Huawei P9I P9 Plus Launch.

Technology keeps getting better and better each time, I mean every day there’s always an invention of some sort that leads to an “upgrade” of another. Well, this past Wednesday Huawei invited us to the launch of yet another invention a Huawei P9 and P9 Plus hosted by the ultimate funny yellow bones Donovan and Jason Goliath at the Sandton Convention Centre.

I must say everything went well with this launch however I could not stick around for the presentations mainly because of the flu, I was coughing and sneezing so I spent most time outside the auditorium instead. I think this is what Huawei wanted you all to know about their new P9I P9 Plus.

Huawei unveiled the the much anticipated P9, the world’s first co-engineered Leica dual-camera smartphone, to its South African consumers. The P9, created in partnership with Leica Camera AG, not only offers consumers industry-leading imaging innovation but comes in Huawei’s stylish signature design.

The P9 brings together best-in-class technologies. By integrating the design values and engineering excellence of Leica and Huawei, the two have transformed smartphone photography into an experience that enables users to capture the highest-quality pictures.

The P9’s ground-breaking dual-camera, subject to the industry’s most stringent quality screening requirements, specialises in capturing vivid colour and acquiring precision imagery through the camera’s monochrome capabilities. With the P9 dual-camera, users can become expert photographers and 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.

Furthermore, the P9 comes with the power and performance synonymous with Huawei. With a stunning 5.2-inch 1080p display, the P9 is powered by the new Kirin 955 2.5GHz 64-bit ARM-based processor for world-leading mobile performance. 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.

The P9 has a state-of-the-art industrial design. With the same minimalist design DNA as earlier products in Huawei’s acclaimed flagship P-series, the P9 was built to fit your hand. Each device is perfectly constructed from superior-grade glass, diamond-cut edges and an aluminum unibody with curves in all the right places.

South African consumers can look forward to the P9 in three remarkable colours: Haze Gold, Ceraminc White and Titanium Grey. Capturing brilliant images requires space and the P9 is available in two storage sizes, 32GB and 64GB, perfect for your storage needs. The P9 will be available at all local operator networks from today 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.
