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.

help switching to p10 plus

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.

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.

P10 Plus - Oreo Update ("Dareken interface colours)

Hi Guys (and girls)
I'm considering getting a P10 Plus.
Can anyone confirm, if the P10 Plus received the feature, found on the Mate 10 Pro, called "Darken interface colours", after the Oreo update for the P10 Pro.
I've attached an image, taken from a Mate 10 Pro, to show how cool it looks.
Basically makes the whole Huawei interface black which looks great compared to the ordinary white background found on phones.
Thanks everyone
PS - I noticed I made a spelling mistake in the title. Sorry guys, I can't seem to correct it.​

No due to tge p10+ and the mate 10 comes with LCD while the mate 10 pro comes with amoled

Thanks 'chubbs75':good:
1) Is this also why the P10 Plus doesn't have the Always On option, in standby mode?
2) And is Always On only on Amoled screens?

Yep. You can have always on on LCD but pixels Will be lit up black so battery usage will be great.
On amoled just the pixels which displays the time lit up so it's saving battery.
I miss. My Lumia 950XL..

anyway to get any hand held night mode camera app?

it's shame to see mid rangers of huawei having this and Kirin 960 can't get it ... no Gcam , no stock hand held night mode , nothing at all .. why isn't huawei doing anything , does anyone has any idea to capture hand held night mode pictures with less noise and high brightness?

Huawei is doing it, get P20 Pro or Mate 20 Pro....

So, like other OEMs, wait for the community to port features to the older/other devices, but given that Huawei stopped allowing us to unlock their devices, the chances are slimmer and slimmer for anyone to care enough.

I love the 8pro. But oneplus9 is comming out soon

No tint issues with mine since launch! Great device and price nowadays, or wait for 1+9.

NO tint on my op8 pro. But on P40 you have better camera.
And in few days op9 Pro...

Again no tint issue here either, most people won't have a problem at all, it's a small number all in one thread.
Saying that, coming from a Huawei phone myself I would rather have a tinted 8 pro than any Huawei.
The difference in performance is staggering, especially the GPU.
The 8 pro is a worthy swap , especially if you root your phone and if you game or want 120hz
But as the 9 is about to drop I would opt for that instead if it were me.
Just avoid Verizon if that's your SP
