It no longer a secret that we now have dual rear camera smartphones right now — LG's G5 is one of them, also upcoming Apple's iPhone 7 is rumored to have such traits technology — and Huawei is not one to be left behind maybe Samsung also.
Both phones come equipped with dual, 12-megapixel Leica-branded cameras on the back, but Huawei is trying something different: One camera "specializes" in capturing color, while the other is best at taking monochrome photos. The result, according to Huawei, are photos that have vivid colors, as well as great depth and detail, even in low-light conditions.
Huawei P9 and P9 Plus both have dual, Leica Summarit camera lenses on the back. We've heard the spiel about amazing smartphone photos before, but Huawei has several tricks up its sleeve beyond the dual lenses and the Leica signature. The company claims it's the first to have incorporated a dedicated depth measurement chip into a smartphone, and it also touts its proprietary hybrid-focus technology. We'll know more about how all this works in practice when we test the new phones, but, for now, Huawei's approach sounds pretty fresh.
The P9, as one would expect, is the smaller of the two with a 5.2″ IPS LCD display with an FHD resolution. On the inside, the P9 is powered by Huawei’s Kirin 955 SoC sporting an octa core setup with 4x Cortex-A72 clocked at 2.5GHz and 4x Cortex-A53 clocked at 1.8GHz. The Huawei P9 has two variants, a trend that is becoming popular among Chinese manufacturers: the base variant with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, and the other variant with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage variant. You also get microSD card expansion thanks to a hybrid dual SIM slot, both have an 8-megapixel selfie camera on the front, but only the P9 Plus comes with autofocus. Finally, the battery on the P9 Plus is slightly bigger: 3,400mAh versus P9's 3,000mAh.
Both variants of Huawei, the price for the 3GB version of the P9 is €599 ($680), while the 4GB variant costs €649 ($736). The larger P9 Plus costs €749 ($850). I suppose the lowest price from them will be about N234,000 plus in Nigeria.
So are you going to get this latest flagship from Huawei?
