Abstract: The mobile landscape has shifted dramatically over the past few years. Companies that once reigned supreme are now struggling to stay afloat, while newcomers have arrived at the table and quickly made their way to the top. Among these newcomers are Chines...
The biggest problem with the Huawei P9 is the huge fanfare that was made about the partnership with Leica. The resulting camera(s) is very good, and produces some great quality, detailed shots, but a “DSLR in your pocket” this really is not. If you're a...
Excellent CPU performance, great at multitasking, all-day battery life, very fun dual-camera system, clear calls, lots of color options, swiping down on the fingerprint sensor pulls down the notification center, runs cool and rarely overheats
GPU performance lags behind competition, display isn't great for use with VR headsets, can get scratched and dented easily, not water-resistant, no wireless charging, Prev2 of 2Next
The song remains the same for Huawei with the P9. This is a really great phone, and for the everyday user, it's also one of the speediest and most powerful. But, this is priced like something more than an everyday phone, and for that reason, the GPU and d...
Dual rear camera is very creative, Credible build, Solid battery, Intuitive Emotion UI
Poor GPU performance, Display lacks contrast, Confusing camera software, No 4K video recording, while Full HD video lacks quality
Huawei has been trying to shed its reputation for low-end and mid-range handsets, and the P9 represents a step in the right direction with its technological innovations, features, and above-average realization. The draw is undoubtedly the exceptionally...

Abstract: Brace yourselves: Huawei is breaking out of China and looking to take on the might of Apple, Samsung, HTC, LG and anyone else, with the P9 – its most elegant flagship phone yet. It's partnered with famed camera maker Leica on a supercharged, dual-lens cam...
Subpar battery life, Ho-hum specs compared with similarly priced phones, Slick edges make the phone hard to grip
There's a lot to like about the Huawei P9, particularly if you focus on its outstanding camera. The Leica-engineered two-camera setup delivers crisp, detailed shots along with several modes that should please more demanding photographers. The trouble is...
True premium design, Perfect dimensions for single-handed use, Super fast fingerprint sensor, Information-dense notifications
Not the best battery life or performance from an Android flagship, Display and camera are just fine, not outstanding, Fans of stock Android should look elsewhere
More times than not, the Verge score is based on the average of the subscores below. However, since this is a non-weighted average, we reserve the right to tweak the overall score if we feel it doesn't reflect our overall assessment and price of the produ...
Excellent build quality throughout, with a decent enough design for the average user, One of the best fingerprint scanners on the market, Excellent camera that offers a little prestige through the Leica name, Flush camera module, Delivers great resu
Will remind some of a certain iDevice on shelves, Why do Huawei keep shipping Emotion UI on their devices?, Software lets the overall experience down massively
For those that want to purchase an unlocked smartphone with some of the best hardware and specs in Europe without breaking the bank, Huawei has one hell of an option for you. The Leica cameras, whether or not actually engineered by Leica, are some of th...

fast SoC, expandable storage, wide frequency configuration, good cameras, call quality, headset included, Quick Charge, USB Type-C, decent battery life
no App2SD, LTE Cat. 6 only, no radio receiver, no infrared, no MHL or SlimPort, USB 2.0 only, DNGs cannot be stored on the micro-SD, SoC throttles under permanent load
The Chinese company continues the success story of its P series with the Huawei P9, and consistently develops its flagship further. Once again, the great IPS panel, good performance, photo quality of the Leica dual-camera, the strong battery life and gene...
