battery cradle. Then it went to 64gb with extra battery and battery cradle. To just one or the other (64gb or extra battery)
Sent from my LG-H901 using XDA-Developers mobile app
In the battery department they're way different, mate 9 is miles ahead, but I'm kinda sad that all my Qualcomm quick charge accessories will be worthless if I go with the mate 9..by the way google says mate 9 is compatible with Vr.
I'm pretty sure lgs camera is better in low light, coming from S6 which I believe is the best camera yet, I can't downgrade
Thanks! Also, I've seen some Mate 9 photo/video comparisons after Huawei gave the phone to reviewers. The Mate 9 is badly in need of a software update and is obviously not working optimally. (The stabilisation for example, sucks!) So doing any kind of in depth comparison at this point is unhelpful imo, until the software update.

The Mate 9 specs are now up
http://consumer.huawei.com/en/mobile-phones/tech-specs/mate9-en.htm
while it may work OK on T-mobile and AT&T, it is missing the proper CDMA and LTE 13 bands to work on Verizon.
Still wish they would release a US Unlocked model that would work for all the US carriers.

I had a chance to play with thew new Samsung and LG devices. even though they are wider, their screens feel significantly smaller than the Mate 9. Their email software is better than M9 IMHO. Cameras, though not as creative as the M9 benefit from lower aperture (1.7 and 1.8 vs 2.2) which was clear when I took low light shots with them at a Verizon Store.
Anyone else have a chance to do a compare?
I can't stand Samsung bloatware on their devices and am enjoying my near stock Android platform on the Mate9.

G6 S8 will have better cameras and display is optional, CPU performance and overall performance the Mate gonna dominate both, battery life there is no competition, now imagine a Mate 10 with 10nm Kirin 970 and 4500mah or even the same 4000.
For next mate, they have to improve software even more and cameras, F 1.8 like on P10P as well on front, a 13MP f1.8 with OIS would be a killer for accurate selfies under low light.

Agreed that Huawei's Android Email app is not as good. I personally use Nine ($9.99), I think it is the best email client for Exchange/Active-sync mail. However, Nine doesn't support Google and I used Gmail for that
Hm. I've had all the S Galaxy series. The only one I remained with was the Note 4. Best one overall. The rest, the battery sucks. Simple.
The G6 is good but it's too slow and too stuttery coming from the Mate 9.
Both have better screens....and the Samsung cameras have been rocking since the S3. Huawei will have to catch up there.
I'm with the Mate 9 until the Note 8. And I love Emui. Just love it.
Sent from my MHA-L29 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I'm going to give the S8 a go. That screen really is incredible. The camera in low light was the item that I found most frustrating on the Mate 9. I haven't tried the p10 to see if it's really better in low light. I already miss the Bokeh having returned the mate 9. It's so unique. But low light shots were always far too noisy.
Hello everybody i have mate 9 pro and i was thinking to upgrade to p10 plus , but is it Worth it? The shop said they will buy the mate 9 pro from me for 705$ and the p10 plus costs 684$ so can someone help me to decide?
What perceived benefit do you think you'll get? Apart from microSD I can't see anything... (slightly better camera maybe)
No. Wait for Mate 10 with its Kirin 970. P10 plus definitely not an upgrade to Mate 9 pro which has larger battery and curved Amoled screen. And from the pricing as well, Mate 9 pro is considered by Huawei themselves as more higher range than P10 plus.

