Remember the “leak” about the upcoming Huawei P9 having four different variants, one of which is supposed to be a “feature-enhanced” version with a dual 12-megapixel camera setup? Well, if these recent rendered images hold any credibility, it looks like the rumours are true.
From the rendered images, it the most eye-catching feature is obviously the dual camera with the centre flash module and what could be a laser-autofocus unit located right at the top of the smartphone — all of which is housed within a visor that is more obvious on the black, pink and gold models than the silver one.
Also present on the back is Huawei‘s fingerprint sensor, which should be pretty snappy, located just below the camera module. The renders make it seem that the upcoming smartphone’s metal back plate has an interesting brushed texture to it, but that could also be due to poor image quality.
One interesting thing to note is that Huawei seems to be doing away with the P8‘s Xperia-esque square design, opting instead for a softer edged curve. Very Samsung/Apple-y in fact. Around the front of the device, there aren’t that many significant features besides what looks like a front-facing LED flash.
These images come courtesy of a popular Weibo user, and when asked if these images were accurately representing the actual device, someone who has seen the device affirms it. However, a person with knowledge of the design notes that while the images were representative of the flagship device overall, its aspect ratio is slightly off. The source says that the actual device is slimmer and taller than the squat render seems to suggest.
Spec-wise, the P9 is said to feature a homegrown Kirin 955 processor paired with 4GB of RAM powering a 5.2-inch full-HD display. Keeping the lights on is an average sized 2,900 mAh battery. It is worth noting that based on our previous report, the rumours say that this device will not be launched during the Mobile World Congress 2016 in Barcelona. Instead, Huawei will be focusing on their upcoming 2-in-1 device — the MateBook — instead.
What do you think of the P9?
