  • I have huawei p9 model L29..build nmber c900b191 still stuck on andriod 6.0..no ota update available.what to do need help...thank u

  • Don't post such rubbish here again. You may have poor maintenance culture for your phone and careless too. Do you want Huawei to help you use the phone after selling to you...... Bad post from you, have used several Huawei and it's still one of the best phones out there. Buy P9..... You won't regret it.

  • with the lack of updates to this phone, and unstable OS, this must be the last Huawei phone for me.

  • Battery

  • Anyone got update to android 8.0 Europe zone ? (Balkans especially) How can a awesome phone like this only receive 1 OS update, and use hardware limitations as an excuse!! Bad choice Huawei, this phone is better than my laptop.

  • Help. I Factory Reset my phone and the pre app camera is gone.. how to retrieved it??

  • I wonder how your SIM fitted, from nano to micro? Since you did not changed your SIM card

  • Im planning to change the motherboard of p9 which model is L19. Is it ok to replace it with a motherboard model of L09?

  • I have been using a P9 for more than two years. Been struggling with dropped voice calls especially (but not limited to) when driving and data disconnects. I assumed it was network related. I decided to install the same sim card into an old iphone (4s) and after a full day of calling not a single dropped call. Sharing this hopefully it will save somebody a lot of frustration.

  • I bought my Huawei P9 in August '16. The last update i received was in April '17, that's 8 month of updates for a top model at that time. Right now there are still several known and unpatched security issues with bluetooth, wifi, and others, which were not and will not be patched. Also if the performance of that mobile device was cool and great at that time, i cannot recommend any product of such a company.

  • There is not yet oreo in Bulgaria. Which country are you from ?

  • huawei p9 have android 8.0

  • My battery lasted just under 12 months it switches off if the camera is used of if it's low enough percentage left just the torch will do the same , if using the camera or video with the flash or light on it can shut down with 70 percent on the battery. After shutting down it will not restart no matter what hard restart etc ...very inconvenient if you have 70 percent battery and no charger on you ........ I gave a two year phone contact and a broken phone so I need to go and buy a new one at a cash up front expense it will have to be cheap but at least I can get a Sony Samsung in a budget range of 2 to 3 hundred Euro I'm currently looking at a Samsung A7 64gig 2018 euro front Komplet for 259.00 euro Had a Sony zx4 before this phone at least it lasted two years. I have been buying phones sinice I turned 19 that's nearly 24 years and have never experienced a phone as bad as this in battery quality putting that aside the phone is amazing... so big question to huawei is when are you going to put proper warranty on your batterys 4 months says you don't care about keeping customers......

  • I've been using this for about two and a half years now. Me and my sister both have the same phone although she bought it after a few months. I had the battery draining problem when the camera was turned on. Had to change the battery two times to get the issue sorted. but now some of my apps are missing after the factory rest. I read that it has happened to others who had to reset the phone a few times. Anyone know how to fix this? Now I don't have themes, camera, calculator, mirror, Alarm and calendar. I downloaded some apps for it.: / Apart from that the phone works good. same as usual.

  • Will there be oreo for Europe? for Huawei P9

  • A-N-D.... Which battery or which brand battery u r using ur experiment of using other brand s battery may be helpful 4 other p9 users as well.

  • Battery problem ,the worsts

  • I found in specs here "- 24-bit/192kHz audio". Where did you find this in this phone?? Yes, it definitely has a problem with battery after a while, and it usually appears when you try to make a photo. I've changed battery to the new one from another brand, and it really worth it! Battery problem totally disappeared! I even tried to make photos when it was just 15% of battery - and always it was fine. But it's pretty hard to change the battery yourself, be careful. And I would recommend to avoid fast charging if possible - it's harmful for the battery.

  • I couldn't agree more. This phone i have it since 2 years and 2 months. Battery great, performance great, display great. For me it is a great experience so far. I don't think i will find any other similar experiences with other smartphones as with P9.

  • Firstly which is better, Huawei P9 or Sony Xperia xz? Secondly in 2019, which is better, Huawei P9 or Huawei P10 lite? The P10 has oreo and not sure if it will get android P, but the P9 is stuck on Android 7. Has the emui 8 update been released for the p9 as per Huawei's plans?

  • i love this website

  • Buy it in 2019 ?

  • Good phone but help me mine is having a cloudy pic when flash is on

  • Two years and a half with this phone. Great performance, amazing camera, still runs pretty quick all kinds of apps after almost 3 years of use. I've only faced two problems with it: First one is the battery which only lasts half a day by now. I, however, consider this issue as an expected one considering how much I've used so far. Second one is the GPS. It's a bit slow at the start and quite inaccurate, specially in apps like Waze. Overall it has been a compelling phone, and if it weren't for the current state of its battery I wouldn't plan on change it this year.

  • Both my wife and I have one each. No problems at all so far.

  • same with my p9.i hate huawei products.

  • Same problem with my was P8lite, it also was grey out for Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi. Huawei Service Center Indonesia said, it was motherboard problem, needed to be changed that cost it for almost new price of Huawei P8lite. Fail product.

  • Tell me how good this Huawei P9 is.. because I've won a raffle promo for the 32GB/3GB variant for this

  • I had same problem. Change the battery. thats all.

  • have the same problem my P9 started shutting down every time I open the caméra and now the charge goes empty so quickly from 100 to 0 . what u suggest for that ?

  • did you change the battery?

  • I have the same problem , the phone started to shut down instantly when you open the camera and you can't start it again before recharging it because it will say the battery is 0% (even if it was 80% at the moment of the problem).

  • My p9 fails to connect wifi and bluetooth where wifi button and bluetooth greys out and does nothing. Are there possible fixes for this?

  • but still u can flash custom rom :P

  • battrry problem shutting down and hanging

  • I have the same problem too. Keeps shutting down on its own even though the battery is still around 70-80%. Sometimes the charging is too fast, it's fully charged from 30% within 10 minutes. Been using P9 since 2016 Oct and I got this problem since mid of 2018

  • P9 global version can't update to Oreo , that sucks

  • I have the same problem as Livos, the phone started to shut down instantly when you open the camera (or use it from any other app) and you can't start it again before recharging it because it will say the battery is 0% (even if it was 80% at the moment of the problem).

  • Agreed with you.I have a P9 no such problems

  • Possibly your phone is faulty. I have never seen such issues in huawei p9 and performance wise this phone still comparable with 2018 phones, never post such things if you have faulty device

  • don't buy huawei phones...... always remember. i regret everyday it freezes & the battery goes to zero. from my p9, to my mate 10 pro.........

  • Hey guys my phone has been hanging then it drains the battery. I saw an article that a lot of Huawei phones, have that problem. I have tried factory resetting but doesn't help. Anyone with a solution?

  • Your not alone mine does the same & it's a factory issue. Tried everything & still does the same

  • Its true..battery connector was lose,I fix it myself then the problem is solved..Thanks for advice.. 👍

  • connector of battery

  • My p9 EVA-L19C900B190 is stuck on marshmallow. Can't update to nougat

  • you right whats way huawei failed

  • My phone suddenly switch off by itself even battery is full..what the problem?

  • No! Official P9 2016 will remain stuck on Android 7.0 Nougat. He will not receive any updates to Oreo! Samsung J7 2016 is on the list of calander for upgrade to 8.0 Oreo while the Huawei flagship will stay at Nougat.

  • You can check manually for the update in your phone settings. In case you still don't receive the update then you can email Huawei Customer Care by using HiCare App installed in your mobile.

  • My P9 was stuck on marshmallow. Brand new out of the box. International model. EMUI is just terrible. I liked it at first because it was different then grew to hate it. Lock screen notifications are difficult to setup from app to app. Used my favorite music app shuttle Plus No lockscreen controls whatsoever. Extremely dim LED notification light. This phone is nice to look at, that's about it. Very disappointed

  • there is no leica hardware inside, just post-processing software with collaboration between huawei and leica. it use sony imx sensors !

  • it already run official oreo and lineage os ... download first "firmware finder for huawei" from playstore !

  • Huawei P9 will not receive Android Oreo 8.0 updates??

  • Guys I have p9 eva l19 when I compare it to eva l09 mine one camera was taking very bad pictures while eva l09 was much better capturing and also screen resolition was outstanding..tell me guys if some one have this problem...thanx in advance

  • Had the same issue. I think that is the battery sensor that has a problem the battery. I don't know if you guys would believe but I tried to download an app and amazingly it repairs the battery sensor. The application name is "Battery Repair Life 2018". Hopes this helps. Battery performance would not be the same as brand new but that goes all to all smart phones right?

  • The dual camera's purpose is for image depth. Use of two type of sensors for determining an object's distance, in this case for images a camera. That's why you can still edit the image blurred effect even after capturing an image.

  • Hey good to know that. the battery replacement you did it through Huawei store service centre? May I know how much? Thanks in advance.

  • I dont think that "leica" is using boths camera at the same time. Only 1 camera is using while shooting a picture. Try to cover 1 of the len, and its not blank and the image show the same if lens not being cover

  • Same issue. I just replaced the battery via service center and it seems back to normal.

  • I'm having this issue and it's super annoying. I had 40% battery and phone freezed while taking photos and then auto shutdown. Turned it back on and showed 3% and shutdown again. It showed 30% when I charged it. 80% battery for a less than 20mins gaming time (mobile legend), it went straight down below 20%... Speechless.

  • very bad concerning screen, without falling or without water entering screen went off within 1 year

  • After 6 months phone kept shutting down when I take photos. So it's basically completely useless to me as I wanted a camera with a phone not a phone with a camera. Huawei isn't forthcoming with fixing it...

  • Go with the new Huawei nova 3i. You won't regret it :)

  • My P9 battery life does not make me enjoy my phone so wondering if P20 would be of good to me because i am always with my phone

  • After one year of used, i noticed a my phone is getting slow. My main problem is the gallery. When i opened my gallery iand look at those pictures, it freezed for so long i need to closed all that apps running. But with no avail, they still the same. Any help please. Thanks

  • it same happen to my huawei p9..already spoke to the staff at service center, and they said it mayb problem at motherboard. anyone already solve the problem like this..it's becoz of motherboard or battery it self.

  • I was wondering if i should buy a P9 or a 9i ? I need a good battery life and a good camera (front and rear) . Nothing else really matters much as long as i get these 2 things. Pls suggest. I like the p9 looks though.

