Product Manuals

Quick Start Guide

Q: I am intrested in this phone. What service towers are used for these phone?

A: Lookibg at the specs will tell you everything. It is a GSM phone. It will work with T-Mobile, att or Thier sub brands cricket and metro pcs. Does not work on CDMA networks such as sprint or Verizon.

Q: Do the Mate 9's Contact and Calendar sync up with my Google Account's Contact and Calendar?

A: Yes they sync with each other. I add things into the Huawei calendar all the time because I like the layout of Huawei's calendar. And when I go online on my PC , everything I entered shows up in my Google Calendar.

Q: Hello, I'm gonna be traveling in two days to Miami and I'll be in dolphin mall for buying so I need to know if The best bit dolphin store has Hawei Mate 8 or 9 unlocked. I wait for answering. Thanks

A: yea, call the store - why you asking here at best buy?? lol

Q: Trying to decide if this should be my next phone, but the following photo is a common occurrence at my local Best Buys (Pentagon City and Bailey's Crossroads) How is a person expected to make a decision about a new phone if they are unable to try it ????

A: Honestly, the specification speaks justice and truth about the Huawei Mate 9. I did extensive research about this and it definitely has met its promises. I have been Samsung user for 5 years and when i made the switch i was not disappointed. It’s a phenomenal device with great battery life ( 4000mAh), 4 GB of RAM, 64Gigs of internal storage with an option of expandable memory( micro SD card compatible) , 7.0 Nougat, and front camera 8 megapixel, 12- megapixel in the back along with 20 monochrome megapixel. Compare the specifications with other phones and you will see that the Mate 9 is best overall. Highly recommended.

Q: I am very interested in Huawei phone. What model of Huawei should be purchased, which works with "Verizon" in US and "Chinamobile" in China? Thanks!

A: Unfortunately, the US model Huawei Mate 9 is not compatible with Verizon's network. We recommend using a GSM carrier like AT&T or T-Mobile in the US. To check compatibility with international carriers, please review the band info and consult with Chinamobile for more info: MHA-L29 SIM1: 4G TDD LTE: Band38/39/40/41(100MHz) 4G FDD LTE: Band1/2/3/4/5/7/8/9/12/17/18/19/20/26/28/29; 3G UMTS(WCDMA)/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA: Band 1/2/4/5/6/8/19 3G TD-SCDMA: Band34/39 CDMA EV-DO Rev. A: BC0(800MHz), only for China Telecom 2G GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz SIM2: 3G UMTS(WCDMA): Band 1/2/4/5/6/8/19 CDMA: BC0(800MHz),only for China Telecom 2G GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz MHA-L09: 4G TDD LTE: Band38/39/40 4G FDD LTE: Band1/2/3/4/5/7/8/9/12/17/18/19/20/26/28/29; 3G UMTS(WCDMA)/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA: Band 1/2/4/5/6/8/19 3G TD-SCDMA: Band34/39 2G GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz (NS)

Q: This have a built in fm radio for local radio stations? And if the battery is swappable?

A: It does not have a built in FM radio in it unfortunately, but you can listen to your local stations through their app, or through the browser. The battery is not swappable, but it's bigger than the batteries in most flagship phones. I can get through a full day of moderate use without any problems and the included charger is very quick.

Q: Does the Mate 9 have live icons that will indicate if there are new emails, texts, voice messages, etc. waiting and the number of them that are waiting to be read?

A: Yes, on the upper notification bar at the top of the screen it will indicate how many voicemails there are. As far as emails, it shows that you have them but not how many at the top. Its like most Android phones in this respect.

Q: Im upgrading from a Samsung Galaxy S5 to the Huawei Mate9. My Samsung uses a Micro SIM, where as the Mate 9 uses the Nano SIM. How do I go about activating my phone since the Micro SIM doesnt fit in the Huawei? Do I have to go to an ATT store?

A: Yep, just head to your carrier and get a new SIM. Some stores / carriers may charge you for the NanoSIM or activation but there are many that will waive the fee. There might be SIM card cutters that look like handheld hole punchers that will cut you current SIM to the right size but if they mess up, you'll need to get a new one.

Customers are saying

Customers are enthusiastic about the Mate 9's long battery life, with some reporting up to two weeks of usage on a single charge. The camera is another highlight, with users praising its excellent quality. The phone's performance and price are also well-received, with many customers finding it to be a great value for the money. While some users find the phone to be a bit large and heavy, these concerns are outweighed by the positive feedback in other areas.

Best phone out right now!
Pros: Screen, battery, cameras, speakers, size of phone, performance, price is low for flagship device like this, ease of use, and I could go on and on. Cons: headphone jack is at the top, I like the bottom. Bottom line: buy this phone, and you will not regret it. It my have a big screen, but it's small in size compared to other phones with the same size screen.

Coming from a Note8... I can live with the Mate 9
Long story short: my week old Note8 128GB pass away (charging issues) so in the meantime to get it repaired I bought the Mate 9 with special discount, and let me tell you, at $399 I can't find a better option. Size and design feels very nice in hand, camera is excellent, speed is OK (can't compare with Note8 but it's half the price!). Huawei software is clean and polished. Battery life is so so but I hope it only improves over the coming days. Overall a very nice experience with my first Huawei.

