Consumers in the states got a taste for Huawei’s wares once the Nexus 6P debuted. It made a mark, and the Huawei Mate 9 US release date should do the same as the handset is rumored to debut next month on January 9^th.

A few years ago, Huawei bringing a flagship to the United States would have seemed like a dream to most phone fans. Things have changed considerably in the smartphone landscape since that time. Huawei is one of the major players now and the Huawei Mate 9 US release date is something plenty of folks have been looking forward to… especially after the Note 7 recall. According to @Evleaks, you won’t have to wait long as it may be available early next month.

• 5.9-inch 1,920 x 1,080 display
• Kirin 960 octa-core processor
• 4GB of RAM
• 64GB of expandable storage
• Dual Camera 20MP + 12MP with PDAF, Laser AF and Dual LED flash
• 8MP front-facing camera
• Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Type-C USB, 4G LTE
• 4,000mAh battery

While Blass’s news is something most of us saw coming, being able to actually slap a date on the handset is great. That means if the device is one you radar, you may want to go light on the holiday spending as it should debut with a price tag north of $700 unlocked.

Are you planning on picking up the Huawei Mate 9 when it hits the US?
