Hi can anyone help to answer these questions about mate 9?

Do you need to restart the phone when you add/remove sim?

Anyone tried using joystick for pogo? Does it work?

P10 and P10 Plus is launching in a few weeks. While I think the Mate 9 is an excellent phone by itself, perhaps you might want to consider the mentioned phones. Regardless, when those come out the Mate 9 price might drop if you still want it.

Dear bros,

Is it worth it to upgrade to a P10 or P10 Plus if I'm currently using a Mate 9?

Thanks!

Is it a good time to buy mate 9 now? Because can recontract already.
it's still a great phone to buy if you're looking for one of, if not the best all rounded phablets on the market with eternal (at least in my use case) battery life with super fast charging.

Mate 9 and the P10 have different target audiences. The Mate 9 is targeted at people who are more business oriented while the P10 is targeted at casual youngsters hence the beautiful green and blue flashy colours.

There is not much of an improvement or basically none at all. The only thing noteworthy is the improvement in the front camera and EMUI 5.1 which would be coming to the Mate 9 sooner rather than later.

I'd reckon it will take a very long time simply due to the power output of a PC USB being so low. Don't have the figures at the top of my head. Coupled with the fact that the Mate 9 has a 4000 mAh battery. Short answer? way too long for any meaningful amount of charging.


edit: usb 1/2 gives out 0.5amp USB 3.0 pumps out 0.9 amps

I think can do the math already but need to account for energy loss during transfer.

aka Damn long time to charge full lol.

Thanks for info, of cos I don't expect to have fast charging when drawing power from PC/laptop.

Currently on my Nexus 6P, charging 50% took 1.5 hours, for Mate 9 with bigger battery, my expectation is 2 - 2.5 hours to charge 50%

Can consider investing in an additional supercharger and cable. The charge rate is frankly pretty amazing. Perfect for those splash and dash moments. my usage of the mate 9 for 100% can last from 9am to 8pm with no need for charging.

It's normal. You can download Ampere if you're curious. When you charge your phone at <50% the current will be at 4.5A+ whereas a standard phone will Max out at. 2.4A.
When the mate9 reaches 70% the current will drop down. And when it reaches 90% the current will be around 0.6A to 1A.
So its normal to feel slow during the last percent.
Thanks for the explanation! This trend seemed more noticeable on the mate 9 than the nexus 6p.
