Huawei has been making well-crafted devices for a number of years now, and the Mate 9 is no exception. Having said that, it’s not the most exciting design out there, especially because it looks so similar to the Mate 8 (which was only released nine months ago). The frame now has rounded sides, similar to the iPhone 6 and 7, and the back finish is glossy instead of matte. The phone’s left edge houses a dual-SIM tray, and one of the most other dual-camera phones like the LG V20 and iPhone 7 Plus. Instead, the Mate 9’s dual cameras are split into monochrome and color sensors, with the 12-megapixel sensor capturing RGB data and the 20-megapixel sensor capturing monochrome information. The idea is you can combine them together to deliver richer colors and finer details.