  • same

  • My Huawei P9-EVA L19 has some issues with battery. When the phone has battery life like 30% or less, and we try to use the camera, it gets hang and we may forced to switch it off. But the thing is that once we try to put it on, the battery will go to 0% and automatically gets switched off. Why is this happeninig? any one can help me?

  • Have Radio?

  • the battery was average in the first place, got mine for 7 months now, a full day on a charge (with apps stopped, but with 3/4g on), if the oreo update comes maybe we see some improvements

  • Same

  • After 2 year battery drain extremly fast. I think the quailty is bad and going down by time. I will change it battery and see the diffrence.

  • I bought this phone secondhand.. it was a great phone but Im quite dissappointed with the battery life..

  • Their fault not mein :

  • Are you from Huawei to say that it won't come. I guess no so don't comment on things you don't know. Its already being sent through OTA updates. Check out these links and you'll see :) 1) 2)

  • Don't wait it won't comes anymore

  • Your cust number like c900 is crossflash version, you need to debrand your phone first, go Find thread on xda developers and debrand your cust c900 to c432

  • Anyone already has an update oreo I'm still waiting for me and hope that I will get an update of oreo

  • eva-l09c900b127

  • What your cust number is like in EVA-L09C432 c432 is cust number, what is your phone's cust number

  • Huawei P9 (EVA-L19) 8.0 Oreo Update capable device? When can I update my phone?

  • Has anyone in the uk not yet received the nougat update for there eva-l09 like me?? I feel im the only one yet to receive it.

  • Yes according to Huawei they will release the Android oreo update for the P9 in the coming weeks

  • The Android 8.0 Oreo update will be rolled out to the P9 smartphone...???

  • Well it will take some time i guess. Maybe one month or so. Huawei will only be releasing oreo for 20000 devices of each model in the first phase. And most probably it will be released in china at first. Then it will be released to the other countries through an OTA update. So it will take some time. But who knows... must wait and see

  • To HADES99: Thank you. I appreciate all of your feedback. As soon as you get Oreo let me know so I can see the time difference in you getting it between me getting it (If we end up getting it).

  • Battery life is the same as well imo. I didn't encounter any excess battery usage until now running nougat. Good battery life to last a full day with moderate usage :)

  • To all who upgraded their P9 Plus/P9 from Marshmallow (Android 6) to Nougat (Android 7)...How would you compare battery life? Is it better, the same or worse?

  • To HADES99: With you having Nougat now how would you compare battery life in comparison to how it was with Marshmallow?

  • I have good news for all the Huawei P9 users. Apparently Huawei is gonna roll out oreo for the P9 afterall starting from June 30th. Android authority has updated it in their website. Check out the link below ;

  • I would say the speed is actually the same without any slowdowns or lags. Maybe a tad bit faster but the device didn't become slow. And still its the same.The most prominent thing i noticed was the device operations become more smoother than it was in marshmallow. Maybe you can download the nougat update for your P9 model from the internet and flash it manually. Hope this helps :)

  • To HADES99: Thank you my friend. That was certainly a mouthful which I enjoyed reading every step of the way. One finally question...how's the overall speed now? With Marshmallow the speed is super fast. In your view is it faster with Nougat, the same or slower? Thanks for the time out you take to answer my questions. I appreciate it.

  • If you want in depth information about the nougat update you can check this link out;

  • Well i have the EVA-L19 model. And Imo the nougat update was one major change for the P9. This is the changelog; Huawei designed EMUI 5.0 based on the newly released Android 7.0. The brand new EMUI 5.0 is inspired by the pure blues and whites of the Aegean Sea. The interface is simple and smart, and EMUI 5.0 comes with enhanced, powerful performance that allows mobile phones to operate more smoothly. • A cleaner, more interactive interface A brand new UI and effects inspired by the blues and whites of the Aegean Sea. Simplified gestures, with most operations completed in 3 steps. EMUI 5.0 is more customizable, offering an optional Android App Drawer layout to users. • Enhanced features System operations are more fluid, allowing you to view a massive amount of images, browse websites, and perform searches faster. • Notifications An optimized design combines shortcuts with notifications to reduce the complexity of user actions. Touch and hold notifications to quickly block messages and notifications. Reminder cards are stacked to save space. • Three dimensional task management Tasks are stacked three dimensionally on the UI. Smooth gestures allow users to scroll through tasks by sliding up and down or dismiss tasks by swiping left or right. • Camera Camera now supports plug-in management. Infrequently used modes, like document scan, are presented as plug-ins. • Contacts Customization and sharing features added to name cards. The sharing feature allows quick sharing of contacts through Bluetooth, Facebook, and other methods. Added a scanner to the search box and lock screen, making it easier to add new contacts. • Email Improved how unread emails are tagged in the inbox. Users can now quickly delete, star, and mark emails as read or unread from the left sliding menu. • Settings Created a new suggested settings feature that recommends key settings based on the device's current status. Now, your phone is more capable of adjusting to your habits. Added a newly designed drawer feature. When this feature is enabled, it hides non-system preset apps in a drawer on the home screen, presenting you with a simple and tidy layout. Added a new drawer feature for settings. For settings that take two or more steps to set up, the user can now jump directly back to the main settings page with one gesture. Emergency information added. Users can add their names, blood type, and other information, so emergency services personnel can view this information from the lock screen. Added eye comfort mode, enabling you to adjust the screen color temperature manually to lessen visual fatigue.]

  • I just haven't gotten the update yet. I checked yesterday as well and still no update. I have a factory unlocked L29 (dual sim) variant. What differences does Nougat bring to the P9/P9 Plus? Please share the changelog and your own findings with me.

  • Maybe you should get your device to a huawei service center and get it checked. And btw the huawei P9 plus has the Android 7.0 nougat update. Why are you still on marshmallow ?

  • Oreo is "heavy" for kirin 955... I just thing that they don't want to deal with a phone that wont sell any more. This is why Huawei is always going to be third or less... When you buy a flagship, you expect to be supported accordingly. Maybe the last device I buy from that firm.

  • Oh sorry my bad...but still it proves my point. Then the 658 is even inferior compared to the 955 and still supports oreo and yet Huawei can't make their flagship Devices support oreo :-(

  • On Huawei P10 Lite is Kirin 658

  • Well the huawei mate 10 lite, honor 7x , p10 lite are devices with the kirin 659 and they already have oreo through an OTA update while the Y9 2018 having the same processor which is the 659 has oreo out of the box. And the honor 6x and the honor 8 lite /gr3 2017 which has the kirin 655 processor is already confirmed for oreo. So why not the Huawei p9 which has a very powerful processor compared to the 659 and the 655 get Oreo. They should focus on their flagship devices first. We pay premium prices for these devices and even before 2 years updates are abandoned :-(

  • To HADES99: I agree with you my friend. Out of curiosity though, which of the Kirin 655 and 659 got the Oreo update?

  • How can that make the phone worse. If the kirrin 659 and the 655 which are very underpowered chipsets compared to the 955 can support oreo why the hell can't the 955 support oreo too. Just lame excuses. Really disappointed

  • Yeah sad about it. But they say it would make phone worse, so if its true its nice that they care

  • Huawei p9 isn't getting oreo update.. Very disappointed 😥

  • How can one solve the problem of one of the simcard not showing or in service. Because the only way it's showing, it's when I have it on preferred network. But in 2G mode it's not

  • What a dick move by Huawei by not giving P9 users the Oreo update even though Oreo came out 3rd quarter of 2017 which makes the device eligible.

  • considering the iPhone x came out 2018 and the Huawei p9 came out in 2016 ....i think you have that the wrong way around.

  • Yeah the next iphone is gonna feature a triple camera setup just like huawei did in the first place....and in the launch event they will brag as they introduced the triple camera system first....who's copying huawei now ? LMAO

  • iPhone X - Announced 2017, September - Essential PH-1 - Announced 2017, May - Is there anyone else who thinks APPLE does not copy others?

  • This came out way before the iPhone X. What's wrong with you guys? Other than being expensive, and a luxury for bragging, they aren't all that. Android phones can do more.

  • LMAO

  • use a 5v 1 amp for me it lasts longer

  • annnnd it just ripped off the iphone X design...

  • After a few weeks of use I now also encountered some problems. Battery drain, random reboots and some slowdowns. Hard reset does not help either. So disappointing :(

  • Battery life is awesome. You can easily spend a day with heavy usage

  • I want to ask you how is the battery life on P9? Thanks.

  • If the battery is draining even in stand by mode then you should hard reset your phone after backing up your data. It will resolve your issue..

  • I have problem with draining batery and over heating 😏 what is the problem anyone know ??

  • Its funny. I read so much new about Oreo coming to the P9. I guess it will but even when I ask Huawei on facebook they say they have no plans to release it. So im confused, but could also be that person who answerd me dont know shit about whats going on hahaha. Had similar response for a phone before that received the update later anyway.

  • I didn't receive oreo update..i was just guiding the other guy who was having trouble to find the floating dock.:p Oreo update will be released as soon as the beta testing is over.

  • Oreo update please...philippines

  • It's available but its still on beta and the beta is only available in china....so i guess after they finalize the software an OTA update will be released for other countries as well

  • As i heard android oreo is not available officially, where did you get that

  • I got this phone very cheap. Its so nice. Love everything about it. Been jumping between sony,samsung and apple. But this is probably the smoothes experience i had on a android device. Also love the camera

  • Did you manually install the android Oreo? You can enable the floating dock from notification panel shortcuts.

  • hi, recently i updated android oreo on huawei.. but navigation dock went missing. what should i do?

  • p9

  • Damn this device just dropped in price here in Norway. Its about 200 euros. I might get one 🤔

  • 9 durable, epic performance and stunning camera photos.

  • i was also considering the same, mate 10 lite or a P9, since it is 2018, what do you suggest?

  • Huawei Customer Service Center Located in: Majestic City Address: no. ,9/1/2, Station road, 04, Colombo Hours: Open ⋅ Closes 5PM Phone: 0112 423 017

  • Sri Lanka

  • what country are you from?

  • There is no link.... Huawei Officials in my country confirmed it to me through Facebook....this is the exact message they sent me - "Hi, Thank you for getting in touch. We are in the process of testing the update for the Huawei P9 at the moment. Towards the end of April you will be able to get the oreo update."

