[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Notchr302:
Honestly you're going to have to just expect some apps a little choppier than others. The one place where I really always judge it is by using Google now. The better optimized phones I find will be buttery. I had a slight hiccup here and there with my honor 8 compared to the oneplus 3t. My Mate 9 will be here tomorrow so I'm hoping all is well.

Same here, and the scrolling physics are screwy

In Talon, and less so in some other apps, the page seems to start scrolling slow, then speed up, then slow to a stop in a very unnatural way.

[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the Huawei Mate 9 stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.

Best heat management I've seen in a while, op3 has the best heat management I saw before until I use mate 9. heat , mate 9 it's even better than op3.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] -ErrorFile-:
Never had a phone which runs this cool all the time. :) At it's worst, it feels warm to touch, but never ever has gotten hot. Not even remotely. I agree, wife's OP3 does get warmer/hotter than my Mate 9.

[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Sammath:
I'd have to say this phone is pretty low in temperature when playing games.

My old nexus 6 always got pretty hot playing hearthstone. This one doesn't even break a sweat.

It only warms up a little when it's fresh on the charger here.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] s.a.wood15:
My Mate 9 has automatically shut itself down on a few occasions due to overheating when I had the camera open and was taking pictures or recording video for an extended period (~5 min or so). Anyone else notice this?
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] MobileThrowAwayAcc:
I've had this for a few months and it's honestly never felt hot to me.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] vn33:
My previous phone was the Moto X Pure Edition (2015). Any kind of activities such as watching a movie, play a simple game, and I can use it as a mini thermal fusion reactor.

I haven't had any issues with heat so far with my Mate 9.

Loving this phone and easily my most well-liked phone since my original Galaxy Note.

I use Waze (daily for 1h30) and can honestly say I have never felt my Mate 9 anything more than slightly warm.

Did you have your heating vent pointing at it perhaps? Or in direct sunlight?

Can anyone think of a replacement for the dire SMS application that is installed as standard on WM6? I have tried a few (including Group SMS) but none fit the bill.

Thanks in advance.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Beefheart:
Anyone help with this?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mugglesquop:
what features do u want?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Beefheart:
I would just like a better interface. The standard SMS interface is pretty bland and doesn't allow much customization at all. It would also be nice to be able to map a button (for example the Sat Nav button in the bottom left) to create a new SMS.

Also, another thing that annoys me is the volume of the text message alert is linked to the volume of the PDA and not the volume of the phone (these are set separately). As such I don't hear when I receive a text message because I generally have my PDA volume on quite low. I suspect another application wouldn't be able to change this though as this is due to the SMS alert being linked to the PDA's alerts at an OS level.

At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the Huawei Mate 9's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.

Black and White Winter shots

Hi, I've been taking some shots with the Monochrome sensor during the white winter in Germany. You can check them out at my blog here:

https://ddienlin.de/en/this and that/Mate-9-Camera.html

So far I'm very happy with the low light performance of the monochrome sensor.

I've also attached a little appetiser :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] mscion:
The low light capability looks quite good. Makes me glad I ordered the Mate 9 although it makes the wait for delivery harder. Please add some more color ones. Is it possible to take both 12 MP and 20 MP colour shots (I guess the 12 MP colour pictures would be post processed using the 20 MP B&W camera to make a 20 MP colour one). Btw, good eye too!
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] onemandivision:
Thanks! Haven't made any good low light shots with colour enabled recently, but there are good ones in this German android forum: http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/k...-diskussion-frage-huawei-mate-9.802242/page-2
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Mashari_F:

[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] taphius:
Man, those black and whites look good. Wish the color was as sharp/clear
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] phynicle:
Was there any significant improvement to the low light capability after the update as reported on some sites?
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] taphius:
yeah, low light on stationary objects are very good. camera lowers iso and goes to a very slow shutter. Great detail but will blur easily on anything moving

I used manual -2 step exposure for stars shot. There is a bit of sharpening added in second version of each photo. Bit of S7 Edge style, but not so much oversharpened. In parking shot I have used shutter speed 1/4 sec. so you have to have steady hand and there's basically 50% chance that your photo may be blured due to hand shake and fast object moving to side from you will get blured as well. But for static scene Mate 9 does admirable job, if you can keep your hands steady. Both quick shots I've took today were taken handheld. Color reproduction is excellent for both shots, true to life. :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] sobelixtus:
That's the case for every camera in low light situation. Either the ISO value will be high with lot of noise, or low ISO with slow shutter speed which is not good if anything is moving in scene.

