Review of Huawei P9 Android Smart Phone.

After making together with Google the Nexus 6P, Huawei seems ready to stop copying elements from other manufacturers and achieve a strong smartphone, as evidenced by the Huawei P9 .

The Huawei P9 is the first smartphone whose camera was developed in conjunction with the legendary house of photography Leica, resulting in a dual camera of 12 MP that takes excellent photographs, rivaling the best smartphones of the segment with a somewhat lower price.

With the Huawei P9, Huawei seems to have found the perfect balance between screen size and overall size. Thanks to a 5.2-inch screen, the size of the Huawei P9 seems perfect to handle it comfortably, or keep it in a pocket without looking like we carry a book inside the pants.

The version of the Huawei P9 that we tested has a 5.2-inch 1080p screen, Kirin 955 octa-core processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, dual 12 MP camera, 8 MP front camera, 3000 mAh battery and runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow with the EMUI 4.1 user interface.

Design and quality of the Huawei P9:

The Huawei P9 is manufactured in a matt gray metallic unibody chassis that is really attractive both to the eye and to the touch, of only 6.95mm profile, one of the thinnest. Its edges are slightly chamfered to improve ergonomics, and the glass panel that covers the screen is rounded, hiding the edges and only showing the Huawei brand on the bottom and just a small speaker and the camera on top.

On the back, a black glass strip covers the two camera lenses of the Huawei P9, along with a dual LED flash and place for the Leica brand. Already in the chassis, the fingerprint reader is located just below the camera, in a very comfortable position, although we prefer the reader on the front. A single antenna band on the underside cuts with the perfection of the Huawei P9 chassis on the back. An important detail: the camera lenses of the Huawei P9 are perfectly aligned with the chassis without protruding, something that very few manufacturers have achieved even with a single camera lens.

Underneath, the USB-C port is escorted by the headphone jack and a small but powerful speaker, but its alignment is far from perfect and seems to be finished to the troubles.

To the right of the Huawei P9, the volume control protrudes and its power button is more achieved, with roughness and a comfortable position, and slightly pushed inwards – although with the fingerprint reader, each time it becomes less used. On the left, the bay that serves to house the SIM and the microSD card is barely recognized.