  • After one year of use I am very satisfied with Huawei P9 (EVA-L09). It does everything I need fast and without problems. Admittedly camera is not the best there is but it is good for most purposes and has plenty of options. Battery life is nothing to brag about but is adequate taking me through day and quick charge helps too. I have nothing to complain with its display or raw cpu/gpu performance, both are solid stuff. It has taken some beating thanks to having a toddler and so far it has taken it all without a scratch. I do not understand why screen glass has rounded edges as it makes protective films and glasses useless but like I said so far the phone is ok without such addons..

  • can you send me the link for this? hopefully we can get p9 here in asia

  • The official android oreo update with EMUI 8 will be launched before the end of april here in asia. Huawei confirmed it :)

  • I have it bro. U seems lonly

  • Either use "Files" app or with a 3rd party file manager from Play Store, e.g. Xplore.

  • It's been a year for me with the p9 & I still love it dearly. No issues even after updating it

  • Already it's price is stagnant. The price is not going down

  • Am i the only one not to have emui 5 installed on my p9?? I was told by huawei a month ago that the update was ready for me ota but still nothing yet??

  • Question. How can I transfer files/apps from internal memory to memory card.

  • No its design is outdated, go for the p20.

  • Would you recommend this phone in 2018?

  • Better to buy Redmi Note 5 Pro...

  • unzip your update firmware and put it on the root of your external sd-card in a folder called dload. power-off. wait 3 second press power button + vol. up + vol. dwn at the same time until you see the splash. the device will now auto-restore the firmware.

  • your router is defective, believe me (check if you are not using a lot of device connected) aka mimo-type of your router

  • I'm holding a EVA-L19. Ever since the first update, the WiFi is crappy as hell. I have frequent disconnection, unable to detect WiFi and unable to connect despite being able to detect. I changed my router, update it's sustems and others but this damned phone can't detect. My other devices, including a P9 lite has been working fine. Personal experience; do not get this model.

  • Worth buying, is it good for games and stuff??

  • wich One? P8 or P9 or some other huawei

  • after the latest March Update on March 3rd 2018, My Huawei P9 EVA-L09 went dead . I took it to Huawei Nairobi Service Centre, Kenya. They said the battery was faulty and replaced it on March 13th 2018 The phone was on for two days then started requesting Huawei eRecovery. The download and recovery to restore the system says getting info package info failed meaning the phone isn't useful for now.

  • My Huawei P9 EVA-L09 went dead after the latest March Update on March 3rd 2018.

  • My Huawei P9 EVA-L09 went dead after the latest March Update on March 3rd 2018. I took it to Huawei Nairobi Service Centre, Kenya. on March 9th 2018, They said the battery was faulty and replaced it, NB: never saw the old battery ????(BTW) The phone was on for two days then started requesting Huawei eRecovery. That hasn't succeeded yet meaning the phone still isn't useful upto now.

  • I forgot to mention the battery life wich is by far better than the 5x. I can Leave home without my charger at 6 am and when coming home at 5 pm still have 30-40%

  • Coming from a nexus 5x im pleasantly surprised by this phone. The screen is great, to my taste even better. The looks and feel in the hand are amazing. The screen looks better than the 5x and im pleased with the camera. Very clear with a lot of options. Coming from stock android i was a bit sceptic regarding the software but im runnng it for a week already and not once i tought about using the android 1 launcher. It came with a clear case and type C adapter so i can charge the phone with a samsung charger. Even the headphones sound amazing. Overall the phone is fast without any lag. The only time i noticed lag was when i started a download while playing music. The music pauses very shortly and continues. Im very happy with this phone.

  • who copied apple's design? :v apple's design is no where near Huawei's design.. The design of Huawei P20 is perfect not ugly like apple's iphone x.:p

  • How p20 isn't a copy of iPhone x, I'm not against the idea of notch it's look fantastic. They should pick the idea only why they are copying the design when they have their own classy design that is pathetic.

  • p20 is not a copy. :v you can say they have picked up apple's notch idea and crafted a better design.:D Btw everyone is following the notch idea except LG and Samsung.:D Perhaps next year S10 and G8 will come with a notch too.:P

  • What about p20 lol.

  • Ok... and who is huawei?? If you say something like that at least post your source. In that case I have spoken to huawei too and huawei told me the oreo update is already on the works for P9. Anyway, P9 best phone ever. This phone will worth some money in a near future. Read my words. Remember my words.

  • 16 months are enough for a fault of battery it's time to replace the battery! It's not a phone's fault...

  • This update drains battery EVA-L19C185B394

  • I use it 16months, seldom use the GPS, cos always disconnect. now start facing battery problem, sometimes show 40%, but take photo will suddenly shut down and the battery left 1%.

  • mine working flawless even on last 1%, try a hard reset

  • p9, more than 1000 times better

  • mine b393

  • i have used, mate 10 lite, note5, s7, s6. but back to my p9 most satisfying set ever used..... problem free, flawless. More user friendly then any other company.

  • I have used Honor 3C(used about 5 months), Honor 4C(used more than year) and now I'm using P9 lite since 8 months! I'm very satisfied and every phone was fast n good!

  • I agree with you, but keep in mind - p9 was flagship all rounder model. If you compare with other Huawei models novadays that are less than flagship models you will be disapointed. Huawei is top producer, I have P9 too and it is still better than h 7x, h9 lite, etc.

  • Have my P9 phone more than a year, still perfectly working, I can't still believe what a good leica camera is on this phone. just wow.. Have no problem at all at this time. I think I became a huawey fan, and my second phone will be definantly a Huawey, but I will wait now for next model P11 or something like that.

  • Yes.

  • C900 is a crossflash version and it couldn't update. You should have to debrand your phone 1st

  • Just spoken with Huawei and the p9 should all be updated to emui 5.1 before the end of march this year, I also asked if the p9 would get the Oreo update and they said there is no plan at the moment.

  • Is anyone still waiting for the emui 5.1 update I've still not got it yet. My build No. EVA-L09C900B127

  • I have had no problems so far. This phone is great. EMUI 5.0.1 OS 7.0

  • My front and rear camera show extreme light flair in areas with lots of lighting. Problem started after 8 months of usage. Huawei in South Africa have replaced all camera and main board yet the issue persists. Seems like a cheap build. Not worth the price

  • Is worth it to trade, Huawei mate 10 lite to p9?

  • power saver mode does not lower the resolution. But there is another separate option to lower resolution.

  • Does anyone know what resolution p9 goes through after activating lower resolution PSM?

  • On some games on 19%

  • Honor 8 is not getting Oreo, but P9 will. Timeline IS yet to be announced.

  • it lags only when red indication light goes on.

  • Ok thx i will check when my battery will be low

  • Low battery low perfomance, just check if there battery saver mode disabled.

  • My wifi works ,but donyou.know why my phone starts to.lag when battery procentes about 19%

  • My Huawei p9 can't access WiFi internet.pls help me

  • Anyone knows why my Huawei P9 lags when left 19 % off battery (only on games) If you know please give your opinion what would i do

  • Anyone knows why my Huawei P9 lags when it has about 19% ?????

  • Is it just mine, or the wifi+ doesnt work anymore, Emui 5.0

  • no official statement from Huawei, but hopefully

  • Anyone installed the new update? Is it okay

  • I hear honor 8 get oreo, so does p9 get too?

  • Huawei P9 is the best option by far, I would say. I guess is the most expensive though, too.

  • In 2018, should i buy a P9, P10 lite or a Samsung A5? O.o

  • Same specs with lg g5 and p9 but much better in camera is lg g5 because have wide angle and great selfie even at night and low light..

  • p9 for sure

  • Same question, and why? :-)

  • Sorry my p9 is lock please can guise open it

  • P9 or p10 lite

  • P9 should be the choice It has better processor, better battery life, better look and better camera

  • P9 or LG G5 and why

  • Mine honor 8 fast charge not working, btw i am using original huawei quick charger, any solutions?

  • excellent picture quality (both screen and camera) very very fast and responsive to any application

  • P9 or Honor 8 which is better ?pls help

  • Thanks for the reply. Can this second user be activated with a registered fingerprint as if one wanted to create a seperate profile on the phone? Thanks

  • obviously honor 8

  • emui 5.0 on nougat ##yes. there is 2nd space on huawei p9. go to settings> advanced settings> user>add user

  • currently a p9 Huawei user from ph. I've seen a lot of leaks that p9 will get oreo update just want to asked if when and if its true. :D

  • Carefully follow all the steps in this post.

  • Hi to all the Huawei fans I got a problem with p9 I downgraded from EMUI 5.1 to 4.1.1 reason for the downgrade was because I installed a wrong firmware from firmware finder and so many apps where missing now after the downgrade battery life is shit I really don't know the course of the problem. I really wanna upgrade to nougat but I find it very difficult my build in number is L09C900b182 I really need your just post the link of the correct firmware and will follow is thanks in advance

  • What emui is running with Nougat on the phone? Also is there any confirmed reports that oreo is releasing for this phone and timeline of when? Is there PrivateSpace on this version of emui? Thanks

  • You forgot p9 lite and p9 lite mini

  • I think the micro sd card is the problem, my p9 support an 64 gb micro sd card without any problem

  • For sure p9

  • Any opinions between this or the honor 7x or the p10 lite or older Honor 8? Thanks

  • may I know where did you heared that rumor?

  • Please. Huawei p9 or a5 2017?

  • android oreo planned on p9 ??

  • Hi What emui is running with Nougat on the phone? Also is there any confirmed reports that oreo is releasing for this phone and timeline of when?

  • i heard that oreo conformed for p10 at january and for p9 february 2018

  • Camera pics getting corrupted soon after capturing.. not able share, but I can see pics in gallary. Later stage it blank and nothing is visible...

  • I have 64GB in my phone and the phone reads SD card perfectly no problems at all also I use to have 128GB but phone had problems because this card was chinese and from time to time was corrupted. I'm sure if I would have branded 128GB then phone would not have any problems.

  • It says that p9 can support micro sd up to 256gb. But when I insert 32gb (sandisk) inside it cant even detect the sd card inserted..anyone can clarify or help me on this? It it only can support certain brand of micro sd?

  • one phone has this name and that.

