Huawei declared its most recent smartphone - the Mate 9 - towards the beginning of November. The phablet will advance in China and a few EU nations before Christmas, but it will be accessible in the United States starting January 2017.

In spite of the fact that Huawei's smartphone shipment is very high, the lion's share of its business is in China. However, the Chinese tech giant has maintained solid nearness in Europe and is presently focusing on the US.

"Huawei continues to maintain a strong brand in Europe and is finding success with the P8 and P9 family, where it is taking away share from Samsung and Apple with competitive specs at lower price points with the Lite versions. Huawei may now have it sights set on the U.S., as we have the New York unveiling of its next Mate series flagship (Mate 9) in early November" writes IDC.

The Huawei smartphone sports a gigantic 5.9-inch IPS LCD screen with a display resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. An octa-core Kirin 960 processor timed at 2.4 GHz and 4 GB of RAM powers the phablet for use.

The Huawei Mate 9 comes with Android 7.0 Nougat. The cell phone is outfitted with a 12-megapixel (F2.2 focal point) primary camera and 8-megapixel front facing camera.

Talking about the battery, the phones has a 4,000 mAh battery to power it up.

A few reports highlight that a congressional report of 2012 suggests U.S. bearers stay away from Huawei gadgets because of the dread of China keeping an eye on American clients. Huawei, however, has rejected these claims.

That is not by any means the only thing that makes it hard for Huawei to offer its Mate 9 in the United States. To convey the lead to Verizon and Sprint, which utilize CDMA systems, some critical changes must be made to its chips.

That leaves Huawei with the two GSM bearers in the United States: AT&T and T-Mobile. Sadly, Huawei is facing a patent question with T-Mobile, which implies an association in the United States is exceedingly improbable.

AT&T could be the main man to offer the most recent Mate 9 in the United States.

It won't be all easy for Huawei as it ought to be prepared to face stiff rivalry from well-known brands, mainly Apple and Samsung. The cost of the Mate 9 in Europe begins at 699 euros ($740). Huawei has not reported the cost of the Mate 9 in the United States, but it could cost $650.

It is important that the base model of the iPhone 7 Plus is evaluated at $769, which is just about $120 higher than the assessed cost of the Mate 9.

It will be interesting to see how the new Huawei smartphone would fair in the US market. Stay tuned for further updates.
