Huawei Mate 9 now due in November?

It was only last week we reported the Huawei Mate 9 would be released in December. The news came from Chinese site Weibo, but now a week on and the same site is speculating a November release instead.

And if the rumours are to be believed, Huawei will actually have three versions of the phone to release, the most expensive one being bundled with a Huawei Watch smartwatch.

Fortunately, the Kirin 960 processor is still predicted, but the different versions will come with different amounts of RAM and internal storage. The cheapest of the three phones will come with 4GB of RAM and either 64GB or 128GB of storage while the most expensive will have 6GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

The cheapest model is expected to just be rolled out in Europe, with an estimated cost of 699 euros.

The user on Weibo also states the three phones will be available in nine different colour choices: Amber Gold, Ceramic White, Amber Gray, Rose Gold, Moonlight Silver, Sky Gray, Mocha Gold, Champagne Gold and Enamel Gloss Black.

Elsewhere things are just as we’ve seen before; a dual lens rear camera, with both sensors being 20-megapixels, 5.9-inch full HD display and Android 7.0 or 7.1. While the actual release month is a little up in the air at the moment, we can be safe in the knowledge we’ll see the Huawei Mate 9 before the year is out.
