[@SharDances]

This is the most in-depth review I've ever watched about Huawei P9. Thank you! :)

[@LucienSabre]

My mom just got this as her first smartphone ever; she's still learning to use it - and sometimes she complains because she's finding it hard to get used to some features - but I can tell she's enjoying it....as I'll do myself next fall, as I'm gonna get myself a Huawei P8 (P9 is too expensive for me) for my birthday or Christmas. 😂👍📱❤️

[@tedfico7968]

Price will drop a lot by fall. Get the p9

[@LucienSabre]

+ted fico I wish I could, but prices don't go down so quickly in Italy; it'll probably take probably until next year before the P9 can be bought at a discounted price.

[@YoussefAmoun]

Get her an iPhone, easier to use.

[@LucienSabre]

+Youssef Amoun Are you serious!? 😳 Lucky you if you're so rich you can afford to drop € 550-650 at the tip of a hat like that for a phone immediately after spending € 300 on the Huawei P9, but my family (and most families in general) doesn't have that kind of money. 🙄👎

[@CoHuTo]

Best P9 Review I've seen so far! I like the details you go through as ultimately you cannot only choose a smartphone by a quick overlook and opinion on behalf of the reviewer!

[@heyhazrin]

When it comes to review with precise detail, no one does it better than DetroitBORG

[@armughanmalik5419]

Hello Can u inbox the p9 lite And compare with p9

[@armughanmalik5419]

Unbox

[@darklinggolem]

What. Make a P9 Lite

[@Laggex_]

I want to see review of version Lite too

[@Delusionalpie]

Inbox...lol

[@DetroitBORG]

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep my eye out for a window to do it.

[@masroorashiq]

I have Huawei P9 .. its awesome device I have ever use I am so satisfied with Huawei P9 and happy to have it

[@Millahtime]

Holy shit. These Chinese companies are totally inventive geniuses. Where did they come up with this brilliant design language for touchscreen navigation and software design? Such bold risk takers, pioneering new foundational frameworks that the market has never seen before. It takes balls to deliver something new, and boy do these Chinese companies know how to design, develop, bring it to market, and get consumers to adopt this unfamiliar alien technology!

[@aneet1980]

very nice review.... i used huawei honor 7 last year i must say it was really great device ...i was amazed by its performance....i didnt expected it. huawei is a very gud phone manufacturer.......

[@Bryan-ct8ne]

I will buy this phone by Saturday. So hyped right now. Thanks for the great review.

[@abdullahamer6969]

Brilliant review Mike! The footage was so clean. It game me eyegasms.

[@DetroitBORG]

Awesome to hear, Thank You!

[@TheMetroologist]

+DetroitBORG Hey, Mr.Borg! Just wondering, what happened to your Moto G4 and G4 Plus review? One minute I'm watching it, then I leave KZbin for a second and I can't find it. Did you delete the video?

[@user-cj5ox9dl6u]

Oh my god! Your left hand is like a tripod, it never even shakes in this video at all!!!!OMG

[@Laggex_]

OMG I was waiting for this review. Thank you Michael! :D

[@Laggex_]

Btw, Can you do review of Huawei p9 LITE?

[@suheefuddin9427]

He probably got tired by making this vid. Very less chance or no chance of him doing it

[@Laggex_]

We'll see ;)

[@benblackburn2693]

this is actually pretty well packed it's good to see this company setting themselves up as innovators after the release of the Nexus

[@bampion]

You are VERY underrated, why don't you have 1 million sub's yet!?

[@spicyweasel]

Even if you are a little late with posting the reviews, I really look forward to yours before even thinking of buying. And you have a very pleasant voice. :P

[@DanRC69]

An awesome and VERY thorough review. If all reviews were this good, I'd be skint!

[@integra407]

you can remove the borders if you want, u will need to download a special huawei theme which a tutorial can be found on youtube!