Move over Apple & Samsung! Huawei is #1 in my book
When I saw that Huawei released the Mate 9, I had to immediately run to Best Buy and get my hands on this amazing phone. Let me say that I was previously an iPhone owner for many, many years since their 1st iPhone came out. After having the Apple 7 Plus for a month, I was bored and fed up with their rehashing of old technology and removal of things I NEED like a headphone jack. I sold my iPhone and bought a Samsung S7 Edge. Needless to say, that phone lasted a whole 60 days before I bought the Huawei Mate 9. I need to also mention that when I bought my S7, I also bought the Samsung Gear watch. That went back to the store less than 12 hours later where I exchanged it for the Huawei Watch. That, by far, has been the best decision I ever made. The Huawei Watch is a stunning piece that makes full use of the large round screen, is extremely responsive, stunningly gorgeous, and gets compliments all of the time. People can't believe that they can get such an amazing smart (and I do mean smart) watch at such an affordable price. So, needless to say, having such a stellar experience with their watch, I decided that I would give their Mate 9 a go. AMAZING! This phone is so well designed and thought out. The design and engineering on this phone is by far the best I have seen in any smart phone. I especially love the fingerprint reader on the back because it's what makes the most sense. When you grab a phone, your index finger is precisely where the reader is and the responsiveness of the reader is instant. Oh my, the camera! Holy (something I can't say here)! The capabilities of the camera are out of this world. Let's face it, they have partnered with an industry leader in optics, lenses, and photography. I'm familiar with the Leica brand due to the scanners they design that forensic investigators use to preserve crime scenes, so I knew that the camera had to be rather spectacular, and indeed it is. They have incorporated a second-generation Leica Dual Camera with a 12MP RGB sensor and 20MP monochrome sensor. This allows the cameras to work together to capture the absolute fine details of an image. You can make on screen adjustments prior to taking a picture by focusing on an object and then another circle on the screen allows you to focus the light elsewhere. Once your picture is taken, the editing capabilities are out of this world. Also, this has the capability to shoot in 4K. I'm a total gadget geek, own an IT/Network Engineering company, and I write my own tech blog - I have tinkered with many, many devices to the point where I drive my husband insane with my "must have" of the latest technology out there. I can definitively say, that this is by far the most impressive smart phone I have had the pleasure of laying my hands on. Understand, I am in no way affiliated with Huawei or have been given anything at all by them. I just feel strongly about giving credit where credit is due, and Huawei deserves it. Also, for someone like me, a business owner who is always out and about on projects, it's absolutely pointless to have a business line in my home office. Well.....wouldn't you know that you can have 2 sim cards in this? I admit, I didn't know that was "a thing", so when I saw this was a feature on this phone I was beyond excited because now I can completely separate my personal line from business line. I am to understand its not common practice in the U.S, but it is in Europe and Asia. Now, if you're one of those who feels turned off by the 1080p display.....DON'T! The colors a vibrant, the images are sharp, and with the 5'9" FHD display you will not even notice the difference. For audiophiles, like my husband and I, this phone fully supports flac (file and decoding). This is a very big plus. The Mate 9 also has a 4000mAh battery and under normal use can last up to 2 days. Granted, not the biggest in the market but the reason those others can do that is because they lack features that the better named brands have, including Huawei. Even when you look at these other brands such as Samsung, LG, Sony, Microsoft, etc. they come in at 3,000 mAh. The iPhone 7 Plus is rumored to have only 900mAh but good luck finding that on their page. The stats come from a MacRumors teardown of the phone. So, with this said, the Huawei Mate 9 definitely gives its competitors a run for its money. Now, let's talk money......$600 UNLOCKED! That is what I call bang for your buck. The Mate 9 does have other versions such as the Mate 9 Pro That can run you a little over $850, but it reminds me too much of the S7 edge and that's not my preference (also has a 5.5" AMOLED screen). There's also the Porsche Design Huawei Mate 9 Luxury Edition at $2,800 with 6GB Ram and 256GB ROM and 5.5" Curved AMOLED Display, but that's way out of my price range and still reminds me of the S7 Edge. Now, Huawei has done something with the Mate 9 that completely impressed me with the Huawei Watch, and that is their packaging. Now, I know...it's only packaging. However, it is very elegantly packaged giving you that high quality feel that the phone does actually have. Also, it appears to already have a screen protector in place, which is very nice, as I can never get those things on properly myself. Huawei has also included a Matte Case, which is nice because it protects the back of your phone without making it bulky. Overall, I think that the Huawei Mate 9 is by far one of the best quality phones I have owned. Paired with the Huawei Watch, it is absolutely perfect and exactly what I have been looking for in my quest for a smart phone and smartwatch that meets all of my needs and expectations. DISCLAIMER: The watch band pictured is NOT what comes with the watch. The Huawei Watch comes with a Black Suture Leather Strap. This is one I purchased from another retailer. I wanted something that resembled the Double Tour Hermès strap. I wish I could add more pictures but that'll have to be left for my blog.
