Is the Huawei Mate 9 as good-looking as you are (despite your receding hairline, adult-onset acne, and massive weight gain)? Rate this thread to express whether you think the Huawei Mate 9 is attractive. A higher rating indicates that you would even go as far to say that the Huawei Mate 9 is a beautiful phone.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
It looks really good, good quality build, and its actually not that big comparing to my relative small hands
very nice for the relative low cost compared to pixel/iphone etc
I was just looking at The LG G6.... It's a beautiful phone, but this thing on small bezels only applies to the top and bottom. The Mate 9s side bezels are just as tiny... In fact, they look tinier!
The only thing with the Mate 9 is the top and bottom of the rear frame. Sloppy.
It isn't an edge screen, so it's liked.
Think it is better looking than a s7 edge. Some friends that own a s7 edge think this as well. It is minimalistic but very well done. Small logo nice stainless steel
is it easier to hold with one hand than the nexus 6?
thanks

I have the Mate 9.

My friend commented on the phone, he likes the colour the feel etc. He's on the S6 edge plus. I had the s7 edge before this for a week and chose the mate 9 primarily because it didn't have the curved edges.
The Pro was therfore not worth it for me. I think the device feels premium, the body colour and materials are superb.
I have the gold/mocha.
Look very good, some kind of generic according to the most recently launched phones like op3 and others that have similar build, but is very pretty after all. In my opinion s7 edge I've had before has better looking with the survey screen but it's only until you turn on the mate 9 screen.

Likewise, it's not overdone and quite elegant in my opinion. Taking it a step further with Elegance or similar theme, gold tinted icons for apps blends into the phones look quite nicely. Then customised slightly further with theme editor.
Then I've a case protector that's black, gold trim, for sales season, handing around with gallery images, accepting payments, social outing etc.
and second case that spoils all the above, love mei tough case and no concerns about working around the farm with it Turns it into a ruggedised tablet. (if you get one, scratch off paint directly below the front proximity sensor, else the invisible light sensor is blocked and auto dims to max.
Compared to 5.5 inch phones our 5.9 Mate looks smaller (e.g apples 7 plus < Mate9 dimensions) Top quality compared to my previous phones, you get what you pay for.
Huawei did a great job with Mate 9
Beautiful, my only love
It's a rectangular slab of metal, plastic and glass. I base my buying habits, on the INSIDE quality of the phone, not how "sleek, sexy, colorful & stylish" it is. Right now, this is my 3rd Huawei phone. It's the quality of the inside of the device, that keeps me coming back.
Hey....looks are important!
Give me a slow moving, lush looking car over an over-powered crate on wheels any day!
I have to want to be with and feel good with my phone. It's in my hands all day. I look at it every time I use it.
This - it's what it does that matters - doesn't cut it for me. Nah.
It's got to look good and feel good to me.
Having owned a Mi 9 for almost a week now I am blown away by the quality of the camera on it. I already knew that Xiaomi brought their A game with cameras as I owned the Mi 8 and Mi 8 Pro.. but they stepped it up with the Mi 9
I actually prefer it to my P20 Pro in most cases. I took a few test images. The P20 Pro shots are grossly oversharpened and I don't find them to look as nice. What do you think?
Mh, I think the P20 pro pictures are better but Google camera > MIUI camera. The MI9 has one of the best (if not the best) sensors on the market, a true 48mp sensor ^^ try google camera, you'll probably like it!
Don't!
I've swapped my mi8 for mi9tpro two weeks ago, and man did I made a mistake:
- mi8 is much comfortable to hold in hand
- mi8 has unmistakable and fast as hell fingerprint reader (fpr), mi9tp has hit/miss and slow fpr.
- face unlock is unusable and slow on mi9tp, on mi 8 works i every light scenario and it is instant.
- battery life is similar on both devices (5-6H SOT)
- gcam works perfectly on mi8, on mi9tp it uses too high iso values and it crashes a lot
- speed is similar on both phones, but eu rom on mi8 is perfect and was much speedier for me then mi9tp
- only thing that i like on mi9tpro is video with ultrawide camera, but man, it is not worth the money.
Anyway sold mi9tpro, a buyer should pick it up this afternoon. Bought mint condition 128GB mi8, and saved 200E
Thanks for your opinions, surely it'll give an idea to users.
I was thinking of doing the same.Selling mi8 and buying mi9t pro or OnePlus 7.I m closer to OnePlus now.Thanks.
Can i ask how much have you bought mi8 128? (Used i believe).

200€ used, mint condition, in Croatia.
My friend has op7p, it is too big and heavy for me, and curved screen is inconvenience.

