After several leaks, Huawei has formally launched the P series devices – P9 and P9 Plus – in London. The new Huawei P9 and P9 Plus boast of a new dual-camera setup, which is Leica certified. Both the new devices have almost similar hardware and have taken design cues from the P8.
Though both the models have similar hardware, they have a different screen and battery capacity. Of course, that impacts the overall weight as well. Sporting an aluminium unibody design, both the handsets are powers by Huawei’s own Kirin 955 mobile chipset.
The highlight of these flagship models are the twin 12-megapixel cameras setup at the back with Leica certification. This setup has one 12-megapixel camera with a colour supporting sensor while the second is a 12-megapixel camera has a monochrome sensor. Together, both camera modules can collect three times the light of a single regular camera, and it also improves the contrast by 50 percent. Leica has tested and certified these camera modules (sensor and the lenses) for colour reproduction and accuracy. On the front is an 8-megapixel camera with Sony’s IMX179 sensor with F2.4 aperture.
