Huawei P9 – next high-end Chinese smartphone for 2016

After the success of Huawei P8 – one of the top flagships of 2015 – Huawei was rumored to be working on the next generation Huawei P9. And according to the famous Chinese website Mobile Dad, Huawei is hinting a launch of the P9 in Q1 2016, specifically March – making it almost a year after the Huawei P8 release. This timing is good enough for customers to experience the old version and start looking for updates to a new one.

From what we know about Huawei P9 specs for now, the smartphone will sport a 5.2 inch display, same size with its predecessor Huawei P8, and probably offering a “curved design”. Though there is no further clarification, we are guessing it means a curved display like that of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. Also, as a higher end mobile device, Huawei P9 will run on the company’s Kirin 950 and paired with a powerful 4GB RAM.

One special Huawei P9 feature to be looking for is its camera module. It is said to offer an advanced dual rear camera with laser auto focus. Though Huawei did not reveal the sensor, this must imply high resolution cameras of at least 16MP or even more. Seems like the machine will also go with a fingerprint scanner.

Huawei P9 – launching early 2016

Together with the Huawei P9, Huawei will likely launch the P9 Max version with a 6.2 inch display. The P9 release is set to be in March 2016, while the P9 Max will be some months later, as the norm we know of nowadays smartphones.
