| | | Huawei P9 review: For the shutterbugs | | Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei has just launched its flagship smartphone – the P9, in India. Although the P9 has almost everything one would expect from a flagship-class Android device, its USP is undoubtedly its dual-camera setup. The P9’s dual cameras (each 12MP) have been engineered in collaboration with German imaging pioneer Leica. While one of the cameras shoots regular colour photos, the other outs monochrome shots. Priced at Rs 39,999, the Huawei P9 is powered by the company’s own Kirin 955 chipset, coupled with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Running Android 6.0 Marshmallow with Emotion UI 4.1, it has a 3,000mAh battery. That all sounds good on paper, but does it translate to a well-rounded device in the real world? We review the Huawei P9 in detail to find out. |
