The Mate 9’s performance isn’t exactly comes cheap if you thought that would be the case because it originates from China, rather, it costs handsome. But that’s easily the worthy specs over the Note 7 and iPhone 7 if you want that kind of performance. And it’s pretty beautiful too — check out more images in full here.
