This week, the biggest news began with the cancellation of Intel processors for mobile, effectively announcing their withdrawal from the smartphone and mobile industry, at least for now. We might see some Intel 5G LTE processors in the future, but it basically means that there will likely be no Intel powered smartphones this year.

Second biggest was the regional announcement of the Huawei P9, P9 Plus and P9 Lite, due for a Malaysia release date after May 2016. The folks at honor celebrated their 2nd Anniversary to #seastheday while Huawei continued the streak by announcing the Huawei G9 Lite and MediaPad M2 7.0.

It's been a month now since the Huawei P9 and P9 Plus was unveiled to the world, the latest Huawei flagships are the results of the first collaboration between Huawei and the global iconic camera brand Leica back in February. Not only that, the P9 lite also made an appearance in Bali, Indonesia, however it lacks the dual rear Leica camera and is set as an affordable option for the series. The P9 series will be available in Malaysia after the end of May, but prices are yet to be announced and there are no plans for P9 Max for Southeast Asia.

In March, the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge became a hot gadget-to-have in Malaysia thanks to its many improvements, especially the Dual pixel camera technology. Recently Huawei's P9 and P9 Plus also arrived in Malaysia, this time with its Leica powered dual rear cameras. Yesterday, so did HTC's much-hyped HTC 10 which garnered enough positive impressions to make many think HTC is making a comeback. As usual, a comparison between the three beasts is inevitable. So which of these titans stands out the most? Read below to find out.

Huawei recently revealed the Huawei P9 and P9 Plus with their dual 12MP camera setup, featuring Leica-certified optics. However, Leica has always been better known as a high-end digital camera and interchangeable lens manufacturer, with next to no participation in phone cameras. So who actually made the dual camera system on the P9 and P9 Plus?

The introduction of the new Huawei P9 has taken the internet by storm, most notably the two rear Leica cameras with 12MP and f/2.2 aperture for each, it's designed to take colour images and the latter for monochrome photography. But how does it exactly work on the inside? This time, not by iFixit but IT168, a China-tech base site has shared their findings by tearing down the P9.

Huawei has finally unveiled the long rumoured Huawei P9 today at London, and it's not just that model alone but a P9 Plus as well which was previously rumoured to be the P9 Max. It's also confirmed that both devices have built-in Leica camera in them, this changes smartphone photography on a new level and could potentially challenge Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge's dual pixel camera technology. The P9 is priced at £449 (around RM2482) while the P9 Plus is £549 (around RM3035) and will be available on 16 April for 29 countries in Europe and the Middle East (first wave).
