Huawei has finally launched its Huawei P9 and P9 Plus across the MENA region targeting photography lovers around the world and in the region.
The Huawei P9 is the first smartphone co-engineered with the global iconic brand, Leica Camera AG, a leading camera producer. The P9 also come with dual-lens camera which work in tandem to enable users to create images of superior detail, depth and color.
The P9 is a 5.2-inch 1080p display phone powered by the Kirin 955 2.5GHz 64-bit ARM-based processor and has a 3,000mAh high-density battery. The P9 Plus has a 5.5-inch Press Touch display and a larger 3,400mAh battery. The P9 Plus also offers dual-IC Rapid Charge, giving users six hours of talk time after a 10-minute charge.
According to Mr. Jiao Jian, President of Huawei Consumer Business Group in the Middle East, “Huawei is excited to give P9 users the best smartphone photography experience by leveraging the unrivalled capabilities of Leica, the leader in the world of imaging for more than 100 years.”
TechMoran will review a P9 soon and will take you through the phone’s RGB dual-camera design, the wide-aperture photography feature and its perfomance. We love that the phone’s biometric fingerprint scanner can also be used to move things on the screen apart from just security. It’s like having a mouse.
The Huawei P9 and P9 plus will be available starting today across the region including the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The phone will launch in Africa soon. See our earlier coverage here.
