I've got the Huawei P9, you've got questions — fire away!

[Alex Dobie]

First, be sure to check out our hands-on report from London today: Huawei P9 + P9 Plus hands-on: Dual cameras in Huawei's new high-end duo | Android Central

Richard Devine and I both have the Huawei P9 in-hand, so if you've got questions, be sure to fire away.

(Note that things like battery life will take a little longer to figure out — we've both been using the phone for less then a day at this point.)

What's your favorite of the available colors, and why is it pink?

 

[Alex Dobie]

You must be mistaken. There is no pink version. Only titanium grey, champagne gold and rose gold, none of which are pink.

FTFY

Im not a big fan of Benchmarks, but can u run Antutu? Im just curious if the result is better than the leaked details.
If u have time, please make a shot of the camera settings. Thx

 

[Stakoman]

How's the camera?
Like focusing speed and options available.
Slow motion video?
Is there any lag when taking pictures very fast? And moving the phone at the same time...
Like compared to the nexus 6p or the Galaxy s7? I love taking pictures with my smartphone so that's a big deal for me...

Does the phone record 4K video? Thanks in advance.

Crap-ton of camera settings:

Focus speed is quick but not GS7 quick.

Slowmo video: yep.

No lag. Pretty quick to capture.

Need more time to compare, but I'd say the GS7 outperforms it in most areas. 6P is less clear.

Nope

How skinned is the OS? What are the lockscreen notifications like? Is there a flashlight toggle?

 

[D13H4RD2L1V3]

2 main questions.

Based on first impressions, did you find it a little bit more difficult to nail a shot due to the lack of OIS?

And has Huawei finally sorted out EMUI's nagging system notifications?

 

[Jay Holm]

QC 3.0? How much in U.S.D.?

I'm assuming this phone can't be used on Verizon ?

 

[dodolom]

Alex, what are the LTE band options on this device? Will it be compatible with t-mo or at&t you think?

 

[personofknownorigin]

I think Alex fell asleep

Is the P9 coming to the US?

 

[Rickosw]

Hi
Q1) Does it shoot in RAW format like Huawei N6P ?

Q2) Does it have any build in AMP & DAC ?

Thanks

 

[Osama Parveiz]

how is the hybrid auto focus feature? could you post some samples of depth-of-field pictures

 

[Alex Dobie]

Yes to both. But lock screen notifications aren't done in the normal Android way

Alex can you post some video footage? Want to see how the P9 fares without OIS for video.

The P9 has that 1.7mm bezel, is it the same on the P9 Plus or has it been scaled up in ratio?
