If your smartphone camera isn't cutting it, Huawei might have just the thing.
The Chinese smartphone maker on Wednesday unveiled the P9, created in collaboration with camera brand Leica. The P9 sports a 12-megapixel dual-lens camera that "takes smartphone photography to the next level, allowing people to capture both vivid colors and striking black and white images," Huawei wrote in its announcement. On the front, it boasts an 8-megapixel shooter for selfies and video chats.
The dual-lens camera features a burst mode that shoots up to 16 frames per second — perfect for action shots. Huawei also emphasized that the P9 "excels" in low-light conditions thanks to its dual-camera design, which allows more light and detail to be captured compared to other smartphones.
As for aesthetics, the P9 sports an aluminum frame with rounded edges and comes in six different colors: ceramic white, titanium gray, mystic silver, haze gold, prestige gold, and rose gold.
Besides its standout camera technology, the P9 runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow, is powered by the new Kirin 955 2.5GHz 64-bit ARM-based processor, and features a 5.2-inch 1080p display as well as a big 3,000mAh battery.
For those who prefer something a little beefier, Huawei also unveiled the P9 Plus, featuring a 5.5-inch display and a larger 3,400mAh battery.
The P9 comes in 32GB and 64GB flavors for 599 or 649 euros, respectively, while the P9 Plus is only available with 64GB of storage for 749 euros. The handset will go on sale in 29 countries on April 16, and while the U.S. is not on the list of launch markets, Android Authority reports that the phone will indeed arrive here later this year. The full list of launch markets is below.
"Consumers around the world use their smartphones to take billions of pictures each year, making photography critical to user experience," Huawei Consumer Business Group CEO Richard Yu said in a statement. "P9 users can now capture images with unmatched clarity, richness and authenticity, with a masterfully designed and powerful smartphone that looks and feels incredible."
