As a person who has bought three phones in the past two months(don't ask), one of them being Samsung galaxy s7 edge and another being huawei p9, I have to say that I like p9 much more. S7 edge looks much better but that's basically only thing it it's better than p9 and also p9 isn't a bad looking phone.
Benchmarks I couldn't care less, they are both fast and daily tasks.
Camera I am surprised to say but something in my eyes is very off with the s7 camera. Everything just seem to lack detail if you crop in even a little bit. And don't get me even starting with the front facing camera which is one of the worst in s7 edge.
Well, eventually I went back to (huawei) Nexus 6p. Yeah on paper it's maybe the slowest of these all but in real life it just is the best one there is.

P9 User, 16 Jun 2016for those who hasn't used Chinese brand smartphone, please ... moreTrue. Haters could not accept the fact that It is not the same Huawei they've heard a long ago. Huawei is doing grear advancements and have a better plan for future. They are not fools to avoid higher graphics performance, they are smart to save some penny here.Just wait a few more years to appreciate their strategy. P9 is just gorgeous. Some who are dependent on benchmarks are either jealous or could not accept their position they are now. Benchmarks are just numbers and useless until the real performance is compared or matched.

why all the fuss about this phone. just enjoy every competition on this hardware stuff. I like it. more and more innovations are made. and yes there will be no dual camera on the iPhone 7 because 1 reason. ois will not be able to control them or in them. if iPhone 7 has a dual camera I better stay on 6s plus.

for those who hasn't used Chinese brand smartphone, please go get one and try it first. In these 2-3 years, they have improved a lot and a lot (no matter it's just a copy cat or whatever).
If you are those die-hard fans of Samsung or iPhone, this comment is not for you.

Huawei has already shipped 2.6 million P9 and P9 Plus units worldwide.
They can claim has already shipped 2.6 million worldwide, but we did not have any prove. Still not coming or will not coming to US.
It just war of claim with other cellphone makers.
For sure P9 and P9 Plus is good cell phone, but unfortunately without worldwide aggressive marketing strategy. Sell the cake immediately when it's hot.

I'll be buying a P9 Lite next week, I cannot wait to move away from Samsung S4mini with its issues. Huwaei has done good for itself, it's highly accepted in South Africa ;-)..it's no longer that "no quality" Chinese brand but it's on another level now.

And to the h... moreThe difference between flagship phones nowadays is very marginal because they are all very good. As a previous owner of a Ascend Mate 7, I can confirm that Huawei makes very good phones and I think the P9 plus is an excellent proof of that. However, when you want to choose a phone, it takes a lot of research and it all boils down to your personal preferences. For example how important is it to you that your phone gets regular updates. For example, the firmware update on my Mate 7 took very very long but I think that Huawei has improved on that hopefully by now with the speed they advance in the mobile phone market. As for the cameras, I disagree to condemn the cameras of the S7 edge and the iphone 6s as bad outright in comparison with the p9 plus. Also here the difference is marginal but I think that the Galaxy S7 edge still has the upper hand over the Leica of the P9 plus. Don't get me wrong. They are both very good cameras.

And to the haters, lemme guess: you bought either an iPhone 6S or a Galaxy S7. Both phones have a much worse camera. You're probably just jealous because your phone is not a reference phone for GSMArena to compare pictures (monochrome mode).
As for the Kirin 950 chip, I don't see much of a problem. Benchmark shows that it could still keep up with modern day tasks.
Except for the lack of IP rating, this phone is seriously a better package than S7 and iPhone for the price. It's only $500. And biggest thing yet? You can root, install custom ROM.

Novage, 16 Jun 2016Lol. Gflop means nothing, the T880mp4 destroy the Adreno 330 Benchmarks say otherwise. They're about the same, on half of them adreno 330 is higher.

AnonD-510098, 16 Jun 2016Kirin is a fxcking beast!No it isn't, not the GPU anyway.
https://gfxbench.com/compare.jsp?benchmark=gfx40&did1=32229286&os1=Android&api1=gl&hwtype1=GPU&hwname1=ARM+Mali-T880&D2=Samsung+Galaxy+S5+%28Adreno+330%2C+SM-G900H%29
Compared with the adreno 330 GPU in the snapdragon 801 from over two years ago. Manhattan is 12.8 vs 10.3. TRex is 24.8 vs 26.9. Compared to modern gpu its about three times worse.
