        Will just miss this phone, as I am going to swap in a few days, for other reasons.
        It still runs as hell, fast, reliable, durable.
        Good bye companion, it has been a great 8 years trip.
        I will keep it at home as a memory, many iphones had bitten dust...

            writing this message using my mate 9 now. used it for years, then give it to my dad as he want larger phone. bought him a new phone then I take back this mate 9 as my back up. still strong although it's already 8 years old. Gold color, metal built, sleek and elegant design. mine is Chinese vversion. 128gb/ 6GB ram. in year 2017, many phones still having 64GB /4GB. USB Type-C port in year 2016, 4000mAh battery can last for 2 days usage.

            huawei is so advanced. after that I have tried and used all models for mate 20 series and Put series, and was stop there. because huawei?no more supported by google.
            how I wish I will back to huawei family.

              I had another newer phone lying around, so I finally decided to stop using my Mate 9 as my main phone. After 7 years of pure bliss. So, not because there was anything wrong with the Mate 9 (I never replaced anything, not even the battery, and it was still going strong). More because the Mate 20 Pro of my daughter was rotting in a drawer since 6 months.
              It's been a great ride with the Mate 9. If I compare both, the screen of the Mate 9 was flat and wider. And the fingerprint reader on the Mate 9 was more reliable.
              But the Mate 20 has 2 streams for wifi, vs 1 stream for Mate 9. This is a big difference in practice in parts of the house where wifi signal is flaky.
              And the Mate 20 Pro gets a GPS fix faster. (Mate 9 was marketed as working with Galileo, but it never really did.)
              IP protection is cool.
              And the extra-wide lens and super-macro are cool feature.
              Both devices are nice.

                It is still my main phone today. Battery often lasts 2 days. Just great. And wider than many newer phones that are very tall but somewhat narrow.

                      Have had this thing now for over 6 years, not in active use anymore of course but it's still working fine and still love the pictures it takes, even preferred using this is a cameraphone over the 2020 Xiaomi Mi 10, although I do feel my Xiaomi 13 does a better job I commend this phone for its amazing and lasting quality
