Huawei recently chose the Bavarian city of Munich to unveil its successor to the Mate 8’s. As rumors led us to believe, two new devices were introduced: the Mate 9 and the Porsche Design Mate 9. If the first results are anything to go by, in my opinion the Mate 9 is a sequel with very little originality. This isn’t the case with the Porsche Design Mate 9 - it’s the smartphone that the Mate 9 should have been. Here's why.
As well as offering a curved display on both sides (again, like the Note7), Huawei has also moved away from its habit of inserting fingerprint readers on the front of the smartphone via a Home button. Instead the sensor is now similar to that of the MediaPad M3 tablet and identical to that which you can find on an HTC or an iPhone 7. However, you have to press it more than you would think.
The Porsche Design Mate 9 offers a smaller screen of 5.5 inches with a QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) definition. A surprising move for Huawei was their decision to opt for a Full-HD on the standard version even though its screen was larger (5.9 inches). The compact design is also makes it much easier to handle in comparison to the massive Mate 9.
