Here goes another budget 5G enabled smartphone to invest in. The Huawei Maimang 9 5G is her name. It is succeeding the Maimang 8 of last year.
This smartphone just like every other budget 5G phone you will find in this price point tends to have nearly identical design with only a few features that set them apart.
Among other features you will find on the Huawei Maimang 9 5G, one of the coolest of them all is the dual-mode SA/NSA 5G network support. There is also a heavy presence of photography too.

The Huawei Maimang 9 5G price starts at $314(6GB) and $343(8GB) in Nigeria. It comes in Qijing forest, Sakura snow clear sky and magic night black colors.
Design & Display
We begin with the design. I will say the design of the Huawei Maimang 9 5G is not by any means special, we have continuously seen this particular blue print overtime in Nigeria.
There is nothing unusual, just some few tweaks here and there. You get to feel the presence of a 3D curved back, an 8.9mm thick body with a 212grams weight. The placements didn’t move an inch from what you will expect.
We then move into talking about the display were we have it big. The Huawei Maimang 9 5G has a huge 6.7inch FHD+ panel with a pretty standard 1080 x 2400p and a 20:9 aspect ratio.
Camera & Battery
The camera does have some fair advantage when compared with other smartphones in her price point. At the back is a vertical positioned AI triple camera setup.
The camera system comprises of a 64MP main with f/1.79 aperture, an 8MP ultra-wide with f/2.2 aperture and a 2MP depth sensor with f/2.4 aperture. At the front is a 16MP selfie shooter.
The Triple rear camera system also feature essential camera features like an EIS, super night scene mode, and 4K video recording. I will conclude by saying the image quality is pretty awesome.
The battery on the Huawei Maimang 9 5G is a 4300mAh non-removable battery. It comes with a 22.5W fast charging feature that allows for quick charge in Nigeria.
Software & Specs
The Huawei Maimang 9 5G comes with a pre-installed EMUI 10.1 UI based on Google Android 10 OS. It is not full Android but we know how to get along.
It comes in two storage configuration: a 6GB / 8GB RAM and 128GB ROM available on both variant. There is also a MediaTek Dimensity 800 5G chipset on board.
Final Thoughts
The Huawei Maimang 9 5G is another 5G phone to consider with the move away from the top tier level to a mid-range if not cheap depending on how you see it.
The features here are by no means to the extreme but we got what we want. The main priority was of course 5G, the other features follow through.
The Huawei Maimang 9 5G is no doubt a good option to checkout in Nigeria, if you must buy one, keep it in mind that you are not going to have all of Google 😉
