Bottom Line
The Huawei P9 offers premium features at a modest price, though we wish the UI and battery life were better.
The Huawei P9 is a 2016 5.2-inch smartphone that has received praise for its elegant design, great specs, and its dual camera setup. The Huawei P9 does not try to be flashy with an intimidating spec sheet, it is very practical, with respectable performance and an affordable price tag. Its processor and RAM combination provide great performance that rivals the best. Users highlighted its great camera setup which takes great photos with immense details. The display is also vibrant despite being only 1080p. However, the biggest complaint is the phone’s interface; Emotion UI looks a bit childish with too much going on. Also, the P9´s battery life, though not the worst, could be better.

Performance is also one of the P9's strong suits, but otherwise you're getting a fairly iterative upgrade lacking in flagship finesse.

It might take fancy photos, but the Huawei P9's high price means it's not a good choice over the similarly priced Samsung Galaxy S7.
