T he Huawei P9 has also taken a few giant leaps forward in terms of smartphone cameras. While many OEMs have spent copious amounts of time and money within their R&D departments to reduce costs and increase capabilities of their cameras, it wasn't until the release of Nokia's 808 PureView, and a...

Huawei has come from nowhere over the past few years, from its humble beginnings producing uninspired budget devices to having a full complement of Android handsets, including impressive flagships that are not limited to Google's well-regarded Nexus 6P .

With its unibody metal design, the P9 certainly looks the part and prompts no complaints in the design department, although not really offering anything unique either. At 5.2" Full HD (423 ppi pixel density) the display falls in line with other top end offerings (except the 4K Sony Z5 Premium ),...
