The data on the Huawei P9 There are not many at the moment, something that is certainly surprising since the results obtained by the model that it will replace in the market have been very good (we are referring to the Huawei P8). The fact is that the model that the device that will arrive in 2016 is very important, since the Chinese manufacturer's plans are very ambitious for next year.

In this way, both the Mate 8 and the Huawei P9 have a capital importance for the company. On the one hand, so that it increases the already good sales achieved in 2015 -and the distances with companies such as Apple or Samsung- and, on the other, so that the presence in the high-end of the manufacturer's product is much better both in quality and power.

The fact is that it has been known that the Huawei P9 is expected to be presented at the March 2016, so his arrival is ruled out (at least for the moment) for the Mobile World Congress, where it seems that the Galaxy S7 it will be the center of the spotlight for another year. This knocks down some rumors that pointed to a presentation of this device before the end of this year, which I personally thought was highly unlikely once the device was known. Mate 8.

What to expect from the Huawei P9

Apart from maintaining Premium manufacturing materials, such as the aluminum of the case and surely a greater use of sapphire to provide resistance -and some curvature in its lines-, the Huawei P9 points out that it will have a screen of 5,2 inches, which remains to be seen if this is the first from the Chinese company that has a QHD resolution (everything points to it).

As far as processor and RAM are concerned, everything seems to be quite clear: the first will be a Kirin 950 of its own manufacture that has obtained such good results in the performance tests and, the memory, will reach the 4 GB. High end, without a doubt. Some additional interesting details of the Huawei P9 are that it will obviously have a fingerprint reader on its back and it is believed that it will have assist with laser focus (here the collaboration with Google and its Nexus 6P).

Huawei Kirin Processor

The price will be decisive to know the effect that the Huawei P9 will finally have on the market, since a policy is to be expected similar to 2015, where you always try to be one step below companies like Samsung or Sony in this section. Besides, it seems certain that the Mini and Max variants of this model will be launched throughout 2016.
