Huawei has silently updated its flagship Mate 9 lineup, adding two new, attractive and trendy colours. Turns out the Huawei Mate 9 is getting two new colours which were very popular in the P8 and P9 series, namely, Red Agate and Topaz Blue. Huawei first introduced the two colours on the P9 and P9 Plus which already had a long array of colour options then and records show the two colour options were instant hits. Coincidentally, the P9 and Mate 9, both feature dual Leica cameras.

The two new Huawei Mate 9 Red Agate and Topaz Blue variants are only available on the 4GB + 64GB model and they both are listed to officially go up for sale on Huawei’s official flagship store on Jingdong (JD.com) for 3899 Yuan on May 14 at 10 AM.  With this last additional two colours, the Mate 9 is now available in 8 different colours namely, Gold, Silver, Mocha brown, White, Gray, Black, and now Red Agate and Topaz Blue.

Other specifications are the same with the variants already available and as a reminder, the Mate 9 packs a 5.9-inch 1080p and is powered by a Kirin 960 chip. The Mate 9 features a dual camera setup designed by Leica at the rear which is a 12MP + 20MP combo. There is also a large 4,000mAh battery on board the device.

Once again, real live renders of the Huawei Mate 9 have leaked and this time around, the renders are of the device in action. This is coming on the heels of the imminent release of the device scheduled for November 3, just two days away.

The leaked renders were spotted on Finnish website SuomiMobiili and they reveal the device just fresh out of the box. One notable thing that could be observed from the working Mate 9 is the black bother at the edge of the display but it is not very wide. The render shows the Mate 9 bearing striking resemblance with the Mate 8 with just some slight difference.

The leak is that of a flat screen Mate 9, perhaps one of the two versions touted to feature on the Mate 9. The Mate 9 is also touted as featuring a dual-edge curved display version code-named Long Island.

At the rear, the dual Leica cameras could be seen seated at the upper edge of the device, aligned centrally. The dual Leica rear cameras would likely be one of the major marketing tool of the Mate 9 and Huawei has ensured that the Leica footprint is inscribed in between the two rear sensors.

The Mate 9’s LED flash and laser focus module could be seen located at both sides of the cameras. Also, lying under the camera set up is the the rear mounted fingerprint sensor. It’s worthy to note though, that the curved display version is rumored to have a front fingerprint sensor in addition to the rear mounted one.

As a reminder, the Huawei Mate 9 would come powered by a Hisilicon Kirin 960 chipset and would sport a 5.9-inch 1080 pixels display while the curved screen version is saod to have a 2K resolution on its display.

As the November 3 launch of the Huawei Mate 9 draws nearer, the device as should be expected would remain on the front burner of discussions till it is finally launched. The latest we have got on the Mate 9 is a picture that emanated from Weibo and is said to be a pre-launch page by China Mobile. The picture, which seems to have been grabbed from a smartphone, contains what is likely the main specs and actual render of the Mate 9.

Basically, the pictorial specs listing comes in to confirm some of the specifications we had already known would feature on the device but also bring along some new details. One of the latest detail is the specification of the Huawei Mate 9’s dual main cameras. According to the pictorial listing, the dual cameras would be a combo of a 12MP sensor and a 20MP sensor. Another is that the device would feature a front fingerprint sensor in addition to the one at the rear.

Other details listed include that the Huawei Mate 9 would sport a 5.9-inch 2k double curved display, and would be fired up by a Kirin 960 processor with a 6GB RAM assisting the SoC inside. That is an indication that the top-most version is being touted and it would have a large storage of 256GB on board. The device is also listed to run on Android 7.0 Nougat OS. Additionally, the Mate 9 is touted as seeing an upgrade on the fast charge aspect, as it is listed to support 5V / 8A charging output. Perhaps this would form part of the long battery life Huawei teased recently to feature on the Mate 9.

Tons of leaks in past months have talked about the Huawei Mate 9 coming soon but info from the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology confirms the existence of the device.

The Mate 9 is code-named Manhattan and the name of the two devices found are MHA-TL00 and MHA-AL00. We believe the MHA prefix stands for Manhattan and that there will indeed be two variants of the device.

There is no much info revealed about both devices except that they have full network support and dual sim slots. But previous leaks have said the Huawei Mate 9 will feature a 5.9” display, Huawei’s own Kirin 960 processor, a 12MP and 20MP dual cameras combination reportedly from Leica with a f/2.0 aperture.

Apart from the LeEco Le 3 Pro, the Xiaomi Mi 5s (and Plus) and the Pixel Phones, one other phone that is greatly anticipated is Huawei’s Mate 9. Following the company’s success with the Huawei P9 and Honor 8, more people are expecting the new phone to raise the already high bar a bit more.

Recent leaks about the device reveals a lot of new details. First is the date. Sources say the Huawei Mate 9 may launch on the 8th of November and will have four versions.

A standard version or base model that will have 4GB of RAM and 64GB of ROM; a high version that doubles the storage to 128GB but keeps the RAM at 4GB; and a top and monarch version with 6GB RAM and 256GB of built-in storage.

The versions have also been reported to sport different colour options. The standard version will be available in silver, grey, and gold; the high version will be available in rose gold and ceramic white. The top version will have all the colours listed above in addition to black enamel.

Another feature the Mate 9 may sport is an iris-scanner just like the Galaxy Note 7. Users will be able to choose between this or the fingerprint scanner that will come with it by default.

I know some of you only care about the pricing, that’s why I have saved it for last. The Standard Version will cost 3199 Yuan ($480) and a full network version will sell for 3399 Yuan ($509); the High Version will sell for 3899 Yuan ($584); a full network Top Version will sell for 4699 Yuan ($704); and the Monarch Version which seems is the top version bundled with a 2nd gen Huawei smartwatch will sell for 7388 Yuan ($1108).

Adding all of the new details to those we already know such as a 6” display, dual 20 megapixel rear cameras supplied by Leica and which has optical image stabilisation, Android 7.0 Nougat, and a kirin 960 processor, it’s sure Huawei wants to end the year on a high note.

Do remember these are leaks. The company hasn’t confirmed a bunch of these details, so things might be different when it eventually launches.
