At the end of the day the P9 Plus is another really solid flagship offering from Huawei. Does it have the best camera in a phone today? Probably. Is it the best flagship in the market right now?

Although it's not marketed as widely as the P9, the Huawei P9 Plus has enough tricks in its pocket to surpass the P9 fugleman if given the chance.

Last month, we gave you our thoughts on the much-raved-about Huawei P9 , which you really can't speak about without shining the spotlight on its dual Leica cameras. Long story short, we came to the conclusion that the P9 is an exceedingly good camera smartphone – and a relatively affordable one at...

Large and vibrant 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display; Very impressive performance; Dual Leica cameras are great for capturing black-and-white photos; Long-lasting battery life

Fingerprints often stick to the back; Tends to get warm after extended periods of use

The P9 Plus is a stylish smartphone that could, together with the standard P9, provide the best camera on the market. It's clear what Huawei needs to do make a truly excellent device. Unfortunately, the P9 falls short for me. The white ceramic produces a certain plasticy impression.

Huawei is fast emerging as one of the most popular smartphone brands in the world. A lot of that notability is thanks to its budget sub-brand, Honor, which cranks out affordable but high quality phones.

Fantastic battery life; fluid and fast performance; quick charging support shaves considerable plug-in time; decent camera system

Some parts of software still counter-intuitive; metal casing is shiny and slippery; huge fingerprint magnet

After the success of the Nexus 6P , Huawei continued its impressive run with the P9 . While its Leica branding was more of a gimmick, the P9 was a great phone capable of rivalling the HTC 10 , Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5 .

Bright display; Decent camera; Lots of photo modes; Impressive battery

Ugly software; Camera takes work; Expensive compared to competition

Is this the best phone Huawei has ever made? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's a fair assessment. It looks the part, is powerful enough to compete with other top-spec phones, and takes fantastic photos - even if those twin sensors can't quite topple Samsung as the king of smartphone cameras.

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 a top-end phone. It's bold, it's pricey and out to offer features the company couldn't even fit in the normal Huawei P9 , already an expensive device. A pressure-sensitive Press Touch screen is at the top of the list, along with an ultra-flashy metal finish.

Can Huawei take on the Galaxy S7 edge and iPhone 6S Plus? With the help of Leica it hopes the Huawei P9 Plus can do the job and here's our review of the 2016 flagship phone.

Review The P9 Plus deserves to be Huawei's real flagship of 2016, and given the price tag, it's a belter. Like the iPhone Plus, it feels like a very different beast to its smaller sibling.
