Available in Haze Gold and Quartz Grey, what separates the P9 Plus from both the P9 and P9 Lite is that it has an enhanced ‘Press Touch’ technology (like the Apple's 3D Touch feature) that recognizes subtler variations in screen pressure, making the P9 Plus more interactive and responsive. The ‘Press Touch’ technology also allows users to preview images, magnify details and access applications via the pop up shortcut menu for fast and easy use.

In addition, the device also comes with an infrared blaster and supports itself with a 3400 mAh battery, giving users a longer battery life up to one-and-a-half days with normal usage.
