With so many smartphones available in the market, it can be hard to choose one that fits the consumer's needs. And with the amount of applications and other features running in the background nowadays, battery life is very important. Thankfully, the Huawei Mate 9 is here to solve this problem.
According to Phone Arena, the Huawei Mate 9 outperforms a number of smartphones when it comes to battery life, including the iPhone 7 Plus.

When it comes to how fast the smartphone charges, the Huawei Mate 9 gets a full battery in two hours and 24 minutes, while the iPhone 7 Plus took significantly longer with three hours and 17 minutes.
Clearly, when battery is the topic of conversation, the Huawei Mate 9 is better than the iPhone 7 Plus by a long shot. However, there are also other things to consider, like display and specifications.
In a comparison by GSM Arena, the Huawei Mate 9 sports a 5.9-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protector, while the iPhone 7 Plus has a 5.5-inch LED-backlit IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with an ion-strengthened glass and oleophobic coating.

Under the hood, the Huawei Mate 9 has a Hisilicon Kirin 960 chipset and the iPhone 7 Plus has an A10 processor. In terms of memory, Huawei offers 64 GB of built-in storage and 4 GB of RAM, while Apple has 3 GB of RAM and three internal storage options: 32, 128, and 256 GB. Unfortunately, the iPhone 7 Plus does not have a microSD slot for expandable storage, unlike the Huawei Mate 9.
Ultimately, though, it is up to the consumer to choose which smartphone is best for them. However, it should be noted that the iPhone 7 Plus is a little more expensive than the Huawei Mate 9.
