The Huawei Mate 9 was spotted at GFXBench with features such as a 5.9-inch full-HD display with 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution that looks like a phablet category display size. It is powered by the octa-core 2.6GHz HiSilicon Hi3660 (Cortex A53 – ARMv8) processor with ARM Mali-T880 GPU. The Hi3660 chip also confirms that the Mate 9 will be launched with the unannounced Kirin 970 chipset. The Kirin 920 was having the serial number Hi3630, Kirin 930 was having Hi3635 and Kirin 955 was having Hi3650 serial number, as its serials so the Hi3660 is likely the new higher chipset clocked at 2.6GHz as against 2.5GHz found on the Huawei P9 flagship.
![Huawei Mate 9, the expected next big thing from Chinese phonemaker Huawei is expected to pop in September 1 as the company has sent out invites to a conference preceding the September 2 commencement of the IFA Berlin 2016. Well, that was the expectation before it was dashed by statements credited to Huawei's Mobile Product Line manager but that hasn't stopped the flow of rumors about the flagship device and our expectations for September 1 release date. Huawei Mate 9 GFXBench Before now all we had were just sketchy rumors about a few specs the next Huawei Mate series smartphone will tag along. However, a few details of what is supposedly the Huawei Mate 9 has surface via popular benchmarking site GFX Bench. The GFXBench data featured an "unknown" device with 5.9-inch display having a somewhat disappointing resolution of 1080pixels. The device is said to pack a 2.6GHz Octa-core HiSilicon Hi3660 chipset with Mali-T880 GPU. The chipset is what suggests that the unknown device is likely the Mate 9 as the Hi3660 serial number suggests the device is having a new generation chip, perhaps the Kirin 970 as rumored. Previous Huawei chipset models like the Kirin 920 had a serial number of Hi3630, 930 had Hi3635 and Kirin 955 Hi3650 as its serials so the Hi3660 is likely a new higher chipset. The listing also shows the device will boot Android 7.0 Nougat and also pack 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage on-board. There's been rumors that the Huawei Mate 9 will sport a 20MP camera but the data showed the Mate 9 with only 12MP camera at the rear and an 8MP front facing sensor.

It has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of inbuilt storage capacity. It runs on the Android 7.0 Nougat OS out of the box and might support dual-SIMs. It features a 12-megapixel rear LED-flash camera with an 8-megapixel front facing camera. The device also comes with other features that includes GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi and a number of sensors. No other details were confirmed by this GFXBench listing, so we have to wait for the official confirmation or the TENAA listing of this device.
Stay tuned.
