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!
