Huawei P9 and P9 Plus launch as it happened

Still set on conquering thesmartphonemarket, Huawei has launched a new flagship phone for 2016 to take on theGalaxy S7,LG G5and eventually theiPhone 7. We were at the launch and you can re-live it by reading our blog below but you can also get all the details aboutHuawei’s P9 including including release date, price and specs.

Most of theHuaweiP flagship phones have been launched in London and new phone is no different with a launch event taking place in Battersea Park – in the same venue which LG used for the G3.

Ahead of the P9’s introduction there was a lot of leaked and teased information about it, with the main rumour being a dual-camera set up which Huawei alluded to by sending out invitation for the event on two rolls of film with the hashtag #oo (above).

And so it turned out that the P9 does have an unusual dual-camera setup, designed in co-operation with renowned specialist Leica. We’re keen to see how well the camera performs and we’ll have a full review of the P9 and Plus very soon.

For now, you can find out more about theHuawei P9, P9 Plus and TalkBand 3following the live launch event.
