#FreshTech: Huawei P9 Smartphone launches in SA

The P9’s dual-camera, subject to the industry’s most stringent quality screening requirements, specialises in – according to Huawei – capturing vivid colour and acquiring precision imagery through the camera’s monochrome capabilities.

With the P9 dual-camera, according to the company, users can capture images with superior detail and depth. Need superb selfies? Say no more, the P9 has an 8MP front-facing camera that can turn you into a professional and keep you on top of your selfie game.

When taking a closer look at the device we found that the P9 comes with a 5.2-inch 1080p display, and is powered by the new Kirin 955 2.5GHz 64-bit ARM-based processor. The 3000mAh high-density battery offers P9 users outstanding mobility and greater battery life. In addition, the P9 boasts an enhanced fingerprint sensor which gives users added security and easy access to unlock your smartphone.

Dual lens camera co-engineered with Leica

The P9 has an industrial design. With the same minimalist design DNA as earlier products in Huawei’s P-series, the P9 has been built to fit comfortably in the users hand. Each device has been constructed from superior-grade glass, diamond-cut edges and an aluminum unibody with curves in all the right places.

The P9 will be available in the following colours: Haze Gold, Ceraminc White and Titanium Grey. The device comes in with either a capacity of 32GB or 64GB. The P9 will be available at all local South African operator networks both on contract and prepaid packages from a recommended retail price of R11,999 and from a recommended retail price of R13,499 for the P9 Plus.
