The P9’s main feature is the camera. Huawei has partnered with Leica to come up with something better for mobile photography. It has a dual-lens setup, each has a 6 optics with an aperture of f/2.2. And, beneath those glasses are two 12-megapixels 1.25 µm pixel size sensors — an RGB sensor and a monochrome one. Huawei claims that this will produce brighter, richer, better in contrast, and sharper stills. There’s also a hybrid autofocus combining laser, depth, and contrast focusing. All are processed with the P9’s dedicated image sensor processor (ISP).
