Huawei P9 specs

Weight: 144g | Dimensions: 145 x 70.9 x 7 mm | Screen size: 5.2-inch | Rear camera: Dual 12MP | Front camera: 8MP | Aperture: f/2.2

Enhancements: 'Taken with the Huawei P9'

The Huawei P9 camera has been developed in conjunction with Leica, designed to showcase the fact it's got one of the highest apertures on show here.

The P9 comes pre-installed with EyeEm to let users share their dual-12MP-taken images and get the best published or exhibited.

These photos were taken from five photographers from the EyeEm community who were asked to shoot with the P9, with results from National Geographic and Conde Nast Traveler photographers included.

Phil Hall says: "The P9 has delivered some nice shots – dynamic range looks pretty good, although detail in the shadows gets a little too lost for my liking. 

"Some of the pics are a little unremarkable though, so probably don't show the camera's capabilities off to its fall potential."
