Are huwawei phones as good as htc, lg and samsung?

Are they available in lebanon?
Huawei is a great company. They made the best Android phone ever, the Nexus 6P. You can find Huawei phones in Lebanon but not as easily as your usual suspects

Of course NOT!
It's like comparing a Bugatti with a kia in terms of build quality and premium feeling
HTC A9 and X9 are pretty good phones for the price don't listen to them, tomorrow they will pay 800$ for an S7 and say it's not expensive ;)
Also specs wise the screen, SOUND QUALITY and memory slot you get with the HTC are better than huyawei
The A9 is the best audiophile phone available right now, a friend of mine who has an iphone 6+ told me that the A9 is a bit better while he always found his phone the best in audio...
There are also chinese smartphones at 25$ on aliexpress, why pay an HTC :)
Oh I have been said that salloum is working for CTC which are selling huawei, go figures ;)

Oh boy. If I cared even a little I would reply to this nonsense
Btw it's incredibly obvious that you realize the A9 is a so-so phone after buying it and you're trying to justify it to yourself and to others. lol

Sorry for interfering but clearly you didn't had a hand on a huawei phone,the 6p is just brilliant and more premium than any htc phone out there now and probably more than the m10(looking at leaked pictures) and btw ctc is selling huawei phone but not the 6p. The only problem with huawei phones in lebanon are still the lack of the products and accessories in the market(i still can't find a cover for the 6p) but hey that's why aliexpress exists.

Exactly - Huawei phones have amazing build quality, even the midrangers like the Honor 5x. It just must be hard for HTC fanboys to accept their company is sinking faster than the titanic and that Chinese offerings are leaps and bounds ahead of them. For what it's worth CTC don't even have the 6P or the Honor 5x. And no, I don't have a dead end CTC job thankfully!

to be honest i used to be one of the biggest htc fanboys but their failure this past two years and with the growth of the Chinese smartphones,htc are just counting the days before they burn down if they don't step up their game and specially with their new tactic (the copycat) they're just demolishing themselves.I hope that htc regain it's conscience and become innovative again and stop focusing on midrange devices instead of the flagship device.
Ok I reported you again because you clearly have only one target here: destroy this thread.
Just to say: Rule 7:
Don't troll. Deliberately posting provocative content will get you banned.

Since I said something good about HTC you are paid by CTC to destroy this review.
You have been OFF TOPIC since day 1, moderators told you to stop but you clearly don't care
Again if you don't like the A9 or HTC in general just go and scream elsewhere your love for other brands, the day you will post your review about the S7 or huyawei don't cry if I will massacre your review too.
I am not here to justify anything I posted reviews about phones since the SONY Ericsson K800 meaning more than 10 years ago and this is my passion to post reviews, if you don't like them this is your problem but don't insult me!
Man, I have no idea what your problem is with me but I haven't said anything bad about your review at all. You can review all my posts in this thread. You attacked me because I said Huawei have better phones for cheaper than HTC do, that's it. People read these threads and sometimes make purchasing decisions based on info available so I think it's important for all the cards to be on the table. No reason for someone to purchase an A9 because YOU think it's great while every other review on Youtube says otherwise. For what it's worth I'm not even an Android user....... Hope you snap out of it bro.

Well see?
You are again saying nonsense, all reviews on the internet (pro ones) were very positive about the A9.
And again we are talking about A9 here and not other brands
You said I posted this review to justify my buy and that's totally wrong. This is very insulting for me as I posted reviews for phones for years and over many forums not only here.
My passion for smartphones and multimedia is not limited by childish justification of buying them or not.
I will post a thread about my longer term use of the A9 and you will see all things are not perfect with this phone (none phone is), but like any other phone you can't find the little daily things but after weeks even months.
All my apologies if I offended you. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I'm glad you like your device, after all that's what matters. Cheers

Edit: about 'pro' reviews, I suggest you look at reviews from actual users (not only the A9 but in the future, you should do this) because these so-called pro reviewers usually get the devices free from the manufacturers and like to talk up the phone a lot more than they should. This is very common, I hope you know that.

Not at all, pro reviewers smashed and crashed the HTC M9 because they never get paid by HTC in opposition with what samsung and apple do. If they have found the A9 pretty good it's because they were really charmed.
youtube dudes well...they are worse than pro-reviewers, 90% of reviews you will see are paid reviews, they get free samples if they praised them or they are paid to destroy a phone while being paid by samsung,apple...
Yes you should watch some investigations about how these big names are very dirty in marketing by paying people and making fake propaganda

While I disagree with @vegetaleb, I also disagree with you, HTC are currently the only company that's on par with Apple in terms of build quality, and their phones are the most premium of the mainstream Android phones, the only Android that can give HTC a run for their money is the LG G5. The 6P is better than the M9 in everything but build quality. BTW I'm sure those "leaks" are fake, last year no one leaked legit pictures of the M9 until the week before its unveiling, and the M10 won't be unveiled until the 10th of April.
^ I would say the Nexus 6P in particular has a build quality that is on par with the M9/A9. It's true that HTC phones have excellent build quality but so do Huaweis.

TBH I never had a Huawei so I can't really judge.

How fast (and by how much) do the price of HTC phones decrease starting from the moment of their release in Lebanon? I am asking you since you seem to have a good experience with HTC phones here.

It depends
For a flagship like the incoming M10 here's a typical scenario:
-1st week = 700$
-2nd week = 650 even 630$
-3rd and 4th week = 600$
-5th week = 575$
-6th week = 540$
Price stays that way for about 2-3 weeks
Then it decreases for 10$ every week till it reaches 500$ then it will stay at 500$ for a month or 2
Well i sold my G4 and got a Huawei mate 8. Apart from the quality of the camera that is enough for me, i can say that the phone has killer specs, excellent battery and excellent build quality (way better than G4) for 50$ more than the htc a9 a midrange phone (according to the pricelist of phonefinity). For me it was a no brainer and does not regret my decision.
