The phone is focusing on the camera through a partnership with the German Leica, one of the historical brands of professional photography. The models are two: P9, and P9 Plus, the first display has 5.2-inch (ppi and 423), the second from 5.5 (and 401 ppi). The screen very optimizes the margins that therefore are not very bulky. Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s consumer electronics division, has stressed that advantage over the iPhone in one of the many comparisons made with Apple on stage (not mentioned, but still above, Samsung just to leave no doubt about Chinese ambitions until a few years ago to grind billion only on mobile networks).

What you’ll notice are the two cameras of 12 megapixels each. The first captures the colors and the second, black and white, captures all the details of the image. They work together to allow users to create picture with details, depth and color improvement.

It allows you to make better brightness, detail and allows a blurred effect on the typical details of the SLR, with the differences of the case. There’s also playing the typical Leica noise to the shutter, filters and various options for working on your photos. You can choose the single chamber and only make shots in black and white.
