Huawei unveiled its latest flagship smartphone yesterday. It is the Huawei Mate 9. In fact, two phones were unveiled at the global event – the HUAWEI Mate 9 and the exclusive PORSCHE DESIGN HUAWEI Mate 9.
“In developing the HUAWEI Mate 9, we started with a simple question – how can we improve every element of the smartphone experience?” said Richard Yu, CEO, Huawei Consumer Business Group. “We know that for today’s business users, a fast and functional smartphone is just the beginning. Consumers also want a gorgeous design and intuitive features, so we created two new devices at the forefront of hardware and software innovation. The result is the new Mate Series, breathtakingly new, inside and out.”
Key features of the mate 9 include the following:
- Mate 9 – 5.9” FHD display; Porsche – 5.5” curved AMOLED display
- Kirin 960 chipset, the world’s highest performing smartphone processor*
- EMUI 5.0, an intuitive user interface that streamlines the users’ experience with the OS
- SuperCharge technology that delivers a full day’s charge in 20 minutes
- Second generation Leica dual-lens camera with 12-megapixel RGB sensor, 20-megapixel monochrome sensor and Hybrid Zoom, featuring a superior 2x magnification
The features are as expected from the leaks published some days ago.