[@ahmedkamer2011]

+DetroidBorg premium review as always

[@mudengineer83]

Good review as usual Mike...I bought the P9 plus for my wife great phone actually I'm thinking to go back for Android and leave iphone 6s...only one annoying issue that volume up / down button is controlling ringer volume and no option in settings to turn it off..

[@drewjames7015]

watching this on the huawei p8👊 still going strong💪

[@kherve4255]

this is what i call a a review, you went over all the significant options, thanks !

[@RevenantShark]

As usual an amazing, comprehensive review perfectly detailing the pros and cons of this device. Looking forward to your Moto G4/G4+ review!!! :D

[@edwardtang1977]

The "H" in Huawei isn't silent. I'm Chinese. So trust me. 華為= Hua Wei

[@KevinChen2022]

whatever, Huawei for Chinese, uawei for westerner

[@Ac1d_]

[@JK-xz1lt]

Really good, detailed review. Excellent work.

[@TheMoath324]

[@eldaradato542]

[@HeadshotMachineX]

A great in-depth review as always!

[@Zoeyloveswolves]

Hey Mike, love your videos. I would love to hear your opinion on this question: of all the phones you have reviewed this year, what is by far your #1 favorite phone?

[@Zoeyloveswolves]

That is not an apple.

[@KashC]

Wow I'm early Detroitborg your so cool I love your channel

[@Josh_GS__]

very complete and helpful as always.. thanks

[@Xyorindean666]

The Spec is glamour. Huawei P9 Plus, when review?

[@275MsParis]

That's a Sweet Phone and Beautiful Review....Super Clean

[@beto0506]

Hello Mike, quick question... do you this Huawei's camera is better than the one on iPhone 6S? Besides the aperture between these two do you think the images from Leica is better than iPhone? Thanks Mike.

[@mikastupnik]

Mike is it possible that you changed your mic ?

[@DetroitBORG]

Nah, I'm using the same gear for awhile now.

[@audieliem4843]

+DetroitBORG It's kinda thinny and sharp (not a good sharp), maybe a bit more distance or pop filter?

[@darkHere-pq3jx]

+DetroitBORG do you keep those phones ?

[@ievanor4092]

.

[@strygver]

could we get and elaboration of the meaning of the benchmark stats. what does the single core mean and what does the multicore mean???

[@Hawk999]

Again an excellent review. 👍🏻

[@iamavrojyoti]

You're the BOSS! :) Sony Xperia X Performance Review next plz?

[@edenkabir508]

can you review this with the oneplus 3? they're both flagship killers but it makes me curious which one wins the race in quality and etc...

[@NorakRottanak]

the phone is good, reason I dun buy is that ui especially notification panel, update from best ui from stock to worst ui.

[@matthewwest1416]

Notification light in the left corner? Don't you mean right (the green light in the speaker grill)

[@spykzap1]

Brilliant review , all points covered superb 👍🏽

[@DOUGHBOY420.]

Awesome Professional Review Mike!

[@DetroitBORG]

Thanks David!

[@charbelhaddad6507]

Hi, awsome review! Would you consider reviewing the Huawei mate 8 by any chance?

[@tahsinahmed1858]

Great review dude!!

[@vasilije8779]

Hello, can I ask, does it feel really good in your hand and do the spaces up and down from the screen feel a bit to big? Please answer. Also u got a like and sub ;D

[@pannicsatornaja]

Watching his videos for years, still can't figure it out what he is saying in the beginning of his videos between Michael and DetroitBorg 😂

[@aimless9]

Panni Timkó (whats up guys mike here the detroitborg) xD

[@jabeera7507]

+Detroit Borgh I have heard that the camera of huewai p9 is not made by Leica it is made by a Chinese company name as sunny opticals camera I heard this from a video made by jerryrigeverything in his teardown video and I think he is right

[@matthewwest1416]

Notification squad!! Where you guys at

[@hellblock9934]

Right here!!

[@Zainiac400]

Should I get this or the Google Pixel

[@mczenk5095]

Zainiac400 Well the Pixel is a full on flagship this is more of a quality mid range. The Pixel is better, but it's hundreds of dollars more.

