Just under two weeks ago, we attended Huawei's launch event for the Huawei P9
and P9 Plus. Unusually, the company didn't use the event to show off
the entire P9 range which will eventually make it to market this year.
While we're fairly certain there will be a ‘Lite' version of the P9 (and
maybe a P9 Max too), Huawei kept quiet on those. Fortunately, it seems retailers are planning for their arrival anyway.
Pricing
is listed as $309 in the US or €270 in Europe. Specs listed include a
Kirin 950 chipset and a 5.2-inch HD display. Also shown in the listing
on the website includes 3GB of RAM and 16GB internal memory with
expansion via memory cards. Power will come from a 2,900 mAh internal
battery. Those are the same specs that we heard in the last leak.
The
main camera hasn't received a resolution bump (still at 13-megapixels),
but we do see a front-facing camera upgrade from 5MP to 8MP.
The Huawei retailer lists the Huawei P9 Lite
in the same three colors with the same specs carrying a price of $309.
The pricing listed is for unlocked and SIM free versions of the
smartphone. With pricing turning up in multiple places, the official
announcement of the smartphone can't be far off, we can see Huawei P9
phone is in stock, the price is $660, it seems the P9 Lite will go on
sale right after it goes official.