  • I own one of the Huawei devices and I am going to stick with the company. However, I am pretty annoyed on what is going on to their company. They have released multiple phones with confusing names. This year, they released: Nova 2 - Nova 2 Plus Mate 10 - Mate 10 Pro - Mate 10 Lite P10 - P10 Plus - P10 Lite P8 Lite Honor V10 - Honor 6C Pro - Honor 6A Pro - Honor 9 - Honor 8 Pro Y7 Prime - Y6II Compact - Y7 - Y6 -Y5 - Y3 Not only that, one phone has this phone and that.

  • Thank you for the information. How can I update to the latest version? Because when I click on updates or download the latest version, it nothing came out, if currently it is version 7. But mind is only version 6.

  • Ok, thanks for the information.

  • Standby time is same like marshmallow, battery drops just 2 to 3 percent during night

  • There is only emui 5 for the p9 when its released properly, i was told by huawei that its being released in batches my old p9 lite received the emui 5 last month so hopefully it won't be to long to wait for the p9...

  • What do you mean by 8.8..you mean Oreo ?..i still dont heard any news about that..the latest update i know was 7.0 (nougat)

  • I'm a Huawei P9 user, my issue was unable to download the updates, my current android version is stay at 6.0 since Oct 16, while the latest version should be ver 8.8. Could anyone of your can advise this matter? Thank you.

  • I'm using P9 Huawei, is under version 6.0. it's getting lagging. I tried to check for the update, but nothing come out. But understand it is version 8.8 now. Anyone can advise how to deal with this? Many thanks

  • any Oreo update for p9? please support this beautiful device Huawei,.

  • How about the standby time ?..it is normal or otherwise ?

  • You concern about performance and camera right..go for Huawei P9..i used Mate 10 lite before and then i swap my phone with P9..im very satisfied with P9..captured very good image quality than Mate 10 lite..

  • P9 or mate 10 lite? In terms of camera and performance

  • hi what about android oreo 8 . are there any update for p9? thx

  • Thank you for replying :)

  • yes...there are many partitions (system, data, custom oem, modem, dsp, recovery....). i got the same free storage

  • I bought Huawei P9, 32 GB .. but i found that it's about 22 GB free out of 32GB .. is that okay ?!

  • I'm using b386, it's working flawlessly.

  • Now im using B392

  • try to reset the phone, if you still encountered the same issue, go to Huawei hi-care and report that bug so that it will fix through next update

  • Does anyone had that problems with connection. My P9 keep showing emergency calls only after update. I try put other SIM also had that same problem.

  • Early builds always have some bugs, do factory reset to solve the battery drain problem if it doesn't. Then upgrade to latest build. I'm on b386 and battery time about the same.

  • I feel you bro, after I update my phone to Android N , my battery don't last for 1 days, I can play mobile legends in 20 game per day but after the nougat update I can only paly 13 to 14 .

  • Just one thing i confused now..the battery seems not lasting after used a nougat update..who is here think the same with me ??..

  • Galaxy A5 2017 has a front camera problem right now..that is what i readed in the forum..the P9 has a good camera because it used Leica...for me..its sharp and good than A5 2017 camera..performance i think it is the same for both phones..

  • For me..both are good phones..both phones have a nice camera..so its up to you..

  • if you want that phone only for the camera you can also get a camera at the same money if you want a phone with more multimedia capabilities you can get a5(2017)

  • hello good people,.. I need your opinion/help.. huawei p9 or Samsung galaxy a5? thanks in advance

  • So how? I planned to get this phone instead of P10 Lite and Xperia XA1 Plus... I'm confused :(

  • Hello guys..i am a new P9 user..just swap my Mate 10 lite with P9..haha..hope this phone better that Mate 10 lite..hihi

  • I tried to setup voice command by saying, "Okay Emy" but always got errors. Sometimes it will say that there is a background noise. Any tips on how to set it up succesfully?

  • BUT IN MY PHONE, I cant do this, whenever I select RAW mode the camera app freezes and i have to force close the app. but i use 3rd party app to capture RAW images but there is no problem, so them problem is in native camera app

  • I bought on November 19

  • It lasts for a day

  • The p9 is great

  • How's the battery of Huawei P9?

  • Yes, it does have a micro SD slot. I just bought P9 EVA-L09 today. It has a slot that you pull out in which you put the SD and the SIM cards. I use my old 16GB SD from my Lumia 640LTE. Works great thus far.

  • Hello people i need opinion because i can't decide between P9, P10 LITE and Samsung A5 (2017), please help??? Ps i am using now P8 LITE for 2 years.

  • Install TeamViewer on both devices (As an option)

  • So ive just bought a p9 coming from a p9 lite but first thing i noticed my lite updated to emui 5 last month but my p9 still hasn't??

  • Can you control your windows pc using this phone? Is that possible?

  • So you falshed the wrong firmware, your phone build no. should be start with EVA and you install the NXT firmware which isn't for your device so it has crossflashed your phone's firmware, and it is soft bricked. I'm sending you the link how to debrand your phone but if you aren't fimiliar with this stuff, you need to go the professional to do this.

  • The build number I got now NRD90 test-key

  • If you couldn't find your firmware then i will suggest you to debrand your phone

  • If there's a firmware that use the downgrade please send me the link . I have tried to roll back to EMUI 4.1 but I haven't succeeded

  • Downgrade your phone to marshmallow, it should solve your problem. The issue you are facing just because the Firmware file was not complete or wasn't approved for your device.

  • Hi Dana I got a problem with my Huawei p9 l09c178 I downloaded this firmware update from firmware finder and I it seems it was the wrong one and I have already installed it on my device and am currently facing some serious issue first when I install the firmware some apps disappear like the camera app and some other important apps . So I decided to factory reset the device and things get worsts the firmware is EVA-L09C178B384 i wanted to upgrade to emui 5.1.1. so after the factory reset when I power on the device it says ( your device has failed verification and may not work properly.) And when I press the power button it will take me into the device and asks me to sign in with my Google account but I can't do because there's no physical keyboard only Google voice assistance available and it can't be disabled. So I can't sign in . I have also tried to eRecovery the device but it always stop at 58%

  • Ive had Samsung all my mobile life but I stepped away when I bought the P9. Im so satifyed with the speed of the phone and also the camera which is very important when you go on expensive trips like I do.

  • a dude wants to sell me one and I'm willing to buy it but instead of saying Huawei in the front it says "Onyx" and in the back instead of Leica it says Delux. In the phone (in "about the phone") It says that in fact is a P9 (EVA-L09) but that words are making me suspiscious as I read that those that says Onyx and Delux cannot be used for calls because they are the "test version" of the phone. Should I buy it or no? please help!

  • Hi, samsung galaxy S6 is a little bit better than P9 but the last one is cheaper than S6 so in ;y point of view I prefer P9. good luck bro

  • which is better p9 or s6 I'm planing to buy , but i cant deside.help!

  • I am user for almost a one year now! I am more tha happy with this phone.... I am pretty sure that this will be the phone that i have the longest period in my life.....

  • Dude install full OTA update, it's approx about 2.41 gb EVA-L09C178B384. After upgrading do factory reset its highly recommended.

  • It has everything you need as memory card slot which is in the same place as sim card, I have 09 version and i'm more than satisfied and grateful :D Just buy class 10 or higher memory card :)

  • you can still bro - switch to pro mode , then swipe right. you find an option to save raw and jpeg both.

  • i guess its because you update to a lite version approximately 1.4gb. you need to update to a full big OTA of 2.16 Gb. in phone updater when you find an update , click back button and click 3 menu dots, and then "download full package"

  • i cant captures photo using RAW mode, thats only flaw. after naugat update.

  • hi man i need you help i have been facing some issues since i downloaded the update to emui 5.1.1 some apps have gone like the camera app, themes , update, at this moment i can't take pictures anymore

  • Thanks a lot man I finally got the update

  • Install an app firmware finder from playstore, check the latest firmware of your model where the mf-pv is mentioned. Check how to download and upgrade by using YouTube

  • L09C178B141

  • No plan to upgrade to 8. or huawie stop care about this model! I'm a user

  • your build number ?

  • please be a guest to visit any smartphone store and just ask a human in there with your useful question that I saw here

  • How do you update to it as my phone is saying no updates available

  • +1

  • +1

  • Huawei p9 has better camera but honor 8 has a better look, performance wise both phones about the same.

  • i"m having an issue of echo during phone calls. The other persons hears himself again, on my end everything is fine. microphone seems to be abnormally sensitive. is this hardware or software related bug?

  • Huawei p9 or honor 8??? And why

  • Yeah it is a great phone...it keeps having updates after emui 5.0 and nougat 7.0 and still works after a long a time very decently. You have to connect to pc with HiSuite to have some updates..i think. Still loving the camera!!

  • Its fantabulous

  • Any opinions by people who have used it from more than 6-7 months?

  • Hi. Its technology has fast charging upto 50% with lessthan 1 hour. Then after than it'll come back to normal charging.

  • I've both phones , p9 and Honor 8 at home, personally love the look and feel of honor 8 more. While in performance both phones are awesome.

  • Huawei P9 with EMUI 5.0 & Nougat 7.0, is more than awesome, only samsung note 5, s8 & edge might be better than this model, but I'm sure you will like and enjoy this phone !! Thumbs up for huawei engineers

  • Hello guys ! I'm in a process of buying a new phone and since it happens a lot to get a thumbs up for a Huawei phone,yet some still advice me to go for a Samsung. The thing is I really look for a : -good battery backup -nice camera -fast-working phone with no lags (I don't play any games but still I can't stand waiting 5 minutes ) -nice desing of the phone itself and its menu *Now on this topic. I had an LG G3 (my last phone) and after 6-7 months of use it left me disappointed and i still cry over this phone because I loooved its design. - not a very big phone ( I have small hand that cannot handle big phones) - optional, but some extra options impress me and make the usage of the phone more comfortable Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) also caught my eye, but doesn't fully satisfy me. What still makes me think about this phone is its REMOVABLE battery- something that might be very useful. But it's the only thing maybe that I like about it.

  • Go for the p9 is a all rounded device

  • Hi ! would someone, advice me between p9 & honor 8, which is better ? Then I have been using Samsung & xperia phone, but I want to try Huawei but I keep hearing people talk about EMUI. Is EMUI in this phone that bad ? Thanks.

  • Im using nogaut no issue at all.

  • Mine charges to full about 1,15h

  • Its not ridiculous, its physics...

  • Use quick charge 3.0 supported charger, it usually takes max 2 hours to charge fully.

  • I'm currently running 6.0 , is it worthy to update to nougat ? any issues with nougat update ?