I think Mate 9 has excellent picture quality both in daylight and low light. Especially dynamic range is outstanding and much better than in my other device iP7Plus.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] D1G1TE:
I Mostly agree, with little addition. Almost every MOBILE camera, except Google Pixel which uses approx 2x faster shutter speed compared to other mobile cameras because of HDR+ and thanks to this it reduces a lot of high ISO noise, kind of. It have to, because it lacks OIS. But pixel is a lot more expensive than Mate 9, even base 5.2 inch model and for me personally it looks ugly, those thick bezels, display ratio, relatively small battery, for that kind of money. Then, on avarage DSLR camera with APS-C sensor and F/1.8 50mm lens one can use about 4-6 times faster shutter speed than Mate 9. So basically where you're shooting 1/17 with Mate 9 you can shot 1/100 with mirrorless DSLR and still get bit better quality pictures out of it with more details preserved and better dynamic range. :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] sobelixtus:
Of course. I am only talking about mobile phone cameras and not even thinking about DSLRs in the same sentence :)

It is obvious that mobile phone cameras with much smaller sensors cannot compete with DSLR in low light scenario. In good day light both can produce well balanced shots with good dynamic range, but still the edge is on DSLR side :cool:
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Coolbananas:
This may be obvious, but a tripod makes a massive difference for low light on this phone.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] D1G1TE:
Yes but from real life scenario, how many times one carries tripod in his/her pocket? If you're already carrying tripod there's not big deal to carry mirrorless DSLR, Sony has nice low profile lens for example.

I personally have this tripod from Polaroid https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/789591-REG/Polaroid_PLTRI42_42_TRAVEL_TRIPOD.html which is extremely portable and can fit into jacket inner pocket. But it isn't exactly comfortable to wear it all the time with your phone during night. :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] D1G1TE:
Some fireworks, using light graffiti, light painting mode. I've found out to be best for fireworks. Handheld. :)

Camera Bug

Today I had a very annoying bug. Given that it snowed I wanted to do a series of photographs. I tried several ways: Monochrome Photo HDR and Night Photo. Bug occurred when I tried to take pictures in '' Night Photo '' and manifests this: I press the button for shooting, display show the message "processing '' and stuck so for several dozen seconds after the image made black. I closed camera app, I opened it again black picture still. I had to close camera app, delete from ram, wait few seconds and work again. I repeted 3 times same results. Please try it and tell me if your phone do the same. I have B138. Thanks. Sorry for my english.

Here's something I made yesterday, while dabbling with low light astrophotography. Yes it's made with my Mate 9. It would look even nicer, if I figured out how to remove those pesky lens aberrations.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] raduverdes:
Use manual mode with shutter speed faster than 1/50 seconds.

In normal/well lit rooms you could go as fast as 1/160- 1/200sec (iso will raise to 2000-3200) but you will get good exposure and freeze the action. Try monochrome also with above settings for night action scenes (and perfect white balance ?).

After some testing I took the chance and went back to Nougat MHA-L29C432B182 (April 2017), coming from some Oreo release (before the GPU update thingy, which seems to prevent you from doing this) and am totally satisfied with my night shots again. I think it even takes slightly better pictures than the later Nougat releases. Night photos look much more detailed and less compressed.

Phone runs fast, very smooth and with great battery life again.

Couldn't be happier!

Does setting your photo resolution to 12MP produce better quality photos compared to 20MP? In other words, is the 20MP camera sensor oversampling to produce a better quality 12MP photo?
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] gm007:
20MP is better cause it use the 20MP black and white sensor.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] sobelixtus:
I'm not sure if 20MP pictures are really better because those are built from BW sensor image and colors are filled from 12 MP RGB sensor.

Personally I have always used 12MP pictures but that doesn't make it better option :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] dscline:
Unless you are printing them, or pixel peeping, it's probably moot. ;)
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] gm007:
What matters is the details ,so 20MP is better since the details are coming from the 20MP sensor.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] dscline:
But again, if your just looking at the photo on-screen, it's scaled down to less than 20MP, and even less than 12MP. Any extra details that might be there, won't be noticed unless you zoom in, or print it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] doublematteo:
the photos very detailed :good::good::good:
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] trace1er:
Even shooting a 12MP resolution photo, I'm under the impression that both cameras are still used. The details still come from the 20MP camera. I was wondering if it oversamples the pixels to create a better image, much like what Nokia Lumia phones used to do. The Lumia 1020 had a 41MP camera, but produced 5 megapixel images that were absolutely stunning.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] samson09:
I bought the mate 9 and honestly I'm not satisfied with the images. Especially in low light. My note 5 was a little bit better in my opinion. I think I will back to n5 :(

Huawei really need to learn their employes who work with the camera software, after edit raw files I must say that on the jpg files they use way to much niose reduction and and the pictures is to dark in alot of parts.

I attach two images which is a good example for what I wrote.

The first picture is jpg and the other one an jpg from raw with some editing.

You can see how much the noise reduction reduce details in the trees and the grass but also dosnt manage to fix the shadows.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] @Peterrrrr:
In this picture the camera software makes the whole picture look unatrual.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Swan Princess:
Sadly jpeg is the only way to go, if you want lens correction. Without it the vignetting is very bad. Plus there's usually a lot of noise in the raws as well.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] @Peterrrrr:
The vignetting is not a problem, it is very easy to fix in photoshop, the noise is easy to fix also.

The problem with Mate 9 is that the software use noise reduction and after that it sharpnen the photo afterwards which gives the picture an artificial look. Also alot of details dissapears.

I have only tried a few raw files and the pcicutres is a lot better then the ones that the camera software fixes.

Here is an good exmaple of that, the first picture is a jpg from the camera and the other is an raw file that I have adjusted.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Swan Princess:
You can clearly see the vignetting - a bright ring in the middle though. It's quite distracting, at least to me.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] :
But the vignetting is aslo in the normal jpg sometimes.

Shame there isnt any lens correction for the camera.
