Anyone who remembers that Huawei was a company that launched mid-range smartphones with good design a few years ago, remembers something that has nothing to do with current reality. And it is that Huawei could launch one of the most expensive mobiles of the year. The Huawei Mate 9 Pro it could come to have a price that would exceed 1.000 euros. In addition, the camera will have optical zoom.
Optical zoom on the Leica camera
Both the Huawei Mate 9 and the Huawei Mate 9 Pro will be similar phones. The two will have a 5,9 inch screen, although with different resolution. It is also true that the screen of one will be curved while the other will not. However, beyond that, we will see many similarities, with a very similar design, and almost in the same colors, and the same camera.

And it is that this will be one of the most relevant characteristics of the mobile, the dual camera with Leica technology. We knew it would be of high quality. But now it is stated that the key to this will be that it will have a four-magnification optical zoom, which reminds us a lot of that of the iPhone 7 Plus, and that leads us to think that the difference between the two cameras will be the focal length, and not the fact that one camera will be RGB and the other monochrome.
Huawei Mate 9 Pro, more than 1.000 euros
The information on the camera would have been published by the well-known leakster @evleaks. However, he has not only talked about the optical zoom of the camera, but he has also talked about the price that this smartphone would have. Basically, it seems that it could reach $ 1.250 in its Huawei Mate 9 Pro version. This means that its price, even with a direct currency exchange, it could be more than 1.000 euros.
A lot of money for a smartphone that, remember, is from a company that a few years ago was at a lower level than many others, and that today is already the third most relevant manufacturer of mobile phones in the world, only surpassed by Apple and Samsung . its Huawei Mate 9 Pro It will not be a mobile phone for those who want to save money, but a smartphone for those who want to buy the best on the market.
If I become a millionaire, I will ask myself whether to buy it or not. At the moment I don't even notice.
