My P9 Plus still has better camera performance than my Huawei Nova 9 SE and Samsung A55. The only reason I have to buy other phones is due to the lack of upgrades and battery life.

The phone that started the Leica collaboration

To Marshall: It's not upgradeable officially as far as I know but there may be a mod for it. I don't currently have a link. Just use a search engine like Yahoo or Google to find it.