A good chance of seeing another 5.5 inch Mate 10pro to compete with Iphone 8 plus and other 5.5inch category phones. Unless Huawei pulls off a bezel less and the screen size become less relevant. Too early to tell. Also rumors of Honor 9 being released in a 5.5inch version in addition to the 5.1inch, in which case it would have a lot similar specs to P10 series but in a different body and cheaper price tag. But with owning a Mate 9 pro, a proper upgrade will be in Mate 10 series which will have the new Kirin 970.
Can't tell you if better than your previous phone only just upgraded from Sony Z3.... Yes I said that right I came from Z3 to the p10+. The camera is better, the internal memory 128gb is better, having Nougat straight out the box is better Z3 was left at early realise of mm, having finger Id is new to me.
The touch screen is a little unresponsive someone's I need touch screen 2 or 3 times before it acknowledges the touch.
The only major downside is I'm unable to root, which up to now all phones I've rooted.
I'm impressed by the phone and battery life, I've had phone for just over 2wks.
Sent from my VKY-L09 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
It's not really an upgrade, more of a side grade. I've switched from the regular Mate 9 to the p10 plus. Battery life is worse but camera is slightly better especially in low light.
Hi,
I am going to buy a new phone but I can't decide what to buy. I have 3 options. Oneplus 5, Huawei P10 or Huawei Mate 9. Since all of them really powerfull I focused on camera, design and battery. Which one should I buy?
Oneplus 5 has a great camera. The Huawei P10 is no slouch either.
I am not a fan of the Huawei Mate 9 design, I lean more towards the P10 and OnePlus 5.
The battery life on OnePlus 5 is excellent I'm getting about 7 to 8 hours of screen on time.
PS. I'm not a fan of the stock launcher on Huawei either. I would want to change it to Nova launcher really quickly.
I would get the OnePlus 5 but I am obviously a bias on the matter. All in all they are great options, and I don't think you would be disappointed in any of them.
You could try the honor 9. It sounds really good too. The camera seems to be focused on being high powered. I'd go for that one as opposed to the other Huawei phones you mentioned
It comes down to what you want. Do you want stock-ish android with tons of custom rom support? And the easiest bootloader unlock on android (Will grow even more in the future) or are you okay with the bloated emui with next to no ROM support?
I have a oneplus 5 and my mom a mate 9. Emui constantly nags her about shutting down nova launcher amongst other apps. It won't even allow her to open them at certain points. And it has very, VERY aggressive ram management.
Now they're both extremely fast phones with great cameras ..
The mate 9 is significantly better at battery life.. But my oneplus 5 will get me through the day for sure. The mate 9 would bee more like a day and a half.
It really comes down to what you want. You should give us some more information on your preferences.

Thank you very much! One day in long usage is fine. Mate 9 is really big and heavy. Also I have to change it's region after I buy it beacuse i can't buy it with official warrenty. Region change is hard because of bootloader and there aren't much developers.
What about P10? I can buy P10 with official warrenty. Price of P10 and Oneplus 5 are almost same here.

Honestly, there's no comparing the ease of using the oneplus 5 to any huawei device with region changes/ bootloader unlock/ dev community.. Personally I give the edge to the oneplus for simplicity. There's no hoops you have to jump through to operate your phone. The mate 9/p10 are all hoops.. My mom can't get updates on her mate 9 because she lives stateside..
Again, I think the battery size the mate 9 or p10 have over the oneplus 5.. But if you're charging every night, it won't make a difference. Furthermore, the availability of dash charge accessories is more widely available than the mate 9 super or turbo charge accessories.
Don't get me wrong, both are great phones, but really, the oneplus offers a better software experience I think, which is the most important part I think..with So many other aspects being so close.
4k eis on oneplus 5 is incredible btw..

Huawei P10 has 3200Mah battery. I think OnePlus 5's battery goes more than P10's. Am I correct?
The camera of p10 is better imo, it can take black and white shots etc. Also it has official Huawei warrenty.
Battery is more important for me so I think I will go for OnePlus 5. Thank you very much for that great informations.
Lastly I heard OnePlus5 outdoor brightness is not enough, what do you think about it?

Actually, the outdoor brightness is surprisingly good! The OP5 has a screen that seems very similar to the S8, in terms of brightness and colors (my opinion). It's a really good Super Amoled screen compared to the rest of the Flagships aside from Samsung.
Maybe you get biased thoughts, since you are on a 1+5 forum.
I was in the same doubt as you, between 1+5 and Mate 9.
What I discovered reading many threads and watching many videos is:
- Mate 9 takes better photos, has better sunlight legibility (besides being amoled, 1+5s screen under sunlight sucks), have better battery life (slightly, because SD835 is very power efficient), have better audio recording and video recording, have better loudspeakers and better cell signal reception.
- 1+5 is faster (not by a big margin), is lighter and not bulky (Mate 9 is very big), have better WiFi performance and much better community development.
Android O is on schedule to Huawei phones, but certainly will come much faster to 1+5.

