i'm doing a trial run of the Mate 9 and comparing to my S7E (Exynos). S7E was to be a backup for my Note 7; however, the S7E has been a daily driver for 8 months now. i'm not a fan of "the S7E curved screen" but i've dealt with it because the S7E was the better option for my needs. (for me) the Mate 9 is a very capable substitute for my Note 7 (withdrawal symptoms, lol) until the Note X is available later this year. the one huge fail (for me) is Google Voice (GV) integration... i can't make calls with my GV number and the option to "choose which number to make a call" is woefully inconsistent and works 2 out of 10 times. if i can't resolve this issue, i'll have to go back to my S7E.
