The Huawei Mate 9 is one of the best Chinese smartphones of 2016 and it is out for free. But before you can get your hands on this awesome device, there are several steps you need to do before you can have a chance to win it. Don't worry, it is quite easy and simple.

Huawei Mobile has partnered with a YouTube channel named Android Authority for a free smartphone giveaway contest. The contest last for a week and the winner will be announced on Sunday. Here are the steps join the contest:

First, on the YouTube video, click the contest page link written in the video description. Once you ger there, you can either check out what's new or you can just directly scroll down to the contest widget. After that, you have to log-in to the widget and you're ready to get started.

There are several options on how to win the contest. The first option that can really increase your chances of winning is by tweeting the "giveaway" tweet on Twitter which can earn you 3 contest entries. However, this has a minor setback, you can only tweet this post once a day. But if you are able to complete it, it will earn you up to 21 contest entries until Sunday (that is if you didn't miss a day and started right after the contest begun).

The second option is to subscribe to Huawei Mobile's YouTube channel. Subscribing to the channel can give you 5 contest entries. And if you're thinking about subscribing and then unsubscribing back and forth to accumulate contest entries, I don't know think that will work.

The third option is to follow Huawei Mobile on Twitter which will give you 4 contest entries. The fourth option is to visit Huawei's Facebook page that will earn you 3 contest entries. For this part according to the video source, you don't have to hit the like button or write a comment. You just have to visit the page.

As for the fifth option, you can earn another 3 contest entries by leaving a comment on the contest page. You can write whatever you think about the Mate 9 or Huawei Mate 9 Pro, negative or positive. Just be sure to pop your username into the contest widget so that you won't miss getting the 3 contest entries.

And lastly for the final option, once you're done doing the other 5 options, just head to the refer-a-friend section widget where you will find your custom link. Share that link to other people and when each person enters or uses your link, it will earn you 2 contest entries. And just like the first option, this also has its setback, because the link can only earn up to a maximum of 20 contest entries.
