If you hold the Huawei Mate 9 just right, it can almost look like a Galaxy Note7 (http://www.greenbot.com/article/3107986/android/samsung-galaxy-note-7-review-a-pricey-phablet-made-for-power-users.html).
Granted, you probably don’t want it to look like a Note7 after all it went through,-there’s no denying the character and craftsmanship that Samsung’s phablet exuded. And while there are distinct differences between the two handsets, the sturdy, svelte build of the Mate 9 instantly conjures images of the Note7 in happier times.
But that’s not to write it off as a copycat. Even with a somewhat derivative design, the Mate 9, which recently became available for purchase in the U.S., packs quite a punch. With a proprietary chipset, Leica-branded camera, and decidedly unique spin on Nougat, the phone absolutely plays by its own rules, and proves that Huawei can hold its own against other premium phone makers.
