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

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

There are a lot of reasons to like the P9 Plus since it shares similar features and tech-specs but bigger, performance is terrific, awesome camera features and picture quality, good Plus features especially the Sound Plus (for me).

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.

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.

Huawei's P9 Plus is yet another 5.5-inch smartphone, a previously niche category that's rapidly expanding in 2016 with the likes of the OnePlus 3 and Moto G4 handsets hitting UK shelves.

Great battery life; Sleek design; Capable cameras

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.