  • Hi fans the only big issue with the p9 is the charging time it's takes about 2hours 30minutes to charge from 50-100% and 30minutes from 0-50% this is ridiculous

  • P9 is a better camera phone than the zenfone 3. The 3 has exposure issues i guess and i really don't like the UI of zenfone.

  • Which smartphone's camera is the best? huawei p9 or asus zenfone 3

  • my build no is EVA-L09C675B320

  • I am a P9 owner and I am satisfied with the device. However, its camera lacks OIS which should have been a good tool for lowlight shots. Overall, good phone for the price.

  • You are right I got the device for about 6 months also no problems at all the camera of this device is got awesome battery last for a day. Performance also is very good I wonder why people keep going for more expensive devices when we got the likes of the p9 and the honor 8. All in all it's a all rounded device good for day to day use

  • Mini Review of Huawei P9 *i'm a real user of p9 .i'm using this smartphone from february 2017 1.design:9.9/10(absolutely stunning design) 2.processor:9.8/10(kirin 955 is still a powerful processor) 3.performance:10/10(absolutely no lag!)(i'm using 3/32gb dual sim model) 4.camera:9.95/10(best part of this device,after the nougat update camera improves a lot) 5.gaming performance:9.5/10(mali t880 mp4 gpu,it handles most of the game with ease) 5.battery:9.9/10(i'm still enjoying good battery backup) 6.value for money:10/10(mid range price for a flagship phone!!) **but yes this phone has some hitting issue,but i think its absolutely normal because it has a all metal body.my phones standby temperature is 32 degree) OVERALL I MUST SAY HUAWEI P9 IS REALLY A OUTSTANDING PHONE.

  • I have P9 for 3 months now. the problem is, it frequently cannot detect the simcard even after change to new simcard. I also encounter sound keep cracking from time to time. very disappointed.

  • Great phone, battery lasts for days, nice and fast OS with a great overlay, it's so simple and intuitive to use, the specs are out of this world for the price, great value for money, and after 6 months use I can attest to the reliability, not a single problem has been found

  • Yeah got it, no freezing issue in raw mode. Easily capturing photos. Check your firmware build number I'm on b386, if it is lower than 386, do update on this build. Early builds always have some bugs

  • on nougat open camera> Select pro mode> Swipe left> Now see the option RAW format(2nd option)

  • Strange that there is no raw mode in my p9 EVA-L09. I'm on nougat.

  • RAW is lossless quality of any image. select pro mode>swipe right>select RAW

  • What is raw mode?

  • HELP NEEDED: After Nougat update, I cannot capture photo in RAW mode, the camera freezes when I select RAW mode and then camera is behaving abnormally for long time. Then again I have to select normal mode to capture photo. please tell me solution.

  • how to remove VIBRATE on keyboard ?

  • Maybe you should try this: go to settings -> Apps -> Facebook -> Permissies and check everything.

  • normally though, But i won't expect it in 2017.

  • Maby this will work (it worked with me, I had the same problem with FB messenger). Go to your recents pannel -> klick click on the lock. Now the application will get ignored by android dose.

  • from SA and very unhappy with P9 - don't get any whatsapp notifications while on mobile data ALL setting are correct and NOthing is restricted

  • Will the P9 receive Oreo

  • That still doesn't work, thanks for your help though.

  • Go setting>Advance settings >>location services

  • I upgraded my phone but Facebook still doesn't show my nearby location.

  • Yes you should upgrade your phone

  • I've just got the P9 on contract, I think it's a great phone, but when I post to Facebook, it doesn't show my nearby location. I've turned on location in settings, but it still doesn't show. I haven't updated to Android 7, and I haven't updated to EMUI 5.0; would I need to update both for Facebook to show my nearby location?

  • I had A5 (A510F / eu spec). To be honest, battery was much better. It could last more than 24h without recharging... P9 have no FM radio, everything else works better for me. I hope that would help a bit. ___ Does anyone know if Oreo update is even planned for P9 at last?

  • Yes, phone is volte enabled. You need to upgrade your sim to 4G though. The volte is auto.

  • Yes. Use a Type-C to USB adapter so you can connect your pendrive.

  • Yes

  • Does Huawei P9 have a voice recorder?

  • I had it now for about 14 months. I used it without any case. Not even one scratch neither on cameras or body. And selfy camera, yes you can, did you try to find it in options inside camera tools?

  • Does Huawei P9 support OTG?

  • When I go to Modes and then edit. There is nowhere to change beauty. I go to the selfie camera, then swipe from left to right to go to the Modes screen. Here I click the little edit pen in the left top corner. Here I can remove 'Audio Note' and 'Watermark' and nothing else.

  • go to mode ➡️edit➡&#65­039;change beauty's situation It works for me

  • Nice looking but with big issues. I have had the P9 for 5 months now and here are my opinions. The BAD: * Selfie camera cannot disable the beauty mode filter. You have to toggle it off every time. * Phone build quality - glass covering camera lenses gets scratched almost instantly, which will render the 'Leica' branded camera useless. Why is this not gorilla glass??? * The metal body is so soft it gets scratches too easy The GOOD: * Fingerprint reader on the back is fast * Camera takes great black and white images * phone is generally fast and responsive For me it is kind of a showstopper that the selfie camera does not allow you to disable beauty mode filter. I don't want to have to toggle it off every time I would like to take a selfie. I don't mind looking like I really do in real life on my pictures. So a function that artificially alters my looks is NOT a plus for me. These are my opinions.

  • It could be your carrier's transmission problem. Mine works in Volte/4G and the phone automatically degrades to H+ or 3G depending on areas. I move a lot. VoLTE pic :

  • Not correct, at the moment i have 4G with only two lines. I have had the phone for a year, i have been on 3G a few times, might be 5 times, 30 minutes each. I might be due to terrible connection in your area.

  • This phone have no 4G-ONLY Mode. Very very bad on this matter. If 2 or 3 bar 4Gs, it is mostly going to 3G mode. Trying to manual select the network also not working.....This is my main hates about this phone. Other is 1 sim + 1 memory or 1 sim 4G + 1 sim 2G. However this phone is really super superb.

  • When will p9 get oreo update?

  • Use firmware finder app, and check on YouTube how to use it.. Latest update is yours

  • Hi I've p9 Chinese version with 4 giga ram and 64 memory I'm receiving updates regularly and last update was last week My brother have same phone and he didn't receive any update since January 2017 He rollback to Android 6 then after that he received two update So try this procedure And for Android Oreo many reports said p9 will receive Android O

  • Good choice. I've been using my P9 for almost a year, and I took this phone to travel through Europe and Australia, the camera performance is just simply brilliant. In my case, if I use it to photograph continuously for quite a while, it'll turns out quite hot; whereas hardcore gaming, it was only a little warm. I think that's because of the cpu has to process the information from both cameras at the same time which causes the heat. Anyway, I'm extremely satisfied. ;)

  • For Huawei P9 don't expect any updates from Huawei because they are shockingly appalling in making updates available. It's 1/2 way through 2017, Oreo has been announced yet Nougat is not available for UK users at all. The Hisuite application for UK users does not show any updates, it's not downloadable from their website although ironically a rollback package is ! There's been no announcements for uk users but huawei support insist it's being rolled out in the uk and you're one of the few who doesn't have the update. Maybe they think the public are droids and robots who will accept any old trashy statement but it's plainly obvious on twitter and facebook it just hasn't been rolled out in the UK. So great phone but bad support with zero updates from Huawei.

  • I've been a P9 user for almost a week. I have tested if the allege dual camera scam is true. I've covered the one cam and use the other and detail and quality was affected when you zoom in. No overheating issues encountered (not a gamer). The front camera is pretty good in daylight (outdoor and indoor). It struggles though in extreme lowlight condition and it's normal. Monochrome camera is excellent! If colored rare cam is good in lowlight, the monochrome is superb. If only wide aperture is available in monochrome mode... Purchased this for $240 and pretty satisfied.

  • I'm a P9 user here and my answer is - YES IT DOES, both cameras are work together to generate a picture with better details and contrast. Simply take 2 photos with one covered the monochrome lens and one don't cover the monochrome lens, zoom-in the photo then you can tell the different.

  • Yes, mine at least (l09 eu) A great phone, in my opinion Cheers

  • Does the P9 come with a preinstalled screen protector?

  • After using this phone for almost a year, bought at September 2016, here's my review. Camera is amazing, very fast focusing even at low light, the best camera on a phone I have used (my fastest camera is Nikon D7000 + Sigma 30mm f/1.4 but not that pocketable lol). On P9, DOF points selectable after pic taken using Huawei's default gallery. Phone's warm (stable, not overheat) after long use of camera, but so does my all other phones. Updates regularly (7.0 now). Battery drain is okay, charges up to 60% (red to yellow to green in about 40 mins) then slow charges to full. I'm not too particular about charging time but I think the phone has fast charge chip or something (idk im just a user, non techie), so it doesn't need a fast charger. I go to work at green indicator, recharge again to about 80% after 5 hours. I don't game, sorry. Lags a little on certain sites after long browsing, lags gone after I ran the default optimiser. Screen brightness is okay, need 90% or more at outdoor at noon, 60% or less indoor. Speaker is clear and loud, good for Linkin Park, lacks bass for action movies. My only wish for this phone is 4K. Review done. :/

  • i found something weird, recently when i checked my device cpu info with the CPU-Z app it showed that all the 8 cores are based on ARM Cortex-A53 architecture while gsmarena says that the huawei p9 has 4 ARM Cortex-A72 & 4 ARM Cortex-A53 ...plz anyone do confirm on this :(

  • But sony

  • Dropped in water.. It is not working anymore and will be thrown away.. it needs new board.. I don't know if all the other mobiles have the same problem!

  • Yes they don't but they're super important when it comes to taking pictures with bokeh effect, even high end phones like galaxy s7 takes a few seconds to process a background blurred pic but this phone doesn't because of its dual camera

  • No

  • Which mobile should I buy, P9 or Honor 8? I could not find much difference in specs. Please suggest.

  • Does nougat enables 4K recording?

  • You live in UK and still dont get nougat yet and here I am from the philippines and I got nougat already way back in february. This is quite a surprise since Im from a third world country

  • Which one is better overall? P9 or xperia xz?

  • Which one is better overall? P9 or xperia xz?

  • how? There is also an error for the android auto. Have you tested and worked?

