visible luminance noise on outdoor shots has reduced the score
Huawei is not a company that wants to be
dual camera system is a strange one
the aperture mode
The background will blur to the intensity you desire regardless of the distance from the subject
camera did not struggle detecting various levels of fog and foreground
low light camera issues and the horrible Emotion User Interface
are not compatible with CDMA carriers such as Verizon and Sprint
lack some of the color found in the photos taken outside
no real issues apart from the odd stuttering
not include a US warranty as some manufacturers do not honor warranties for international items
the software optimizations and mediocre display hurt
The card can not be formatted to urn as internal memory
high tones compared to the low ones are particularly evident
lack of the Wi-Fi Dual Band
distortions and image quality loss
there will only be a P9 plus
it s just not as good as the standard Android experience
back isn t too slippery
EMUI also slows down updates to Android
this battery is not replaceable
glass front that is slightly rounded at the sides and corners
lack of quick charging
The shutter speed is too fast that you could frame
There is no app drawer and the icons are colorful
there is no quick launch apps using fingerprint sensor
gaze into the crystal ball of the future
A phone is not just a phone anymore
The processing power is not shabby either
it loses the dual SIM capability in exchange for NFC support

kenia_trantow
about 2 years ago
The first method to fix the Huawei P9 Bluetooth issues is to clear the Bluetooth data with the clear the cache guide. The cache allows for the temporary data to be stored for better help when switching between apps. This issue is most commonly found when you connect your Huawei P9 with the car Bluetooth devices.

Huawei P9 vs. P8 Mobile review: Good improvement for the latest device

With a DxOMark Mobile score of 80, the Huawei P9’s dual 12Mp RGB and monochrome sensors provide solid results. Our tests showed a nice improvement over its predecessor, the P8, which scored 74 overall, with the P9 offering improved autofocus and more consistent exposure and color results. The P9’s sub-scores of 84 points for photo and 72 for video demonstrate Huawei’s latest device is particularly strong for still photography.

Huawei P9 review: It's just not value-for-money

Text: Rajat Sharma, TOI Tech Despite having the veritable distinction of being the largest telecommunication equipment manufacturer in the world, Huawei's success in the Indian subcontinent can be considered only as nascent. While the Nexus 6P firmly established the fact that Huawei is very much capable of building best-in-class flagships, the success of the 'Honor' line-up has proved that the company can do equally well when it comes to affordable yet feature-packed phones. But Huawei is going all guns blazing with its newest launch in India, the P9. Unveiled at an event in New Delhi, the Huawei P9 has (almost) everything one would expect from a flagship-class droid. But what truly sets it apart is the dual-camera setup at the rear. Engineered in collaboration with German imaging pioneer Leica, the P9 has two 12MP sensors, with one being RGB and other monochrome. This all sounds very exciting, but what about the rest of the goodies expected of a flagship? How well-made is the device? How it performs in terms of day-to-day usage? And most importantly, is it a smartphone that's truly worthy of commanding a price tag Rs 39,999 ? We try to find the answers, in our comprehensive review of the Huawei P9.
