With a retail price of RM1299, is this too much for just a selfie phone? To find out the pros and cons, take a read below to find out.

We know that the Huawei Mate 9 is coming to Malaysia on the 22nd of November through Lazada – but a new report seen online is saying that Malaysia is also getting the other two variants of the Mate 9 – the Huawei Mate 9 Pro and Porsche Design Huawei Mate 9 – on the same date!
