When the P9 was launch by Huawei, there were a unique & distinctive feature on the phone that sets it apart from the rest of the
competitors. The camera that were used are co-engineered with Leica; a world renowned brand in photography. The P9 adopts a
parallel dual camera design, enhancing the effect and experience of taking pictures through image processing and image
recognition.
Compared with the traditional single camera program, the dual camera has the advantages in wide aperture, fast focus, image
sharpness, and noise control. One of the Dual Lens is for an RGB sensor to capture colour, and a monochrome sensor to acquire
detail on the other one. The two outputs are then combined to “create images of superior detail, depth and colour.”
