Huawei P9 Flagship Smartphone Confirmed to Sport Dual-Camera Setup

The Chinese company recently shared the first official teaser for its upcoming Huawei P9 smartphone, confirming the rumoured dual-camera setup. The teaser was shared by Zhu Ping, Huawei's President of Consumer Business Unit in China, on Weibo. In his post Ping said, "P9, mobile phone photography once again break! So cool."

Previously, Huawei teased the dual-camera setup in its invites for the launch event. The invite said "#OO Change The Way You See The World," hinting at the presence of the dual camera setup. It is worth mentioning that last year too, Huawei took similar approach as it launched the P8 smartphone in an event in London in mid-April.

The smartphone, as per the latest rumours and leaks, is said to arrive in four variants - the P9, P9 Lite, an enhanced version of P9, and P9 Max. Some of the rumoured details about the fourth variant include larger screen, more RAM, and more storage. The highlight feature of the fourth Huawei P9 variant is said to be the camera. It is rumoured to sport a dual lens with dual sensor configuration featuring 12-megapixel sensor. The camera on the fourth model is expected to feature additional camera tricks such as post-capture refocus, simulated aperture adjustment, and other filter options.

The dual-camera setup has been corroborated by the previously leaked images said to be showing the Huawei P9. The smartphone is said to take most of the design clues from its predecessor. At the back two cameras are visible on the top corner along with autofocus sensors and dual-LED flash.

Some of the rumoured details tipped include the company's native Kirin 950 processor under the hood; a 3GB of RAM; 32GB inbuilt storage; 12-megapixel rear camera with Leica lenses, and a 3900mAh battery.
