At its event in London on Wednesday, Huawei launched its long-anticipated P9 smartphone, alongside the P9 Plus. Both smartphones feature a dual-rear camera setup made in collaboration with legendary camera maker Leica.

Called a 'dual-lens camera' by the company, the camera setup of the Huawei P9 and Huawei P9 Plus features two 12-megapixel sensors, with one capturing light in colour, and the other in monochrome. Together, combined with contrast, depth, and laser autofocus systems, the two cameras should provide sharp, detailed shots in both good light and low light conditions. The dual lenses sport an f/2.2 aperture. Both sport 8-megapixel front-facing cameras.
