Huawei P9 review: Ascension

15 April, 2016
Huawei pulled the wraps on its next flagship in London in early April. But do you know what's better than London? Shooting London with the Huawei P9. The city looks magical throughout the P9's Leica lens and the phone feel fabulous throughout your eyes. Yes, the Huawei P9 has a lot going on and all of it seems promising.

Unlike beachletter, you believed straight away what the gsmarena reviews and benchmark scores tell you while beachletter searches for many infos and reviews in the internet about the performance of p9.

    AnonD-100398, 23 Apr 2016Wow Thats good! Me saying anything is useless! and whatever... moreWhat I say maybe useless too just like all your claims, but what beachletter provided us in the links isn't. So instead replying with yet another useless claims show us useful evidence will you? Otherwise what you say will always be useless. I bet you don't have much experience like you said earlier

      By the way, if being on par or better than the Galaxy S7 Edge in gaming performance count as "a huge let down", I don't know what isn't. Please be creative and tell something new will you?

It's not like when I play Real Racing 3 with better frame rate and smoother frame rate with my friend on S7, he's gonna say, "Your p9 may seem smoother than my S7, but mine scores higher than yours in most benchmarks" Lol

Cmon that beachletter guy already provide us the links for the evidence regqrding the performance, so perhaps you should provide us some of your experience with many flagship phones. After all, user experience shows phone performs in real life better than benchmark scores.

But I think the best solution is to use tools like gamebench which will benchmark the performance of real applications. Unfortunately it is a little harder to set-up than your typical benchmark apps, and it isn't free.

                      I'll tell you one thing Now read this carefully! Ok?

                      Would not have you and all the so called p9 fanboys here have praised the p9 if it would have been in line (or topped) with the current flagship benchmark performances?

                      Then all of a sudden you & all the self appointed fanboys here would say "yes now the performance benchmarks are relevent".

                      So the moral of the story is that-
                      Just cause you like p9 does not mean you will have to convience yourself abt each and everything it offers. Hypocrite much!!

                          1- Run a benchmark App. Take a picture of the result. Close the App.
                          2- Run a graphically demanding game such as (Real Racing 3 or NBA 2K16) for 30 minute or less. Close the App.
                          3- Repeat step one.
                          4- compare the result from step 1 and 3.

                          Earlier, i did the steps above on my current device P8 Lite. The result as follow :

                          Step 1 AnTuTu benchmark (3D = 1111, UX = 12391, CPU = 11934, RAM = 4104).
                          Step 3 AnTuTu benchmark (3D = 1106, UX = 12177, CPU = 11851, RAM = 4067).

It is quite clear by now that you're completely unable to do any of these things. What you were able to do was to repeat a claim without any evidence to support it, and then use tactics like ad hominem to detract the whole discussion whenever others ask you to provide evidence. That's exactly your contribution to this thread.

                              so instead of improving on those weak areas you are only paying attention to "All is well" thing.
                              I must say you are doing a very good job with you "All is well" so keep it up.Lol

                                    You just said that a few posts ago. So no, you don't know the difference between benchmark and real-world performance, either that, or you just want to be a troll. You have made it quite obvious already. So yes, I will continue to judge you like that. You're welcome.

                                        I very well understand what is real world performance and the benchmark performance.
                                        However Benchmark performance does matter while buying a smartphone ,pcs ,tablets ,laptops etc & Thats a universal fact.
