At its event in London on Wednesday, Huawei launched its long-anticipated P9 smartphone, alongside the P9 Plus. Both smartphones feature a dual-rear camera setup made in collaboration with legendary camera maker Leica.
Called a 'dual-lens camera' by the company, the camera setup of the Huawei P9 and Huawei P9 Plus features two 12-megapixel sensors, with one capturing light in colour, and the other in monochrome. Together, combined with contrast, depth, and laser autofocus systems, the two cameras should provide sharp, detailed shots in both good light and low light conditions. The dual lenses sport an f/2.2 aperture. Both sport 8-megapixel front-facing cameras.
There are few differences between the two smartphones, namely battery, display size and type, as well as inbuilt storage and memory. While the Huawei P9 sports a 5.2-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixel) IPS LCD display, the Huawei P9 Plus sports a 5.5-inch full-HD Super Amoled display and also incorporates Press Touch pressure-sensitive technology. The P9 will be available in both 3GB RAM/ 32GB inbuilt storage and 4GB RAM/ 64GB storage variants, while the P9 Plus will only be available in the latter configuration. The P9 sports a 3000mAh battery, while the P9 Plus sports a 3400mAh battery.
As for the common specifications of the Huawei P9 and Huawei P9 Plus: Android 6.0 Marshmallow with EMUI 4.1 on top; HiSilicon Kirin 955 SoC (4 Cortex-A72 cores at 2.5GHz, 4 Cortex-A53 cores at 1.8GHz); storage expansion via microSD card (up to 128GB), 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth v4.1, Infrared, and USB Type-C connectivity support.
