Mate 9 is too underrated!

[FutureMech]

We said that before but I'm gonna point that again.
Having this amazing phone for 6 months, it's thr only one that constantly works fast, even faster with time, have gr8 camera great battery life despite having 5.9 LCD screen, great speakers and always reliable, by contrast i can't say that about the sammy LG phones i had, no any others.

Huawei need to step up their game with marketing, the Note 8 is underwhelming, Mate 10 looks to be a winner!

What you think?

 

[Mike-Mike]

if the Mate 10 is 2:1, then i have no interest.

If it is a Mate 9 with Wireless Charging and an Amoled, I'm buying it day one

Depends on price. Previous note 7 owners can get a note 8 for around$500 with old phone trade in... The mate would have to be significantly better if it were the same price.

Nothing spectacular new with the Note 8. Hopefully Huawei can change the game with the Mate 10

Honestly....i don't see what the mate 10 can add over the note 8. Guess we'll have to wait and see

Considering that Note 8 brought nothing new to the table, Huawei has a big chance to deliver.

What would Huawei do then to make it successful, especially at the $1k mark

No phone is worth $1000. But phone are always evolving. New features, longer lasting battery etc. We'll see how the new Mate 10 is when it's out

Mate 10 can have better camera, finally IP68 rating, great real big screen hopefully not too tall and thin, better battery with 10nm CPU should provide a big winner vs awful battery of the Note 8, heck Mate 9 battery last much longer than S8+.

Performance will be better probably and hopefully speakers will get improved and the DAC as well, the LG V30 is a bit temping with it's Quad DAC, but it will have awful battery(3200mhA).

Mate 10 will probably be expensive in the first weeks, hopefully not that much, otherwise it gonna get ignored.

I think battery life is really the only place where the mate 10 can beat the note 8 on specs

 

[FutureMech]

If the mate 10 gonna match note 8 in specs but beat it in audio and battery, that could be enough

Mate 10 could improve screen (AMOLED), IP68, processor, RAM, possibly a stylus like the S pen (Translation on the fly sounds great). Otherwise it's still a seriously underrated phone. My friend got excited about the Note 8's abilities to alter the blur after a picture has been taken until I showed him the Note 9 already does this.

^It's difficult for another phone maker to make any type of SPen competition when the SPen is Wacom technology who Samsung had bought shares in.

It'll also have a much faster processor than the Note 8. Camera can match or beat it as well

Even if the processor was 100x faster than the note 8,i am not sure that that really matters to most people outside of spec whores or those who use very intensive apps... Which are really in the small minority.

Yeah Samsung locked that one up. No one has been able to provide a stylus anywhere nearly as functional as Samsung has on the note lineup, even though it has been many years since the note was introduced.

Uhhh... The note 9? You mean presumably next year's note?

That would make a lot more sense.
