The Huawei P9 is an Android smartphone produced by Huawei, released in 2016. It is the successor to the Huawei P8 and maintains almost the same design but has a dual camera setup in the back co-engineered with Leica along with a fingerprint sensor. The Huawei P9 has a 5.2-inch Full HD IPS-NEO LCD display and runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS.

Release

The P9 was released in April 2016 in London [2] and in August 2016 in India. [3]

New features

The P9 added a fingerprint sensor, and was the first Huawei smartphone with a camera co-engineered with Leica under a partnership announced in February 2016. [4] The camera system integrates images from dual rear camera sensors, one monochrome, the other three-colour, which makes possible greater contrast, better low-light images, and shallow depth of field effects, and also refocusing after image capture. [1] [2] Storing two versions of images increases memory use, so there is also a microSD slot to increase storage capacity. [2] Huawei P9 Plus became the second smartphone with a pressure-sensitive screen. [5]

Variants

The Huawei P9 Plus, released in May 2016, has 4 GB RAM, and storage of 64 GB. [6]

The Huawei P9 Lite, released in May 2016 and also marketed as the Honor 8 Smart, has 2/3 GB RAM and storage of 16 GB. [7]

Reception

It was globally well received. Some regarded the P9 as a copy of the design of the iPhone 6, since it also uses pentalobe screws. [8] [9] [10]
