Huawei P9 and P9 Plus with Leica Dual-Camera

[guzzi850m2]

I am very interested in the P9 mainly due to it's dual Leica camera system but many other goodies like a very fast processor and 5.2" HD screen on the smaller P9 which is a perfect size for me.

Okay not cheap, in the UK 450 pounds or almost 23k baht but it's a flagship phone, 100 pounds more for the bigger screen P9 plus

Anybody know if they will be sold here and from which store? I am not sure it support Thai network so that is something to check off course.

I will not buy from Tukcom and other doggy retailers.

Ohh wrong forum, sorry, perhaps a moderator can move the topic, thanks.

It is not a Leica camera on the phone, it is Leica 'certified', whatever that is worth. The camera hardware is made by Sunny Optical, a Chinese company. Leica provided no help in the development or production of the optics (as reported by droid-life) Not Leica lenses. Apparently Huawei have subsequently issued a statement with Leica stating that Leica was intimately involved with the 'engineering process'.

Well, I am sure Leica is quite involved in the development or they won't allow their name on the phone. A tester from digitaltrend says that the phone menu system on the phone is very similar to that on a Leica cameras.

Will wait for more reviews before making up my mind.

Huawei caught cheating on the marketing for the P9. The photo claimed for the P9 was actually taken with a Canon SLR:
