Huawei is on the up and up in the UK with its latest flagships, the Huawei P9 and the larger Huawei P9 Plus. While the Huawei P9 launched shortly after its announcement in April, it has taken a bit longer for the Huawei P9 Plus to reach UK shores.

Huawei has gone to town with its new P9 handset family, releasing it in 'regular', Plus and Lite versions. We liked the 5.2-inch P9 when we reviewed it, and in many respects the 5.5-inch P9 Plus is the same handset writ large.

Slimline aluminium unibody construction; Dual-lens main camera delivers high-quality composite images; Press Touch screen functionality; Flexible and responsive fingerprint scanner; Stereo speakers; Good battery life

Screen resolution is lower than other flagship handsets; Huawei Emotion UI may not appeal to everyone

Clever, capable cameras; Fast fingerprint sensor; Top-notch screen with Press Touch;

Pressure-sensitive screen doesn’t have a lot of uses; You’ll need flagship funds to buy one;

The Huawei P9 Plus is not just a bigger version of the standard P9 . The manufacturer not only equips the Plus model with a bigger screen and a larger battery but also implements several additional features and even uses a completely different display technology.

fast SoC; expandable storage; wide range of frequencies; good cameras; voice quality; provided headset; quick-charge; USB Type-C; very good battery runtimes; Press Touch; Infrared; cover included; 3-year warranty; good speakers

only USB 2.0, only LTE Cat; 6, neither MHL nor SlimPort, slight SoC throttling under sustained load, no 4K video recordings, no FM radio, expensive

Following the release of the 5.2 inch Huawei P9 , Huawei has followed up with a larger 5.5 inch version, the Huawei P9 Plus. Along with a bigger display, the P9 Plus comes with an auto-focus front facing camera and an IR blaster.

Good camera Pressure sensitive display Nice design Fast fingerprint reader Build quality microSD expansion IR blaster

Emotion UI might not be for everyone Lack of OIS No 4K video

Good phone but a little bit expensive. Battery life is inconsistent - some days are acceptable and there are days when the battery drains out of the usual. EMUI is simple and easy to use but not everybody's cup of tea - just right for me.

EMUI is easy to use; Camera; Dual SIM; Expandable storage

Battery life; Price - expensive

So far, without a doubt the best phone I have owned! Standing between this and Huawei p9, comes from Sony. Since I could buy this in bundle with Huawei's watch, it was a no brainer

It is my first every review I am leaving for this fantastic device was not really sure that if I have to purchase this one or not, But honestly its best ever phone I have purchased so far with the amazing different features and the best thing is its affordable worth every penny!!! :)

A smart wonderful phone. Easy to install and handle. Great 4G pick and great Wi-Fi reception. Wonderful clear images. Great camera. I am loving it!! I was in need of a great camera phone for my work in medical disability evaluation.
