you have two great upper middle range devices but i believe P9 will beat them hands down. But what will you be doing with three phones when people like me no get one. Inequality of life

both phones are already close to their new owners, my only problem with the phone is no 4k recording and the on-screen bottons...

yes i know things will get better with time. Anyway check slot for the price of your device you can check out 1+ 3, Mi5 pro

Current P9 prices ranges from $400 (swappa and ebay) and 190k (Banex in Abuja)

Also remember that there are different P9 models for different region of the world, particularly as LTE networks are springing up. Almost got one last week that wouldn't have work properly in 9ja as it wasn't made for international market. Make sure what you are getting is compatible with European/International network standards.

You could also consider Oneplus 3

Huawei are one of the worst when it comes to software updates, thats why they're not really a strong presence in the Us

are you sure or you are just making assumption? They do not have strong presence in us because the us government accuse them espionage. Selling data to china

I mean among customers, the only Huawei devices that really sell there are the Nexus based, they are worse than Samsung when it comes to software update, is there a marshmallow update for the P8 right now?? Or the mate 7?? Or even the P7 and Mate 6 who are still eligible cos of the software based 18 months life cycle

i really do not know about that so i will advice op to make enquiry about their software support. But americans are very paranoid once it comes to security. Once you are termed enemy of the state, firms and individuals alike will run away from you. Can you believe that their president just started using a s4 few months ago with no camera

No P.... but you also know that Kirin... sometimes isn't as powerful as MTK or Snapdragon SoC.. Better For Op to read reviews, From sites like Trusted Reviews, Android Authority, ETC.
Just my 1 kobo though

kirin is far better than mtk but not as powerful as sd or exonys

the reviews on one plus 3 is making sense, I think I'll go for it.

no be small confusion...but for now one plus 3 have got an edge over it competitors, is a flagship killer.

availability and probably aftersales service should also be a factor
