It was initially rumoured to see the Huawei Mate 9 in December 2016, but it seems that the Chinese site Weibo has a rumoured November 2016 release. There is no further confirmation on the exact date, just an approximate time frame.

The price is rumoured to be around €699 which converts to around £620. This price does seem a little steep, given that a similar spec'ed Huawei Honor 8.

The new Huawei Mate 9 is rumoured to come in two variants, a lower-spec non-curved display, and a higher-end curved phone which could be limited to the Chinese market only.
