Huawei P9 Goes On Sale in UK
LONDON, May 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Available to purchase from EE, O2, Three, Vodafone and Carphone Warehouse Â
Today, Huawei Consumer Business Group announces that the Huawei P9, co-engineered with
Leica Camera, is now on sale across all major UK channels, available to purchase from EE,
O2, Three, Vodafone and Carphone Warehouse, setting a new standard in smartphone
photography. Â

The Huawei P9 is the first smartphone co-engineered with the iconic global brand,
Leica Camera AG. The P9's dual-lens camera takes smartphone photography to the next level,
allowing people to capture both vivid colours and striking black and white images.
Reinventing smartphone photographyÂ
Key to the P9's superlative imaging capabilities is a dual lens camera design, which
has been subject to the industry's most stringent quality screening requirements. The RGB
camera on the P9 specialises in capturing colour, while the monochrome camera is
outstanding at acquiring picture detail.
The two rear cameras of the P9 work in tandem to enable users to create images of
superior detail, depth and colour. The P9 truly excels in low-light conditions, as the
dual-camera design guarantees that more light and detail can be captured. Â
Each picture taken by the P9 carries the unique emotional resonance and timelessness
that are the hallmarks of Leica, as users may choose between three film modes: Standard,
Vivid Colours and Smooth Colours, depending on their personal preferences. With meticulous
calibration of the P9's camera parameters, each film mode faithfully renders the authentic
colour and style of Leica. By selecting the monochrome mode, P9 users can shoot with their
devices as a true monochrome camera to capture powerful and evocative black and white
images of superior quality.
Deploying Huawei's Hybrid Focus technology, the P9 captures images with superior speed,
accuracy and stability. The P9 supports camera focusing based on three methodologies -
laser, depth calculation and contrast - and automatically selects the one that yields the
best result in any given environment. Â
The wide-aperture photography feature on the P9 allows users to experiment with
innovative visual effects to create unique images and content. The P9 makes it easy to
adjust the camera aperture to create bokeh and other depth-of-field effects, while keeping
the main object in sharp focus.
James Jie, Managing Director of UK&I, Huawei Consumer Business Group, comments: "This
is the first Huawei device to be ranged across all of the major UK sales channels and we
look forward to seeing great take up from consumers. With the P9, in collaboration with
Leica, we are looking to firmly establish the Huawei brand within the high-end, premium
sector in the UK. We have challenged the norm with this device, reinventing smartphone
photography, and we see it as the next step in a visual revolution, which we are sure our
customers will value."
Oliver Kaltner, CEO, Leica Camera AG, commented: "Leica and Huawei share an
uncompromising commitment to imaging excellence, and our partnership will put outstanding
photography into the hands of more consumers around the world. We are deepening our
collaboration to give users a more optimal smartphone photography experience."
Premium build and designÂ
The P9 is a masterpiece of state-of the-art industrial design, with the same
minimalist design DNA as earlier products in Huawei's acclaimed premium flagship P-series.
Each P9 device is a perfect construct of superior-grade 2.5D glass and an aerospace-class
aluminium, with diamond-cut edges rounded out by carefully balanced curvatures.
The P9 sets new industry standards in industrial design, with the use of techniques
including brushed hairlines and metal polishing at micron-level precision to create a
translucent metal surface.
Power and performanceÂ
The P9 is equipped with the power, connectivity and speed that today's high-end
smartphone user expects from Huawei. With a 5.2-inch 1080p display, the P9 is powered by
the new Kirin 955 2.5GHz 64-bit ARM-based processor for leading-class mobile performance.
The 3,000mAh high-density battery offers P9 users outstanding mobility and battery life.
The P9 also protects users' privacy with Huawei's world-leading biometric fingerprint
recognition technology. The enhanced fingerprint sensor allows users to personalise and
safeguard their devices by significantly lowering the possibility of fraudulent or
accidental device access, while also ensuring users can quickly and securely access their
smartphone.