[@trunks673]

Finally, Mike Finally!!!

[@nnextccode8456]

How are you guys donig? :D

[@darklinggolem]

Im fnie

[@darklinggolem]

How you donig

[@nnextccode8456]

+Sparkels nice :D

[@nnextccode8456]

+The Zombie Block Well preaty good :D

[@patshauntrick5171]

I'm doing meh

OMG It has so many similarities to the iPhone. Btw this was a great review, as always!

[@DetroitBORG]

Thanks Ever!

[@fedsanity]

This isn't good news for the iPhone 7, which is supposed to have a similar dual camera system. I thought it would result in a big jump in image quality, but the P9 just makes it look like a gimmick.

[@hobbiekhn3713]

plz do some videos upon 6x review. U r perfect in presenting and explaining ur views 👍

[@RealAndres143]

Are you planning to do a Tab A 10.1 review?

[@vinayaksuri8166]

Have to buy a new phone... So p9 or p9 plus or lg G5? Purely from a pro mode photography standpoint... Your guidance will be of great help

[@aimless9]

Ali Danial its too outdated for him to make a video of it. but im pretty sure he will make a video of the new huawei mate9

[@markrobby7136]

This vs the honor 8, which is better in terms of camera and the performances ?

[@sanelem777]

Great review man!!! (y)

[@kucuksamuray]

What is you favorite smartphone actually ? And why?

[@the3donuts934]

[@ivlad1701]

[@micolechan3081]

[@farhantanveer4535]

[@DetroitBORG]

Yes, I've tested so many phones that can't get this detail right and this one does.

[@farhantanveer4535]

+DetroitBORG i almost couldn't differentiate between the two microphones, until you said it picks up audio really great! 😃

[@lokkey98]

Hello, does huawei p9 gps has a good accurate or same as other device ?

[@Ilija742]

Best in class videos, can you do samsung a5 2016?

[@voltaire2001]

Surprised that no one has complained in the comments about the black border around the display.

[@CloudMeka]

I love your cute puppy 😍😍

[@aqibislam8363]

Can you please review the new Moto G4 and G4 plus?

[@xavierashford9072]

This is a really smart smartphone.

[@bryanshannon5560]

DetroitBORG, in your Moto G Unboxing & Review video, can you do a size comparison of those devices with the 2nd Generation Moto E & the Moto X Pure Edition?

[@DetroitBORG]

I'll see if I can squeeze that in, thanks for the suggestion!

[@bryanshannon5560]

***** , your welcome, that's why your my favorite Tech KZbinr of all time!

[@jeffvillasis1189]

I really like your cap Mike. You wanna give that away?

[@Rubikorigami]

Hey man, do you think you'll give the Mate 9 your treatment? :)

[@awabkhurram2238]

Mike , huwaie also has the huwaie p9 lite. U can get it from Amazon and plz unbox it 😉

[@Erikakicute]

Is the camera good enough?

[@fedeffotography]

very cool. Price ?

[@Zapto01]

Hi there, I have a Nexus 6p, should i upgrade to P9? Have a good day!

[@gurkan602]

[@Zapto01]

Better cut my throat and throw myself off a bridge than to get a shit phone like that.

[@DogeFrom2014]

[@jeffbenjamin7986]

[@DetroitBORG]

Thanks Buddy, appreciate it! :)

[@kamikazekunze]

Not dual sim like the OnePlus X?

[@milan2k11]

nice looking phone but that massive front bottom bezel with the branding bothers the shhh out of me, plus the capacitive buttons..takes away almost an inch of display

[@Re0wijaya]

please do a Windows 10 mobile device sir.. its been so long you haven't review a Windows Phone review :D HP Elite X3 is near to be released, hope you can cover it :D

[@shuliesayed7930]

Is this phone too big for the hands??Also which should I buy Huawei p9 or the Xperia xa?

[@aimless9]

shulie sayed im using the huawei p9 and its definetly a 2 hand job but you can easly change the size of the screen in the settings

[@shotbycjthomas2121]

Great video!
