I once thought it was a good idea to put a 35mm focal length camera on a phone that can display in black and white only at a toggle, with collaboration with Olympus to develop the camera. Shows what I know...
Huawei's monochrome sensor developed by Leica is a way better idea. This is by far, the most desirable phone to be announced this year. I can't wait for the review.

    "The Huawei P9 and P9 Plus will launch on April 16, arriving first in the following markets. The P9 will cost £450 ($630/€555) and the P9 Plus £550 ($770/£680)."

    That's quite a lot of money for phone with questionable durability, poor after sales support and no software updates.

      Huawei Awakens :)

        Thanks as always for putting up an awesome article. Small detail on the first page - the specs. You've put Huawei P9 and Huawei P9 but obviously you meant to call one of them the P9 Plus! 😉

              That dual camera set up had better produce some incredible images - I don't see anything else in the specs department to make this phone stand out much.

              Watch out LG G5 - Huawei Five Oh is coming after you! ;)
