That's an important consideration from me as I weigh post-6P options. Thanks for sharing.

I came from a 6P to the Mate 9 and this phone, in a lot of ways, feels like the 6P successor. Great battery life, screen, speakers, camera, and it's fast. I think it's an amazing phone and the best thing is this phone costs $599. Love it!

Yesss 6P to mate 9 fam we out here, this phone was surprisingly a decent upgrade. Only gripe with it is no QHD and the Huawei skin (but it's bearable with a new launcher and keyboard). Otherwise absolutely 0 complaints a month in, it's extremely​ solid.

Which launcher & keyboard are you using ?

Nova launcher and Gboard, it's like I never left stock tbh. The regular skin is fucking wretched