  • The dual camera is a scam. Both lenses do NOT work together to produce one single image. They only work separately on colour/bnw photos.

  • You can use an app named firmware finder to update your phone.

  • Wrong, because any manufacturers they are obliged to offer support for updates for 2 years so the Huawei P9 was released 1 year ago so he will get Oreo as well

  • My wife has the P9 Huawei for 1 week and when she turn on the phone the update OTA straight come in so she get Nougat straight away

  • I still don't have update to Nougat. For all I know some users have. I sent question to Huawei.uk and the only answer I get was "soon". Device is maybe ok but customer service beyond expectations. It's only 2 GB of data but Huawei is not able to manage with giving update. No anymore Huawei.

  • My phone heats up to the point where I can't even hold it in my hands. Anyone experiencing the same issue?

  • you should reboot the phone twice in a row

  • yes

  • hi. It doesn t work with Mirrorlink, but works with AndroidAuto.

  • I'm facing serious battery drain and heat while using the camera. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

  • Sony xperia xa1 ultra is a good choice too

  • Their dual-camera setup is co-engineered with Leica. Recent information regarding the two cameras reveal they are made by Sunny Optical Technology of China, which is a camera manufacturer authorized by the Germany-based Leica.

  • I have to know the thing is that leica company provided any camera lens for p9 Is it true or not?

  • Spec wise, HTC 10 has the advantage. Though I haven't used HTC phones, I can see that HTC10 offers better stuffs than the P9. This includes 4K video capability, better GPU, OIS. But P9 has better lowlight shots and slightly better battery in the endurance test. For the overall design, P9 looks more gorgeous.

  • Why did you recommend p9 ?? More than htc 10

  • Agreed, and i think nougat 7.0 could be a last major update for this device.

  • P9 is a better choice.

  • Hi I have to buy a phone Htc 10 and huawei p9 Which is the best ?? Tell me

  • I purchased my P9 a year ago. It is a well designed device so badly let down by Huawei's utterly appalling product support. Anyone buying a Huawei device must accept that they will never receive promised software updates!!!

  • Sony Xperia A1 Ultra priced at Rs 29,990 in India

  • Thank you s much. Is good phone. I have buy new huawei p9 is super

  • How about this, GSMArena has provided you with the "Compare" feature on this site. Have you used it?

  • Huawei p9 has better camera, faster fingerprint scanner, card slot and metal body but difference is very rare. Performance wise both phones has excellent repute. Now choice is yours. For me the better one is huawei p9

  • The multimedia system in VW cars ( VW,Skoda, Seat, Audi) does not support this device, you can check it on the official site of mirror link.

  • i am thinking which to buy iphone se or huawei p9 can someone say which battery is better or is se too small to use or overall which is better

  • Had a problem with my one week old P9. I tried to connect to my Skoda Kodiaq with Android Auto and Smartlink but nothing happened. Can u help me!?

  • Both of them has good camera.and about battery i think in my opinion p9 has better.both specifications is amazing,i can play any game you want.its your choice which phone u want,metal or glass.hopefully i amswered your question if not ask me again something good luck

  • Hi. I need to buy a new phone. I need to chouse betwen galaxy s6 and huawei p9. Who is better. Inned something for battery and good quality photos

  • i am thinking which to buy iphone se or huawei p9 can someone say which battery is better or is se too small to use or overall which is better

  • i dont have any problem so far after the update, as they say while updating the patch download should be continous as not to interupt the process of updating until my phone resets itself after the update..maybe its true coz i dont have any problems at all with my P9, in fact the battery is now more efficient before the update.

  • Huawei P9 After updated to EMUI Version EVA-L19C636B381 The camera photo taken can share thru Whatsapp. Defect Show in whatsapp The file is pick up is not the picture file. Some time ok. Some time not. The version are look like not stable. I m Huawei fens. I brought honor phone 4x, 6, 7, P9 lite, Mate 8, mate9 all are no problem. But P9 are giving me problem after auto updated. If the version are not stable pls do not ask system to up date. Programmer engineer should liabilities. Huawei anyway can settle this problem.

  • How much is that drainage in %? Huawei phones drains a little more battery than rest of them

  • The battery life very worse after use for 5 months , especially use gps or photo shooting.One day have to charges twice to maintain the phone to be use.

  • Thank you for your help, I'll give it a go, but if that doesn't help, will have to replace my phone.

  • If you are facing standby battery drain then you should reset your phone after backing up your data. It will solve your problem. I had the same problem when i upgraded my P9 from android 6.0 to android 7.0 .

  • I'm not happy with battery life, it drains so much after new update, I wish I could reverse it to a previous version. I really like Huawei P9, and in any other segmentis excellent, however after selecting less power using options and apps, it doesn't give you freedom and that doesn't help so much in duration. Nevertheless it is quality looking phone and that should't happen, that's why I'm thinking about buying other device.

  • i cant swith camera (rear and front) while recording on instagram story

  • OTG support?

  • I suggest on the next update or patch, maybe HUAWEI can adjust the AUTO brightness of the screen, its very dark when i set the screen brightness to auto, and the cellular signal bar should indicate back the type of frequency band of signal in our phone we recieve whether it is a 2G, 3G or the 4G. Need help also how to Lock settings in my P9 with Nougat EMUI 5.0 so that not everyone can access the settings of my phone, just updated it so im not much familiar with the new update TIA.

  • I am using P9 since last year! I love this phone in spec for camera, system and etc. Till now, there is no lag at all for my phone. Only can said that you are the lucky one.

  • Yes for sure! You may search for YouTube regarding the updates!

  • Hi, I just want to ask is it worth to update the EMUI 5.0? Thanks for the reply..

  • Dude, you're out of luck. Huawei P9 loses nothing to the iPhone. My first 3 smartphones were from Apple so I got a little used to it when I bought my first Android phone. Huawei P9 is my second and is amazing, specially because you can hide the drawer. In almost any other aspect, the P9 is paired with iPhone 6 and maybe 6s. Your phone is broken,not the model, but this in your hands.

  • Yes go for it. It's a great phone. Good cameras , good battery life, good processer

  • Optus has the same deal but with 3gb

  • I dont know if I should get huawei p9 or lg v20 or htc 10?

  • I am sorry about that. But you may have to consider that every brand produces defective phones and you are totally lucky to get one of those phones. Congratulations!

  • Got huawei 9P before I was using iphone 6. Totally wrong choice. 1. Phone is ringing but nothing on the screen. 2. Today phone starts to show only tel numbers, can't link them with contacts. Problem sorted after restart. 3. People telling me that where calling but no record on huawei. 4. Got 3 apps installed, fitbit, kasa, viper Only 5. 459 pictures Please reconsider iphone as I do, this phone is joke.

  • I have got the huewie p9 & I think it is a great phone easy to use for me with out all the hipe of mobile phones.

  • P9 vs P10, > P10 has better graphics suited for gaming, Mali-T880 MP4 vs Mali-G71 MP8 > Gorilla Glass 3 vs Gorilla Glass 5 > Dual 12 MP vs Dual 20 MP + 12 MP with OIS > P10 is capable of 4K video which P9 lacks > 8 MP, f/2.4 vs 8 MP, f/1.9 front cam with the advertised bokeh selfies (hopefully be fixed with future updates for some issues) > 200 mAh battery difference > slightly better sunlight ratio So in my opinion, better go ahead for P10, OIS feature is pretty important. Yet just wait for the price to lower down.

  • Need help how to Lock settings in my P9 with Nougat EMUI 5.0 so that not everyone can access the settings of my phone TY.

  • looks like p9 has bn around for more than a yr. now in australia (at least sydney) there r promotions from virgin mobile selling PHONE PLAN $40 + $0 meaning one gets HUAWEI P9 (NOT P9 LITE) EVA-L09 for free plus: 1. unlimited calls within australia 2. unlimited sms 2. 2gb/mth DATA so can any p9 owner advise me if this is a good deal plz? thk u very much in advance.

  • dont use hicare instead goto settings then look for system updater...then download and install the update.

  • You don't need any cards. You just have to register as a gold member vip using the Hicare app. Basically you need to create a Hicare profile. But this registration has to be done in the first month after the purchase of the phone.

  • does it include warranty card to claim? my warranty card has lost...can i show the imei to prove my warranty is still valid?

  • messenger compresses photo quality on any phone

  • Had the same problem with my one month old P9. I tried the factory reset but nothing changed. Took the phone to Huawei service and they told me it was a problem with the mainboard. The phone was replaced with a new one cause I registered as gold member VIP. Four months later the new phone works just great, had no problems since the replacement

  • Tell me your phone build number. May be I can assist you

  • Ah, okay, I get it now. And between P9 and P10? Is P10 overpriced or it is worth the money?

  • dont use hicare instead goto settings then look for system updater...then download and install the update.

  • HiSilicon Kirin 658 vs HiSilicon Kirin 955: (4x2.36 GHz Cortex-A53 vs 4x2.5 GHz Cortex-A72 Mali-T830MP2 vs Mali-T880 MP4 Is that enought?

  • can anyone give me a opinion between S8 and P9?

  • how did you update to nogat 7? i been trying to update from the hicare but it said mine is the latest vesion.

  • as observed only playing online videos can drain the battery fast same as before, other than this everthings fine it could last a day and you have still a juice of 25-35% at night, assuming youre always online but frequently playing online videos.

  • P9's chipset is K955 while the P10 Lite is just K658, it means faster processing power...P9 has also Gorilla Glass3 protection, metal back and body and more freq. Bands, battery is also better of Li-Ion 3000 mAh

  • Broi how many hours battery backup u getting and ur using style ?

  • I see everyone is saying that P9 is way better than P10 lite. Can anyone tell me why exactly should I go for P9? Is there anything else beside very good camera?

  • Just updated my P9 to EMUI5 Nougat 7 EVA-L19 Build 381 without any issues, Luv d skin and my battery is now more impressive, nice notifications and its more accesible than the EMUI 4.1 Marshmallow

  • I am using a Samsung S7. I bought a Huawei P9 recently as extra cellphone. In our area, the cellphone signal and/or reception is almost always very weak. This Huawei P9 impressed me because of that. I can now regularly call people I need to call with much much less problems due to my location's very weak signal.

  • i agree to that!

  • just few minutes i posted my impressions to huawei p9. i tell you, you will never get disappointed in it. trying to help you have quality phone.