I need change my nubia z11 mini s, the volume of calls is unusable is so low, never was good at all. I have found an offer about 200 euros is like new on amazon, i was looking to get redmi note 7pro, xiaomi 8 or meizu 16 I love meizu design and camera looks pretty nice but lacks of support and scene. Maybe in a future I will buy nokia 9 pureview.
I am not sure about to do, I had a desire and keeping good memories. But it just have one camera, could i have bouquet efect pictures? The frames really doesn't like me but and size. I am looking as well a good mic for calls, before the z11 I had a sony z3c and as well fails on mic calls was horrible in the end of phone live.
The phone is still worth it? Seems that doesn't have too may scene and rooms. In Spain this brand is dead literally really few people have it.
Do still buy it nowdays?
Thank you
Edit: I can buy brand new mi8 about 300 euros, mi mix 2s 290 euros or htc u11 like new on amazon about 200 euros. Which do you prefer?

I have found an offer about 200 euros is like new on amazon, i was looking to get redmi note 7pro, xiaomi 8 or meizu 16 I love meizu design and camera looks pretty nice but lacks of support and scene. Maybe in a future I will buy nokia 9 pureview.
I am not sure about to do, I had a desire and keeping good memories. But it just have one camera, could i have bouquet efect pictures? The frames really doesn't like me but and size. I am looking as well a good mic for calls, before the z11 I had a sony z3c and as well fails on mic calls was horrible in the end of phone live.
The phone is still worth it? Seems that doesn't have too may scene and rooms. In Spain this brand is dead literally really few people have it.
Do still buy it nowdays?
Thank you
Edit: I can buy brand new mi8 about 300 euros, mi mix 2s 290 euros or htc u11 like new on amazon about 200 euros. Which do you prefer?

buy htc u11 and you will have no regrets!
just yesterday I sold an oneplus 6 to go back to the htc u11: it's a fabulous phone, nice touch & feel, fantastic camera, nice display, fantastic size, superlative videos with super 3D audio, fingerprint reader very fast to unlock it.
Even today I think the htc u11 is a fantastic phone that can compete with all the other top on the market, even in 2018-2019.
It has only one defect: the updates.
If it's not a problem for you, you can not spend your money better.
And then you also have Amazon's guarantee!
On what Amazon did you find it for 200 euros?
Forgive my English: I use Google translator.
I got HTC U11 for about 250 USD around a month back. It is a great phone. I bought it keeping it as a backup phone and using Note 8 as a main phone but it happened vice versa.
Absolutely recommend even in 2 years from now you won't regret it !

Suggest to go for U11, the main problem is hard to get new software and probably no official Pie to taste. I've got U11 and RedMi 5 Plus and my friend just got a Mi 8 Lite yesterday.
The camera is superb on U11 and Mi 8 Lite(the same camera with Mi8 without OIS and aperture down to f1.9 from f1.8) is far away from U11. I've also got a Sony Z5 Compact and the photo/video quality on Mi 8 Lite is only about the same to Z5c in reality with faster dual pixel focus, never fully believe reviews on net, some are paid. I guess the Mi 8 does better but won't come close to U11 in real life usage.
If you are looking for RedMi note 7 pro, the good is 4000mah battery with sd675 u will receive least 50% more battery life over U11 with downgraded cpu and camera.
Nokia 9 is good only for taking photo with a crazy 12.4 stops dynamic range but photo lacking of details and the video quality comes out from Nokia 9 is bad too.

HTC said U11 Pie is still working on so I think we will receive latest security patches later.
U11 all the way. Its way underappreciated phone. Excellent screen, speakers. Superb camera with/without gcam port. Good battery life. Has custom ROM development as well with unlockable bootloader. Its the last issue-free phone from HTC.

Hi,
I bought one last week, loving it so far. I came from a Samsung S7 and there are almost identical apart from nice large screen on U11 and better front camera.
It has a nice UI, ROMS on here are good. Battery life good.
I got one on EBay for 185 Euros in perfect condition.

I would recommend it, if you can purchase it at a decent price, and if you are comfortable installing LineageOS. The combination of the U11 hardware, the LineageOS software, and the Google Camera app make this phone still, to this day, one of the smoothest phones that can take great pictures.
I have owned it for 2 years and plan on holding onto it for another year, or until there is significant improvement in the Google Pixel line.
In my case the camera especially when you use stock camera app. isn't good. Too much noise, but if you use Google camera mod it changes everything. Battery backup is decent, even when my device is 2 years old now.
