Have any one tested P9 dual camera by blocking one lens to see what happens?
If you block Monochrome lens only RGB should take picture and vise-versa?
Appreciate your test result. Thank you.

Sure they can do cheap but they can also do high end and do it better than Sony. Specs by Huawei & Leica, manufactured by Sunny is anything but cheap.

                  Leica design the camera setup, SONY make the sensor and Sunny assemble the module (camera setup) for mass production. That is how things work today now you get it!

                      GSM,
                      You stated that the P9 Canberra are b made by Sony yet this article says now it is made by sunny???

                      If it's the latter then this is a cheap solution for huawei. Given the unknown I doubt whether I trust huawei anymore.

                          This was a licensing deal straight up. Huawei gave Leica a big stack of money in exchange to use their name on this phone and for related marketing materials. Of course Leica would have demands from their side to make sure their name wasn't being put on crap so Huawei must have met their standards.

                          You will see no mention of the P9 or Huawei on Leica's website, not even in the Press Releases which again suggests this was a licensing deal and not a co-opreration or partnership of any kind.

                              I though it was Atlantis which have the most advanced ancient technology. At least if you believe on Plato (otherwise he was a joker even to you). Did you now where is Atlantis? I know.

                              I would be convinced if Leica brought by Samsung, Apple or Sony.. well though I need to save some money to buy them lol.

                                  Leica Has a very rigorous quality control , they don´t entrust their name to just anybody.
                                  Plus the lenses are checked by Leica quality control , that means the bad lenses go to the grinder and get destroyed . What is more important is that the Glass Block the lenses are made from come from Leica and each one of these Glass Block is worth its weight in Gold.
