Huawei have officially launched their Huawei VR headset for their Huawei P9, P9 Plus and Mate 8 smartphones. According to Huawei, theirs is the first to offer a 360-degree sound field. Tech specs and features include a touch panel, back button, volume keys, 20ms low latency, 95-degree field of view and adjustable lenses down to a power of -7.00.
This means you can't wear them with glasses but the VR will take care of that for you (thankfully, mine is still below -4.00 so I can definitely try this out). The Huawei VR will come out with a good deal of content but only a bit of it will be VR capable. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details but we expect it to make its way to Malaysia as a bundle deal with the Huawei P9.

It isn't a secret that Huawei and LEICA have made a partnership, the only question would be when or for which device. From this leaked image it looks like this could be the upcoming Huawei P9. Set for a 6 April 2016 announcement, this leaked image clearly shows the LEICA logo with a SUMMARIT and f/2.2 aperture and 27mm focal length on the strip where the camera is located, along with dual cameras, what appears to be dual laser autofocus sensors and a finger print sensor below it. But then again, these do not match with previous leaked images.
