News & Reviews:   huawei p9 Malaysia launch

Just a few hours ago, Oppomart.com released some details about the Huawei P9. And that's not all, the P9 is the middle child between the P9 Lite and P9 Max, meaning that there are three variants and possibly based on their internal storage capacity and RAM power. Below are the details we got from Oppomart.com, but do take them with a grain of salt:-

Time seems to go slower whenever we are eager to wait for an anticipating news, especially waiting for Huawei on their 6 April event that could be related to Leica's camera technology being featured on the device. In this news, someone has taken some leaked shots of the supposedly Huawei P9 and it really looks real. 

Remember that at the end of February, Huawei and Leica announced their strategic long-term partnership to reinvent smartphone photography? Well, it seems that the Leica camera technology is coming sooner than expected because some Huawei executives have started teasing us that the upcoming Huawei P9 will come together with Leica camera setup. 

Huawei seems to be working hard this year, as just yesterday they have unveiled the latest Huawei Mate 8 model in Malaysia, along with the MediaPad M2 10.0, two new Huawei Watch Elegant and Jewel variants for the ladies, and a Nexus 6P Gold Edition giving us a 'New Style' and a 'New Choice' in the current market. And they're not slowing down just yet, because Huawei still has the P9 model up their sleeves and it seems they have a release date saved on 6 April in London. 

Last week, Huawei allegedly released a teaser poster of an event in Berlin on 9 March and many suspected the company might reveal the Huawei P9, but turns out that's not the case when it was reported Huawei themselves confirmed there's no P9 on that day, but acknowledged the device's existence

Huawei recently announced their MateBook hybrid 2-in-1 tablet at MWC but didn't really detail anything on their upcoming Huawei P9 flagship smartphone. Looks like we may see it sooner than you think as a teaser image of an invite for a Huawei event has appeared. While we're not sure what beer has to do with it, the P9 has been making the rounds in the rumour mill recently with leaks revealing tech specs like a dual rear camera estimated to be 12MP camera sensors much like the one in the Huawei Nexus 6P but perhaps with different lens like on the LG G5.

No other tech specs or features were revealed but we expect it to have the Kirin 950 (or 955) processor, 4GB / 6GB of RAM, 32GB storage and possibly a USB Type-C port. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet, but it is expected to come with the Huawei P9 Lite, Huawei P9 Enhanced Edition and Huawei P9 Max. Stay tuned for more details and as always with such rumours do take this with a pinch of salt.

It's hardly the first time that a leaked image of Huawei P9 appeared on the internet, however, this time from Venture Beat the device is completely uncovered and it really look like the real thing. 

Comparing it with the P8, the design is quite similar as both devices are kind of flat and rectangular but with slight rounded edges. Shiny diamond-cut chamders are also present in the leaked image outside of the front panel, and a dual camera and lens on the rear side along with a fingerprint sensor.

Just yesterday, Huawei released a teaser image of an unknown device that uses a stylus some say it's a hybrid laptop for the upcoming MWC 2016. This time, we got some leaked images possibly a new Huawei P9 render.

According to Venture Beat, reports are claiming that Huawei has plans for the upcoming P9 smartphone to be released in four variants – the normal P9 type, a P9 lite, a P9max, and another unknown advanced P9 in the making.

The fourth unknown advanced Huawei P9 could be a “feature-enhanced” model, equipped with a larger screen display but slightly smaller than the P9max. What's more, the enhanced P9 edition could also have better RAM and more storage space, and a rumoured dual-lens 12MP rear camera. Besides that, the normal P9 is expected to carrying a 5.2-inch display and we can bet the P9max should be over 6-inch just like the P8max.

An unidentified Huawei smartphone was spotted in GeekBench database and according to the leaked scores, it managed to score 1913 (single-core) and a multi-score of 6870. Both of these scores are higher than the Huawei Mate 8, which scored 1700 and 6200. Could this be a new smartphone or the upcomingHuawei P9?

In addition, it was reported that the new device is featuring the latest Kirin 950 processor, 4GB RAM, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow. However, the score could also mean that Huawei has found a way to push the Kirin 950 processor to another level that we might not know yet.