  • Sending any images or videos via messenger is normally lowers the quality of the photos or videos you have sent. it is in the system of the network to automatically adjust the memory of the file into low quality purposely to send it quickly.

  • so whose fault it was? Huawei broke your phone? :D

  • After updating my p9 to nougat last January, the device became better. Better in terms of battery, performance, stability, and camera. Before i got the nougat, my SOT battery was on 2Hrs30Mins-3Hrs30Mins. Now on nougat, 5Hrs15Mins-6Hrs. I was so amazed about the battery department. It doubled its performance, actually. Overall, still happy about this P9 and never got the intention of upgrading yet.

  • fell one time on the pavement and glass got broken

  • It's just messenger. There a new update to messenger where u can send HD photos and videos.

  • I got Wifi and Bluetooth issue. It's grey out and can't turn it on.

  • Have that same problem when i send images via messenger. It seams that messenger lowers quality of pictures and videos for some reason. It sucks.

  • I just got my P9. I am very pleased with device. Still learning. I can not find out does P9 support UHS class 3 256 GB SD cards? I know about 256 GB that it support, but UHD i am not sure, and want to find out before buying. Thanks for advice.

  • yes. definitely good. look for huawei p9 photography in facebook to see the pics. :D

  • Hello who among you encounter same scenario as mine. Im using huawei p9 when i am sending video to the messenger it has a blurry sounds horror like sounds.

  • Yeah,and I always use it

  • which one is better P9 or P10 lite?? i am still confused

  • Battery life is very very good. When you playing heavy games make sure that you tick the gaming mode under battery section but if running Android nougat 7.0 then no need of that. Never use a xiaomi phone so can't answer your 3rd questions.

  • Hello Guys. I want to buy a new Huawei p9, can Anyone help me a question above this : 1-How about performance? Battery life? 2-How about playing heavier games? It's bad heating or not? 3-If xiaomi have a their Os like Miui, how about Huawei? **Sorry about my poor English. Hihi really need your helps from any experience users or expert. Thanks a lot guys

  • Can anyone tell Huawei P9 is otg supported or not????

  • Finally I'm on android 7.0 with latest build b387, updated my phone through firmware finder. Very happy and satisfied. No battery issue, no performance issues. Everything is buttery smooth.

  • Can u describe your build number. Maybe I'm the one can guide you better

  • I disagree with you

  • Great phone never had any issues with it. I had a s7 edge another great phone..I gave the s7 edge to my wife and bought the P9 and think it's great I actually prefer it to the s7 edge. Performance is great screen not as good as the s7 but I can live with one compromise.

  • User Problem, not phone problem. learn how to use phone properly.

  • I have been using this phone since April 2016 and i didn't face any problem which you mentioned in your comment. You cant blame the material if you don't know how to use a phone carefully. My cell phone is still brand new and i have just used a soft plastic back cover for protection.:D

  • Note 4

  • I agree Mr Chris option. This P9 is really poor quality

  • Received a P9 as company phone about 3 month ago, its on EMUI 5.0 and android 7 now, and in my opinion.... It's utter rubbish, battery life is dire, can't cope properly with push notifications, cheap looking and dubious build materials that are easily damaged despite being in a case since new, and the lack of continuity in the UI is quite shockingly bad. I'm not a Samsung fan but it's not in the same league as a Galaxy S5, It's the most disappointing phone I've ever used, I don't follow fashion and constantly update my handset, my own personal phone is a second generation Moto G, and that is so much slicker to use than the P9, I've even took the step to get Huawei removed from our allowed phones at work as there have been so many complaints from users

  • P9

  • Forget Apple or Samsung this phone is a good solid bit of kit. I had the S7 Edge before this and trust me this phone is better in my opinion.

  • hi all i bought P9 from Myanmar and now m staying in India, and i hvnt recieved Nougat update in my phone. Can anyone help how can i update it. Indian service centers saying they cant help it.I hv tried all updates method like via updater and Hicare. Thanks in advance

  • go to xda and search DSP Manager for Huawei P9 section. It's mine !

  • you must uninstall the root to flash original package update or to check update !

  • Does the A5 2017 has the dual camera??!! No!!!! Then p9 is here and awesome then A5 17. You can compare yourself these mobiles on GSM arena. And sorry for my bad English.

  • P9 or Samsung A5 2017?

  • cust number is very important to upgrade.

  • I have the same problem

  • The software update failed i tried like 7 times🙄🙄 any advice??

  • You can buy P9 without any hesitation and you wont regret.

  • This can only happen if you are traveling on a bus or a car using map with mobile screen off and after few minutes you turned on screen then GPS will again find your current location which will be displayed on the map. Obviously it will suddenly change your location on the map other than that i don't think there is any other scenario.

  • something like 'jumping' location

  • My gps works good, i havent face any problem

  • I'm thinking about selling my S6 and purchase a P9 but I'm so scared I've been a Samsung baby for 15 years

  • If your are doing upgrade manually then you must be flashing wrong rom in to your P9. If you are facing this issue while upgrading through official OTA update then you should visit Huawei customer care center.

  • My cellphone works fine. what do you mean by fluctuating ?

  • it doesn't have an equalizer.

  • Any user(s) here facing GPS issue like can't detect satellite, or while navigating it is fluctuating?

  • Does the music player on P9 has an equalizer?

  • Yes

  • Me neither :(

  • Is it contain notification LED?

  • sold my S6 edge with broken display for a 90 USD, bought P9 , so happy now. it is fast and nice. camera is perfect. better choose P9

  • P9 or s6 edge better??

  • Hi, I am trying to change the settings on my p9 to optimize the camera for printing photos. Although I am taking photos on the highest resolution (12M 3968X2976 4:3) they are only saving as 72dpi. I am looking to store the photos at 300 dpi. Anyone have any tips for me? I'm a complete novice to android so apologies if this is a basic question! Thanks, Sarah

  • huawei p9 or moto z play?? which one is better??

  • i'm updating the software of my p9 when intsalling the package i get **fail to check the update package**can some one help me to solve this issue please ?

  • p9 or honor 8?

  • i'm glad that it solved your issue.:)

  • Thanks a lot for your kind advice regarding the battery draining issue in nougat 7.0 ...I have also the same problem of fast battery drainage after updating my phone P9 in 7.0 and EMUI 5.0

  • For me it depends on the charger. The original, which came with the phone fully charges the phone in less than 2 hours. But i bought one from ebay, and with that, it takes much longer. Regarding battery life, it's usually enough for a day, if you're using it much, but at home, but in my case i can go 2 full days without charging... I am satisfied.

  • I have nougat 7.0 and it takes max 2 hr and 30 minutes to charge from 7% - 100% . It gives me almost 2-3 days battery backup and it can be different for every person according to usage pattern.

  • I have a question of those who have this phone.how many hours does it take to get chaarged and with medium usage of battery how long does the battery gives you power?

  • Yes i recomand the update to nougat, but only version 378 i made 5 hours screen time, do not update to 383 the batery manager has a problem it consum a lot in stand-by i only made 3 hour screen time, is very smooth with 7.0

  • its worth upgrading. its smoother and really nice but only problem i have with 7.0 it that sometimes there is a facebook crash messege. it doesnt shuts down if you press wait. and it goes ok i think its facebook fault. i dont have any other complaint

  • Hi, I have a P9 here and would like to update to nougat but I just want to check if its worth it to download the update or Not???

  • Battery timing is better than android 6.0. I'm using nougat for almost 3 weeks now its working flawlessly.:D Initially i also had fast battery drain problem and i solved this problem by resetting my phone after making a backup of my data..You can also try this.:D

  • yes, go for the note 4

  • when I said j5 camera better than huawei p9. p9 is way better in camera segment .

  • when I said j5 camera better than huawei p9. p9 is way better in camera segment .

  • Dude are you joking j5 camera better than p9 //? Lol

  • If the price is of no importance,then do not waste a second comparing these two,P9 is better in every possible way there is!

  • what about between note 4 and mate 8

  • what should i get p9 or j7 prime?

  • Just few days i got the Nougat 7.0 but now battery backup is poor more then Android 6.. Need to solution... I deserve in Nougat 7.0 battery backup will good more then Android 6.

  • Note4

  • I got P9 Plus 6 months ago and now I have problem with the screen,( I'm a professional and 60 years old as you may say a miss use). I have very bad experience with them, nobody guide me where to go for warranty, they promise many time to collect it from me for check and repair but nothing done. My suggestion to all of you to choose other brand, somebody who care about customers

  • hello help me making decision p9 or xiaomi note 4 ??

  • 4 to 5 hours it takes to charge, are u kidding me. it always charge in 2 hours as like u mentioned j7 do.

  • only the fast charging is fake, currently I'm using original huawei fast charger but it's not as good as samsung quick charge... rest of the phone is worth of money, camera is far better than the Samsung phones .

  • and i think your comment is fake.:D i'm using P9 since april 2016 and i can guarantee its best in every aspect on the other hand samsung J series is pathetic.:D

  • P9 worst Mobile. Better then Samsung J7 & J5 Series best .p9 camera not gd . J7 j5 best camera.... p9 dual camera what use I don't no . Battery fast charging is FAKE. P9 4 to 5 hour to charge. J7 is 2 hour full . I think Samsung Mobile is best .... Huawei p9 worst .....

  • I have been using p9 little over a week now. No issue of RAM management in 7.0. Gaming performance is pretty good but I experienced navigation gestures button annoys sometimes. Overall it's good phone for money. Decent camera and useful features, does good in battery standby that I have experienced on any other android smartphones. You will not regret:-)

  • Use app called simple in playstore ,der apps for Facebook and also simple browser and its gud enough give it a try

  • best high performance in low buget..im using 8 months ..nothing say any thing..nice camera..speed...

  • Is anyone using other browser than Chrome. Chrome drains over half of battery in daily usage and i mostly use it mostly for reading, very little videos. Today phone was on for 15 hours with little over 4 hours of screen time and ended up with 15% of battery. So is there any way to save battery with other browser, I am afraid if i use some other apps (dezzer, instagram, any game) that it won't last till end of the day.

  • Its a good phone and the overall performance improved very much after upgrading to nougat 7.0 with EMUI 5.0. You can buy it without any hesitation.

  • Use method 1 if you have marshmallow 6.0 android version otherwise you will photo and file option if you pull the notification panel then you can transfer files by selecting one of the options mentioned earlier.

