Huawei P9 - Design and finishing
The P9 features a sleek metal body nobody quite reminiscent of its predecessor, the P8. The latter was a terminal that highlighted a lot during 2015 for its elegance, and special attention was put on the finishing. The desire of the Chinese brand is reaffirmed by offering users a premium smartphone with good looks and technical specifications.
The body has rounded corners, and slight curvature shows the edges that bind to opaque frame around the device.
Like its predecessor has no start button on the front. This leaves a very wide lower frame only used for the name of the brand.
On the back are the main novelties of Q9: dual camera and fingerprint reader. Two camera lenses have a circular design surrounded by a Delano aluminum frame that just stands out. Along with the two lenses, we die another one under the LED flash and autofocus laser.
The fingerprint reader has a square design as the Honor 7. The rear panel, as in the P8, is I interrupted by a band at the top and a thin line at the bottom, where we also find the logo brand.
As for the physical keys, the P9 houses, along the right edge, volume control, followed by the power button (rough texture to be easily localizable). On the left are the SIM slot and microSD card. At the bottom, we find the USB port Type C and headphone minijack.
With its 145 x 70.9 x 6.95 mm and 114g, the P9 is light and easy to handle, and physical buttons are easily accessible with one hand without any problems.

During our brief test, the screen had high gloss and responded quickly to navigate through menus.

The colors are very vivid, but we will have to spend more time with it to see how it copes with direct sunlight.

At the moment, we can not speak of objective numbers until further analysis. P9 is not going to place first in the ranking, because the stakes are very high, but promises a great performance without sacrificing user experience.
Huawei P9 - House
The camera P9 is certainly the element that, in recent months, more has to speak. It has two objectives 12 MP with pixel dual technology and aperture of f / 2.2. Huawei has chosen Leica as his assistant for the realization the lens of the main chamber, detail showing the will of fabricated to offer higher picture quality to users. The P9 features an RGB sensor and one monochrome combined should provide greater brightness, better detail, and in overall, a better quality photos in low light.
Each of the sensors has six individual layers and provide pixel 28 larger than the P8, resulting in an increased amount of captured light and, therefore, in the best images.% Also provides a hybrid autofocus and new and faster IPS.
