<b>Revolutionary speed</b>
Now you won’t slow down, thanks to the new Kirin 960 processor and intelligent Machine Learning algorithm. This ground-breaking interplay between hardware and software means your Huawei Mate 9 is born fast and stays fast.
<b>Born fast</b>
A device to keep you ahead. Equipped with the Kirin 960 processor, the Huawei Mate 9 is the Android phone with blistering performance to run apps, videos and HD games seamlessly.
<b>Stay fast</b>
Say goodbye to lagging performance. Huawei’s cutting-edge Machine Learning algorithm delivers consistent performance by automatically prioritising CPU, RAM and ROM resources based on user habits.
<b>Smart anticipation</b>
The Huawei Mate 9 automatically learns user habits to build app priority. The system anticipates the user’s next moves to prepare resources in advance.
This process is run on the phone, not the cloud for better performance and privacy protection.
<b>Smart resource allocation </b>
The Huawei Mate 9 automatically manages resources by prioritizing CPU, RAM and ROM for optimal performance and closes memory intensive background apps. Within the CPU, fine-grained scheduling maximizes computing efficiency. For RAM, it automatically recycles memory resources, creating more memory for priority apps and enabling stutter-free performance. And for ROM, it opens an exclusive channel of Storage I/O making the apps you use the most work even faster.
<b>Android core components optimization</b>
The new F2FS file system improves the I/O storage performance. This speeds up the database engine allowing pictures to load more smoothly. The optimized performance of the rendering engine gives better control and a faster reaction to your touch.
<b>Enhanced power</b>
The Huawei Mate 9 offers a truly revolutionary battery life. With its large 4000mAh battery and smart power-saving technology, you can enjoy two days’ usage*. State-of-the-art HUAWEI SuperCharge technology safely charges the device for a full day’s power* in 20 minutes.
<b>Get a day’s use from 20 minutes charge</b>
Smarter, cooler and safer. With 4.5V low-voltage input plus 5A charging current, HUAWEI SuperCharge is among the world’s fastest rapid charging systems – an impressive 50% faster than the Mate 8. Each of the 5-layer controls for voltage, current and temperature provides an ultra-safe charge that keeps the Huawei Mate 9 fast.
The Huawei Mate 9's whopping 4000mAh battery takes smartphone battery standards to a whole new level. The battery is a perfect complement to Huawei's smart power-saving technology, a toolkit of technologies that automatically saves power, letting you do more, for longer.
<b>Breath-taking photography</b>
The Huawei Mate 9 offers exceptional sharpness. Its second-generation Leica Dual Camera renders images in unprecedented detail for images that take you from mere photography to artistry.
<b>2nd generation Leica Dual Camera</b>
The Huawei Mate 9 sports a second-generation Leica Dual Camera with a 12MP RGB sensor and 20MP monochrome sensor. The RGB sensor captures vivid colours, while the monochrome sensor picks out the finer details.

<b>Hybrid Zoom</b>
Equipped with a great hybrid zoom effect, the Huawei Mate 9 allows you to take Leica-quality images, even at greater focal lengths.
<b>Sensational NightShooting</b>
Dual camera pixel-binning technology on both lenses doubles image brightness in low-light conditions. Optical image stabilisation counteracts handshake to produce crystal-clear shots.
<b>Beautiful Bokeh with refocusing capability</b>
Take shots of people or objects and blur the background with artistic bokeh. A shallower depth of field enables you to make subjects stand out. And you can also refocus photos, giving you the freedom to shoot first and focus later.
<b>8 MP selfie camera with autofocus</b>
The Huawei Mate 9 sports an 8 MP selfie camera with autofocus and a range of features to help you take speedy selfies.
Set the camera to take a photo when you smile, or place your finger on the fingerprint sensor to activate the shutter. A new facial enhancement algorithm automatically detects your face and applies custom beauty settings.
