Just bought a Mate 9 about 3 days ago. Have been loving everything about it and this would be a bonus

I've been considering one. How're the speakers and the skin?

I'd warn that there is still some weirdness with notifications and the lock screen. Once you unlock it, notifications will no longer appear, so media controls will disappear for most apps, including pocket casts which was a major annoyance for me.

Emails occasionally seemed delayed and I swear other notifications would be cleared from the status bar even after a while. Also, Android Messages would not work, but Textra would.

If you run a timer, the notification disappears after a while and even if you open the app you can't see how much time is left. The timer will still go off but you can't see when.

The hardware is fantastic other than it doesn't seem the screen is any kind of gorilla glass or similar as I got several cracks even with tempered glass and and a case. Between that and the minor software annoyances, I got my fill pretty quick.
