We have seen quite a few details for the Huawei Mate 9 leak in the past weeks, most recently a week ago when we saw Evan Blass leak the phone renders and price. Today, just a couple of days out from what is expected to be the official announcement of it the Mate 9 and leaked again. This time we see what look like review-type images leaked by Finland Mobile.
The images do not give any more information on top of what we already know/suspect. The images display the dual cameras along with a fingerprint scanner on the back, a headphone jack at the top of the device and on the bottom two grills that may have stereo speakers in them (or there may just be a single speaker ala Google Pixels) and a USB -Type-C connector.
From previous leaks we know that the Mate 9 will arrive in various colours and storage options of 256GB paired with 6GB of RAM, 128GB paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB paired with 4GB of RAM. With the standard version sporting a 5.9″ 1080P display, Kirin Octa-Core processor, microSD slot (because 256GB is not enough?) and USB-C. With prices set to be around $600-900 for the standard version it will be interesting to see what the Pro version retails for, assuming we see it here in Australia. The Pro version is aimed to be Daydream VR compatible. The Mate 9 is expected to arrive with Android 7.0 with EMUI 5.0 overlay.
As said earlier, Huawei is hosting an event in Germany on 3 November where they are expected to announce the Mate 9. My hand is still up to review this device when it arrives on our shores. Anyone else interested?
