Huawei P9 is a 5.2-inch smartphone that was unveiled in April 2016 together with the larger P9 Plus model.


What are the differences compared to its predecessor P8? One of the main differences is the camera optics. Huawei has partnered with the well-renowned camera manufacturer Leica to improve the camera performance based on Leica's Summarit lens design. P9 sports two dual rear cameras that increase light sensitivity and improves contrast by up til 50% by employing a monochrome camera sensor that lacks RGB filter. The front camera has a resolution of 8 MP, which means that your selfies will look bright and crisp under a wide range of light conditions.


The Kirin 955 processor with 8 cores and 3 GB RAM memory ensures that the phone handles a great variety of processing tasks with impressive speeds. The phone has 32 GB storage.


Huawei P9 is one of the first phones to run Android 6.0 Marshmallows. The UI is customised by Huawei and is called EMUI. The phone is available in six different colours: haze gold, mystic silver, titanium grey, prestige gold, rose gold and ceramic white.


The battery can be recharged quickly and has a capacity of 3,000 mAh.


What about the weight with such sophisticated camera optics, fast processor and high battery capacity? This phone is remarkably light given its advanced specs and weighs only 144 gram.


Do you like the P9, but don't want to spend $700 on a phone? Then the budget version Huawei P9 Lite might be worth having a look at. It retails for less than half the price of P9.

Huawei P9 review: Another solid Android choice for some

It used to be we'd have clear winners and losers in the smartphone battles of old. For the most part, the big time players dominated the landscape and up-and-comers were barely noticed. That's all changed over the past year or two, and more smartphone makers are making quality devices.
Pros:
  • Really nice design keeps up with mid-tier standards
  • great cameras
Cons:
  • Huawei skin isn't for everyone
  • will need custom launcher
  • design isn't ground breaking and weak speaker

Selling a new phone by focusing on the camera is not a new thing and we've been impressed when it's happened in the past: Nokia's Lumias did some great things (which masked Windows Phone's deficiencies) while Apple's 6S Plus impressed with its Dynamic Range and low light performance.
Pros:
  • Stunning pictures of nearby subjects
  • Great value
  • Fun to use
  • Fast fingerprint reader
Cons:
  • Battery-life
  • Australian price hike

Huawei has officially been selling its smartphones in India for over two years now, under the brand name Honor. The Honor phones are meant for budget conscious buyers and barring the Rs 20,000 plus Honor 7, most of the other Honor devices have traditionally seen very competitive price points.

The Huawei P8 was a bold move from the company to follow up the Ascend P7 smartphone. There isn't much to talk about the Ascend P7 but the P8 was an entirely different story. It offered one of the most fluid performances of any Android smartphone at the time and the features too were flagship...

Huawei P9

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 ),...
Pros:
  • Smart and stylish
  • Excellent camera functionality
  • Not the most expensive flagship
  • Great fingerprint reader
Cons:
  • Processing strength behind the rest
  • Battery life not great

Do you know about the Nexus 6P? The 5.7 inch Nexus phone that was released last year by Google. The phone was manufactured by Huawei and it is one of the best Nexus phones we have even seen. Not only is the design beautiful, but the whole body and other features of the phone are great.
