The Huawei Mate 9 is now available from Three, on contract and pay as you go, starting at £31/month plus £99 for the phone and £549.99 plus £10 top up respectively.

Huawei’s Mate 9 boasts a huge 4,000mAh battery that easily lasts a day (and then some), 5.9-inch Full HD LCD screen, an interesting dual-lens 4K video-shooting camera set up, Kirin 960 octo-core processor and intelligent machine learning which keeps memory in reserve for your most used apps.

Three’s exclusively selling 64GB ‘space grey’ versions of the Mate 9. Our review sample was a 64GB-er, of which 49.48GB was available to us from fresh. If you want more space, you can add a microSD card (officially up to 256GB), but doing so means you sacrifice one of the phone’s two SIM card slots. Alternatively, you could shop around elsewhere for the 128GB version, but be prepared to drop between £600-£700 on that.

The cheapest Pay Monthly contract Three’s offering the Mate 9 on costs £31/month plus £99 upfront for the handset. This 24 month deal gets you unlimited minutes and texts and 1GB of data a month.

If you want more firepower than that, one of Three’s Advanced Plans gives you 4GB of data plus unlimited calls and texts, the option of WiFi tethering, free calls and texts abroad for £41/month plus an upfront cost £29.

Big spenders who want the top tier unlimited data deal will need to pay out £56/month plus £29 up front. This gets you unlimited texts and messages, 30GB for when you’re tethering, plus Feel At Home calls, texts and data when abroad.
