Huawei’s launches its dual camera phone at Rs. 39,999

Huawei has launched its much awaited camera centric phone Huawei P9. While there is much speculation on how iPhone 7 will sport a dual camera, Huawei India today launched its dual lens rear camera smartphone, Huawei P9 priced at Rs 39,999. The phone is all about the camera and it has been co-engineered with German lens and camera specialist, Leica.

Similar to iPhone's campaign we see scores of impressive pictures clicked from the phone. The two 12MP cameras on the back is built to capture colour and depth in a frame giving the picture a professional touch, “one camera sensor captures the colour information and the other sensor captures only the black and white and varying levels of gray information.” Basically the USP of the phone is camera, camera and camera.

The smartphone is powered by Huawei’s own HiSilicon Kirin 955 that is refined variant of the 950. It features an octa-core processor with one quad-core Cortex A72 cluster clocked at 2.5GHz and another Cortex A53 quad-core cluster clocked at 1.8GHz. The chipset is paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage that can be expanded using a microSD card slot.

Recently we saw big move on the battery front from OnePlus 3 with 3000mAh with dash charge. Huawei’s new phone comes packed with 3,000mAh battery on the back along with a fingerprint reader and a USB Type C port that sits at the bottom. The smartphone will be available in Titanium Grey, Mystic Silver and Prestige Gold finishes.

Huawei also announced the stainless steel version of the Android Wear powered Huawei Watch priced at Rs 22,999. Both the watch and Huawei P9 will go on sale exclusively on Flipkart at 3:00PM on 17 August. The company has also extended the warranty period to two years with a pick and drop service.

Along with the watch, Huawei also announced its MateBook which is scheduled for launch later this year.
