Huawei Mate 9 camera

Huawei Mate 9 has been officially released at a spectacular event held in Munich, Germany. This model had been leaked countless times before anything is officially announced. However, there are still some surprises in this big screen phablet from Huawei. Mate 9 owns a metal shell covering 5.9 inch IPS Full HD screen.

The Huawei Mate 9 is equipped a 20MP Blach and White sensor and a 12MP color sensor. Nevertheless, you can still take 20MP color pictures. The secret behind this technology is explained by Leica. Each photo is the combination of many photos taken at the same time by both cameras. By doing so, the cameras will produce “super resolution” 40MP photo, then it will be downsize to a 20MP image. That’s the reason why Huawei Mate 9 camera can bring detailed and high solution photos.

Another concern of smartphone photo taker is Bokeh. Huawei Mate 9 camera will definitely satisfy with its big bokeh and you can even video record those shiny bokeh. Leica stated that whenever we have the bokeh effects. it would be the combination of both cameras. More interestingly, users can choose the photo focus point after the photo is taken, and they can also change the aperture down to f/0.95 as well. These dual cameras are supported by optical anti-shake system,focus technology including a laser 4, AF phase, depth and contrast. It also uses two-tone flash.

Currently, there’s no information about Huawei Mate 9 battery. But if it packs such a fast processor like that, there must be a 4000mAh battery or above! Regarding the Huawei Mate 9 release date, the only thing we are sure about is that this phone will be launched in Indian market. Its predecessor – Mate 8, was launched in November last year, so it makes sense if the brand decides to release Mate 9 next month.

Huawei Mate 9 vs Oppo R9 Plus is a big battle. When we say “big”, we’re not kidding. Both of them sport big screen, a big battery, big camera, etc. But which one is bigger? Let’s take a look!

If you want a “big phone”, you can freely pick one of them. Both devices come with huge 6.0-inch screens. To be more specify, Huawei Mate 9 screen flaunts at 1440 x 2560 pixels. Meanwhile. Oppo R9 Plus screen comes at 1080 x 1920 pixels. As you see, Huawei M9 presents the same 6.0-inch display but with higher resolution.

Most importantly, in Huawei Mate 9 vs Oppo R9 Plus, which phone is stronger? They are all powered by Octa-core processor, but Oppo R9 Plus is believed to be a bit stronger with SnapDragon 652 chipset on board. On the other hand, Huawei Mate 9 is powered by HiSilicon Kirin 960. Particularly, SnapDragon chipset is often over than Kirin chipset. The other specs are same on both phones: 4GB RAM, 64/128 GB ROM.

Move to battery battle, both are delivered at whopping capacity. Oppo R9 Plus get a big 4120 mAH battery. Meanwhile, Huawei Mate 9 battery is even bigger with 5000mAH. The Huawei phone is also a clear winner in camera battle: (Huawei Mate9-20MP  vs Oppo R9 Plus-16MP). Moreover, Huawei Mate 9 runs Android 6.0 while Oppo R9 Plus runs the older Android 5.0. But Huawei Mate 9 has only single SIM, seem less great than dual-SIM on Oppo R9 Plus.

Huawei Mate 9 vs Oppo R9 Plus: let’s pick!

Before making a decision, it’s very importance to consider the price! Huawei Mate 9 price is $505 while Oppo R9 Plus price ranges at $669. With a $164 lower price, Huawei Mate 9 sports the bigger battery, the same screen with higher resolution, a bigger main camera, a newer OS, the same 4GB RAM. The only degraded specs compared to its counterpart is single SIM, but the almost user can live without it. So, the winner in Huawei Mate 9 vs Oppo R9 Plus is a Huawei phone.

The Huawei Mate 9 specs is thought to have been leaked via the GFX Bench database, when the Huawei press event for the IFA expo is coming soon in September. Let’s take a look at the supposed leaked specs.

Huawei Mate 9 specs: 4GB RAM, Octa-core processor, 12MP main camera

According to GFX, Huawei Mate 9 specs will include an octa-core processor, with the SoC being HiSilicon Hi3660, more powerful than the one in Huawei P9. However, the GPU remains the same as P9, ARM Mali-T880, although we hope that the core count may be increased. Huawei Mate 9 will also house 4GB RAM. It will also run on Android 7 Nougat, the latest Android OS version. These specs look quite good and hopefully the phone will perform well.

Also according to the Huawei Mate 9 specs leak, the phone will have quite a big screen: a 5.9-inch display; however, it will only be 1080p resolution. GFX has not always been correct, but if that is true, it is quite a letdown. The internal storage will be quite spacious, 64GB, and it’s to been seen if we can extend that. Camera will be 8MP for the front, and 12MP for the main camera, contrary to the rumored 20MP main camera. We hope that GFX is wrong on this one; 20MP main camera would make this phone awesome.

Huawei Mate 9 specs: what should be the price?

We still have to wait for official announcements to know the full specs and rice, however, if those Huawei Mate 9 specs leaked are true, then we believe the price will be similar to its predecessor, Huawei Mate 8. The price for Huawei Mate 8 is RM 1,599 – RM 1,699. We believe that Huawei Mate 9 will have similar price, given the leaked specs. What do you think should be the price for this phone?

Meanwhile, Gionee M6 camera resolution is clocked at 13MP and 8MP.

Huawei Mate 9 has been said to be in the works and expected to be the first 6GB RAM smartphone of the company. Besides, it’ll also boast a Kirin 960 chip, LTE Cat.12 support and a 20MP dual rear camera. So, if you wonder what handsets can be its rivals, check out the following list immediately!

1. Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro

First of all, we need to mention Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro, which is also equipped with 6GB RAM. However, other Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro specs are quite different, but still worth being considered as a strong competitor of the Huawei Mate 9. Speaking specifically, there are a 5.2-inch Full HD AMOLED display, 4G LTE + VoLTE support, a Snapdragon 820 chip set, a 3,100mAh battery supported by Quick Charge 3.0 technology, Android Marshmallow OS, and 128GB of internal storage on board to help run the whole machine.

After the duo flagship Huawei P9 and P9 Plus, it seems like the company is working on another beast called Huawei Mate 9 to release in the near future…

Huawei Mate 9 to come with 20MP camera and Kirin 960 chip

Obviously, Huawei Mate 9 will be the direct successor to Huawei Mate 8 launched in November 2015. At the moment, there has been no word as well as leaks for Huawei Mate 9 design. However, we hope that the firm will be able to surprise us by making the Mate 9 even more premium and elegant than its predecessor, which is equipped with aluminum alloy for the back without any visible antenna gap, and brushed metal for the sides.

Spec-wise, according to the latest report, the handset will be powered by a new octa-core chip of Huawei called Kirin 960. In addition to Huawei Mate 9 specs, there will be LTE Cat.12 support and an up to 20MP dual rear camera. No doubt this is inspired by the Huawei P9, which introduced some days ago with a similar feature yet fewer megapixels.

Unfortunately, apart from the above specifications, the rest of the Mate 9’s hardware is still unknown. Though, basing on what is happening in the mobile market now, we guess it is very possible that the Huawei Mate 9 will boast a 6-inch 2K screen, 6GB RAM, 128GB ROM, an 8MP selfie snapper, a 4,000mAh battery and Android Marshmallow or maybe N OS (depending on Huawei Mate 9 release date). Well, do you think they are enough to make the device a “superphone”?

Huawei Mate 9 price and release date

If the Mate 9 takes after the 8, we will see the phone in the Q4 of 2016. As for Huawei Mate 9 price, no information related to that has got revealed. We’d better wait a bit more for the manufacturer’s official announcements in the next weeks. But, how much do you want the phablet to cost? How about $650? Share with us your opinions!
