[title] Huawei Mate 9 Teardown
-[* black] The cold, grey finish of our Huawei Mate 9 gives us chills as we start the teardown.
-[* black] On the backside we spy (or get spied by) the second-generation Leica Dual Camera. Huawei says that it "renders images in unprecedented detail". All we want at this moment is to take it out of the phablet to get a closer look.
-[* black] The fingerprint sensor is placed in the center of the phablet right below the camera. In the tests of the Huawei Lab it was 20% faster when compared to the Mate 8.
-[* black] Before we start to disassemble the Mate 9 we place it next to its closest sibling—the Huawei 9 Plus, which is only slightly smaller with 0.4 inches less display estate. We personally prefer the curved and more modern looking back of the Mate 9.