Wow, thanks for your input. I was about to sell mine for the same price here in BiH, but I was concerned about the size and handling...and I was counting on much better battery.
Maybe non pro model is better choise in therms of battery life...

can completely agree your opinion, i had the same with a MI8 and the MI9, MI8 was a superior phone and as i switched to the mi9 there was a lot i was complaining about, ... especially the missing OIS in camera.
Mi8 with google cam is unbeatable so i can feel with you !
Good, to know that. Now i was think about , that i sell my MI8 256gb and i buy the MI9T PRO 128gb.So, i stay by MI8. Thx
If anyone needs a cheaper phone, or maybe wanting to a buy a phone to give as a gift.
I bought my 15 yr old daughter a Xiaomi A3 and I must say that I am really impressed with its speed, excellent camera, and overall beauty. Plus it comes with Android One, and she loves it. no doubt that it is perfect for a teenager, parent, wife or girlfriend and with its 665 processor its faster than I expected.
Finally the screen resolution may only be 720P. However the Amoled panels makes the lower PPI, hardly noticeable, and the colors are much better when comparing the A3 panel to 1080 LCD panels.
Remember 1 thing mi 9T pro its still new device that need some time to be stable of any rom also how they got same sot? Mi 9 t pro got 4k mah and snap 855 its kinda got reduced consumption of battery so maybe you dint try it much? I can agree about OIS at camera point.

Do you mean the camera on Mi8 is superior to Mi9?
I thought the closed loop motor without OIS is better than open loop motor with OIS

According to DxOMark," .....the Mi 9 is the best Xiaomi device we have tested so far".

Its a subject matter, but my opinion is the MI8 camera WITH OIS and google Cam is better than Mi9 camera without OIS.
I have a Mi8 (now my girlfriends phone) and had a Mi9 and have done a big comparison between both phones. My conclusion was to sell the Mi9 because the Mi8 does greater Images than the Mi9.
I think we both know how much value we should give to DxOMark ...
Its just a subject feeling for me and my opinion because of my personal comparison.
I've to say i got the Mi9 in the early days and i think xiaomi did a big improvement in topic software on this phone and also a camera improvement but just for me:
When comparing my Huawei P30 Pro images with my girlfriends Mi8 Images, i'm again and again blown away by the colors (gcam) and HDR+ on this phone.
My biggest disadvantage is the lack of a ultra wide angle lens in the Mi8, if it had this, i would sell my p30 pro and buy a Mi8 again
Gcam Apk

Can you specify which version/modder of Gcam you use on Mi8?
Thank you.

Thanks so much for your comments.
I too have been using Mi8 for over a year, and am wondering if should upgrade to Mi9 or 9T Pro.
Now you pointed out there isn't much improvement, I think I'll hold on to it until the next model comes up.
Cheers.

Yes, as i said, i had both phones and just for me the camera of the Mi8 was better. Even the fingerprintscanner on the Mi8 is insane instead of the Mi9's indisplay fingerprint reader.
By the way, my Mi9 unit had a big battery drain issue, this was the main reason beside the camera for sending them back. In fly mode everything was fine, but when enabling data the battery drains extremely fast i couldn't fix this issue.
As a Huawei P30 Pro owner i can say: if you've a Mi8 with google cam and do not need necessarily an ultra wide angle lens, play around with some gcam ports, find the right one and settings for you and you're lucky.
The phone does exiting images even compared with all Flagship smartphones on the market right NOW.
what about Mi9 Pro 5G version ?

I also want to know this! Because well, it's expected for the facial unlock to work worse than in the Mi8 because the Mi8 has a 3d face sensor and infrared light and all those dedicated hardware.. that's why the notch is so wide.

Hi all,
I wonder weather the model is worth to buy? Looking at 11 Pro and 11 Ultra specs this one is significantly overpriced. Am I right?
Regards
absolutely worth it, but if u r into selfie cameras, wait for mix 5, low light front cam performance is meh, but other than that ceramic back and overall design is just too good
Hey, in my opinion, totally worth it... i used to have the mi 11 Ultra, prior to the mi mix 4... the weight distribution was weird, because of huge back sensor. And after a short while, i got fed up with the front notch starring at my face.
But in defense, never made better selfies with the mi11Ultra.
Its a good phone, really like the look of it, cameras are OK nothing amazing, but same for me was about the no notch and fast charging.
OS is probably the worst on any phone ive used though, so many handy features missing or not working. Im still faffing with it and still deciding to swap from my oneplus 8T
