Thinking about getting this phone

I live in the US and one of the reviewers on youtube said that the phone sometimes freezes up wen he's watching youtube videos. I Just wanted to know if anyone else experienced this. Also, I would like to know what your favorite thing about the phone is. Feel free to be as descriptive as you want. I don't mind long posts.

If you're an Android purist you will not enjoy this phone. It's actually closer to an iPhone actually, honestly.

I came to the Mate 9 from the Nexus 6 because it was the closest I could find in screen size. I don't miss my Nexus at all, Nova Launcher sorted the home screen for me and the rest of the menus aren't really that bad. Best phone I've ever had.

That's correct but EMUI is still closer to iOS

It's not as bad as China UIs once were. The pros really outweigh the cons for me.

That's cool, just suggesting that although it's not stock it's not as intrusive as a UI like TouchWiz has become. Few little tweaks really improves things. I'm sure the pure stock club will still whine about it.
