Huawei P9 Single Sim 32GB
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: the pocket DSLR camera
The Huawei P9 is a great smartphone for photography buffs, with image post-processing being some of the best you'll find in any phone. Improvements are needed in the power-saving department but, since I have had good experiences with Huawei devices in terms of software optimization, I don't see this...
Pros:
- Quality Leica photos in RAW format
- Outstanding reception performance
- Long battery life
Cons:
- Aggressive automatic power saving restricts usability
- Distorted images

Huawei P9 review: aiming for the big boys but just missing on software
The build, the feel, the camera and fingerprint sensor are all top-notch on the Huawei P9. It is the best smartphone the Chinese manufacturer has made, and is so close to competitors Samsung and Apple. The one thing that lets it down is the software.
Pros:
- excellent camera
- brilliant fingerprint scanner
- good screen
- great build and feel
- microSD card support
- USB-C
- good battery stats
- decent battery life
Cons:
- EMUI not quite up to scratch
- fixed-focus selfie camera
- no quick charging
- no removable battery
- screen not good for VR (low res

Huawei P9 review
When comparing the P9 to other flagships, it’s important to remember the £449 price which makes it considerably cheaper than many of its rivals (but not the identically priced Nexus 6P that's also made by Huawei). Overall, we're impressed with the phone: it's well built, feels good and looks good. The cameras aren't the absolute best out there, it doesn't top the charts in game tests and the screen isn't Quad HD, but these minor quibbles are outweighed not only by the price but also because, unlike the Nexus, the P9 lets you stick in a microSD card to expand the storage. If you can afford it, the Galaxy S7 is a better phone overall, but this is a great choice if you can't.

Huawei P9 review: Smart camera has it snapping at the heels of the flagship titans
Huawei's latest top-of-the-range handset, the 5.2-inch P9 , certainly looks like a premium smartphone should -- all aluminium, glass and soft curves. But it's also a little safe, lacking the futurist stylings of Samsung's Galaxy S7 Edge , for example.
Pros:
- Dual-lens (RGB
- B&W) camera system
- Excellent fingerprint scanner
- Good battery life
Cons:
- Emotion UI overlay may not appeal
- Uninspired design
- Moderate screen resolution
- Lacks wireless and fast charging

Huawei P9 Smart Phone Camera Review
Huawei's smartphones seem to be getting better with every model they release and the P9 is no exception. For a relatively new smartphone, the sim-free price is reasonable, although some might argue that the 'premium' devices offered by Apple and Samsung are still superior and as such, the price...
Pros:
- Pleasing image quality
- Simple to use
- Great screen
- Fun features
- Great photo editor
- Slow Motion Capture
- Aperture adjustments in real time
- Adjust focus after taking a shot
- High quality black and white photos
Cons:
- Can struggle with scenes with a high dynamic range and at night
- Video can be over saturated
- Doesn't record 4K video

Huawei P9 review: good design outshines dual cameras
I finished writing my review of the Huawei P9 on Friday. Today's Tuesday, I have a Galaxy S7 and two iPhones in my immediate vicinity, and I'm still using the Huawei P9.
Pros:

- Perfect dimensions for single-handed use
- Super fast fingerprint sensor
- Information-dense notifications
Cons:
- Not the best battery life or performance from an Android flagship
- Display and camera are just fine
- not outstanding
- Fans of stock Android should look elsewhere

Huawei P9 review: The flagship and the folly
Huawei has been chipping away at the flagship smartphone block for years now, gradually adding appeal to its seemingly desired western audience with each iteration. But while last year's P8 lost its way with sloppy software and knuckle-based nonsense, this year's P9 - which mimics the same handset...
Pros:
- Best fingerprint scanner on the market
- slender design
- dual camera solution is fun
- microSD card expansion
- ample power for all tasks
Cons:
- Some questionable software points
- battery life not standout (as 3,000mAh would suggest)
- camera software (defocus) glitchy
