Huawei Mate 9 images show a flat screen and two cameras

The Huawei Mate 9 launch event is coming up (it’s this Thursday and more details are becoming available through unofficial means.

An official-looking press image shows the expansive 5.9” screen, but it’s flat (there’s talk of a premium curved-screen model). The flat screen should have 1080p resolution (and the premium model is said to go up to QHD).


Some additional renders show a dual-camera on the back - one of those will shoot 20MP stills, the other 12MP. The Leica brand is not visible in those renders, but the rumor mill thinks the well-known camera maker will be back and even suggests we may see optical zoom.

The Huawei Mate 9 is expected to launch with Android 7.0 Nougat, running on HiSilicon’s new Kirin 960 chipset. Teasers suggest the battery will be quite something too.