  • Hi I've been using Huawei P9 since December 2016. Yes, the quality is good. Photos taken looks great. But when used for playing games (not online) even only for less than 30 minutes it heated. For taking photos, call and messaging this one is good. Also, the battery doesn't drain easily. >>>I couldn't connect this phone to my laptop to view and save the photos from my phone gallery to my laptop. What shall I do?

  • How About BATTERY LIFE and RAM MANAGEMENT afteR Android 7.0 update in this device? I want to know because i am going to buy this

  • P9 is better.

  • The battery issue is fixed after i had reset my phone and i think the battery performance is better than marshmallow.

  • Hi guys Plz help me Should I buy p9 or honor8

  • Hi just wanna know if the price is still the same for this phone?

  • Do it man I've done and I'm happy with mobile is fully changed and nothing happen to battery it's working fine

  • Is there is any coming update for Voice over LTE in this Huawei P9?

  • How's the battery now?

  • Email Huawei HiCare about this matter they can guide you better. You can email them by opening HiCare app and select feedback.

  • Huawei p9 is the best

  • can someone answer me I have huawei p9 eva-l09 European version so my question is I will receive the nougat update when huawei will release in europe or they will cover the region.

  • 3000mah*

  • The P9 has a Li-poly battery 2900 mAh

  • Yup the update is worth installing. I was facing fast battery drain issue so I emailed yesterday to Huawei HiCare they told me to create backup of my data and reset my phone. Now i hope the issue will be fixed. Other than that over all performance is much better now.

  • Android Marshmellow 6.0 battery life was awesome but now its draining even on standby mode.:( Let me try factory data reset from settings hope it will solve this problem.

  • I don't think it will be fixed on its own because its still happening.

  • Which phone should I buy Huawei p9 or xiaomi mi5s ? If I mainly use the camera, music and for text and call only.

  • I received update today for nougat eva-l19c185385 from Eva-l19c185b220.. Its about 2.24 gb... Is it worth to update

  • Hello guys I have been using this phone for 2 months now and it's an excellent device.I want to update it to nought but I want to get it's reviews first.Can anyone tell me how is the new update and does it have any effect on the sound of this device Thanks

  • Did you do factory data reset after updating? I did it and my phone's battery is fine now.

  • no the phone is settling the software by itself, that is why battery is draining fast, just calm it will be fine soon

  • The update doesn't depend on the sim connection. you can manually check by going in the update section. i have received yesterday around 5 pm and the battery is draining fast in standby mode. The phone app is keeping the CPU awake i don't know why and i have found that the battery draining problem exist in nougat. May be it become better in next update.

  • Hi just want to ask if which is better in terms of camera and battery life? huawei p9 vs mi 5s. I am just torn between this two phones.

  • I've received the new android 7 update UI 5 and i already miss the old android 6, i think it looked better than this update.. any thoughts!

  • Hi m in uganda I rcvd nougat today but want to know if there r any problems in it ? Its 2.2 gb

  • can you update the phone without Wi-Fi?

  • Hi fri How about the battery life, Multitasking? Is there any heating issues? Thz in advanced

  • Yes i can see both local and online themes.

  • Does your phone support online themes, mean to say when u open theme app it shows u online themes or jist lpcal

  • This Phone is a well balanced phone , camera , ram , weight , looks . I prefer this phone over my S7 and Z5 and all previous phones. Just waiting now for 7.0 .

  • While Samsung is pushing Android nougat for their 2015 phones S6..note 5.. I'm still waiting to cone on my P9..that's edgy this is my last Huawei phone.. Galaxy A7(2017) I'm coming for you

  • my phone version is European but region is middle east Pakistan

  • I'm also from Pakistan. May be we will get nougat next month. Your selected region is Europe? Why are you using other region it can create problem if you will use other region's updates.

  • I'm from Pakistan but my version is European.

  • Where are you from? i'm still waiting for my EVA-L19. I'm tired of waiting for nougat update while other OEMS already pushed nougat update to its last year devices and pushing nougat update to even older devices.

  • one of my friend got the nougat update of his huawei p9 lite... but I didn't received yet on my p9 L09... very disappointed.

  • Come on j7 prime is nowhere near p9 it will last 2 years bt if u fornat it half a year ,like 2 years 2 formats it will be better

  • If u can handle flass design of honor 8 prevent it frm scratch and cracks thn u can go fr it ,p9 is btte in processor and i wud recommend p9

  • Yes der updates coming for p9 ,if u can buy s8 thn buy it

  • Hi, I'm really confused with all these Huawei. Just have one simple question, which one to choose. P9, mate8 or honor 8?! :s

  • In another two years, will this phone will still functioning great as now (except the battery performance) if I monthly backup my files? I want something that worth my money since I'm going to take this phone under telco plan with 2years contract. And between samsung J7 prime vs P9, which is the best?

  • Can you please any one tell me galaxy S8 or P9 Or any further update for P9 is coming

  • I bought a p9 3 weeks ago updated noghut and I love this baby good camera good batery life fast charging good gaming performence before buy this I read gsmareana for one week.thier are so many bad and good reveiws so I thought to post my honest review I think this phone is worth for the price anyone can buy this phone without any doubt thanks

  • Great phone , great camera ...

  • That interests me as well

  • Try reseting ur device ,or u can check battery usage if any app is eating up power, try switching performance mode ,or switch to 720 p ,it shudnt be heating this away my p9 doesnt heat ,gud luck and come back and post if it helps

  • Greeting all gsmarena and also p9 user. I have used p9 for a month , I think it is quite bitter sweet for me. 1. The battery got heat up too fast. Is it just my phone or can other user tell me what to do. 2. The huawei MUI little bit different from others phone but that is acceptable. 3. The sound speaker is okay and love it but not too impressive. 4. The camera and picture quality is good but for low light quality not so good. Selfie camera good but sometime the beauty effect too fake . 5. The connectivity is good. 6. The battery charging process is great. My only problem is the phone got heat up too fast. Can anyone give any suggestion. I cant play any game because the phone temp rise too quickly.

  • Are you sure? Because I have a vague remembrance that it wasn't. Also, is there a way to use EMUI 4 clock/weather widget in EMUI5? This is the only thing EMUI 5 got worse.

  • Emui 4 also using AccuWeather

  • P9

  • Can anyone which company EMUI 4 use to give weather info? (EMUI 5 uses AccuWeather)

  • Me too tired of waitin ,i will flash nougat on my p9 soon ,i suggest u do the same ,huawei is the slowest at updating while other oems r releasing update for even older smartphones

  • Huawei p9

  • Huawei p9 or honor 8?

  • when they are releasing nougat for huawei p9, tired of waiting. they said the march of 2017 but half of April is going over.

  • Phone is fast and snappy battet life is well above average almst 5 hrs of screen on time with moderate​ usage

  • Mayb a5 has gt the better screen here but processer and camera is to p9

  • want to buy this phone, can anyone tell me if the phone works better and batt life

  • No,the p9 is much better.

  • Well , which phone would you suggest , if screen , processor and camera was the priority ?

  • Ya kinda,but dont think p9 is a weak seeing the price mayb the price of the two is similar bt p9 was huaweis flagship and a5.7 is samsungs normal mid ranger bttr to buy p9 if ur confused which to spend money on :)

  • I was thinking of buying the Samsung A5 2017 , are these phones comparable ?

  • I think both devices are pretty similar in terms of performance and specs. One thing you have to keep in mind is that Honor is made with glass, so it's much more fragile than P9. I think it's more a matter of taste. One thing about storage is that (my) P9 takes 6,9gb only for the system (Nougat), which lefts you with about 25gb.

  • And ya 32 gb is enough for ur apps tht u need since u dont play mch games ,and der is always sd card slot so for photos and music so 32 gb shud b absolutely fine for apps ,it will last long since ur using it for simple day to day stuffs

  • I dont think it wud b a gud idea to use a phone 3 years + ,i dono jst doesnt sound​ ryt 2 years is fyn ,anyway up to u, I wud say u choose p9 over honor 8 coz p9 has bttr chip bt also is safer i mean honor 8 is of glass so i dont think u want a fingerprint magnet or a scratched design

  • iemi.info and iemipro.info ....... but there are several other iemi checker sites that confirms the phone as P9, someone explained to me that several iemi checking sites may have not been updated yet

  • I don't know why this is happening but got me worried what site have you used & it's come up as not P9? I would love to know so I can try & see if it happens with mine

  • Hi I'm dilemma on choosing between p9 32 gb and honor 8 64gb (both same price). And I love to take photos but I don't many or heavy games. My question is does the 32 internal memory of p9 is really enough for all my apps since I can't transfer my apps to sd card...Well I plan to use this phone for 3 years plus...Can someone kindly give me a good advice? Thank you very much.

  • can anyone kindly explain why is it that whenever I input the IEMI of my P9 in any IEMI checking site, the phone comes out as Huawei Y530, but if I input the same number in Huawei's site, the phone comes out as P9 (much to my relief), but IEMI checking sites always says that most likely your phone is fake if it does not match the phone that you're checking up on, thank you very much for any replies

  • Ok final talks bout nougat i read a forum on this on xda like it was the exact same issue which m havin ,so suggested pc method with hauwei updater ,so yea tht guy gt successful so lets c hopefully all will b fine

  • So i chkd mayb it was a mistake updating to b220 instead of b210 ok leve tht so till nw i was tryin to update a firmware tht is older than my current firmware like b361 was released bfr b220 ,b361 is nxt update fr b210 ,so der is another b361 tht is nt nougat bt a optimization update so i tght i shud flash it nxt bt software failed instead ,i m like completly clue less and the above is all in my opinion about tht firmware old new thing ,hmm pls share ur experience

  • You can download the right firmware from here: I suggest you go from 4.1 to 4.1.1 (B135...D007) and then 4.1.1 to 5 (B360, full not OTA!). You can try newer versions aftewards (B380), but I didn't do it.

  • Can anybody help me about themes ,because I can't find any theme option like category, favorites mine etc only local themes. my phone model is eva-l09 search a lot but couldn't find any solution ...if anyone who know the solution plz help me... I don't want to sideload the themes just want my theme store

  • I tried the b361 and b385 firmware and both failed manually , i cant wait and i cant even update it myself ,using firmware finder dint help too ,waiting frever

  • Can u tell the steps pls i m waitiinnnggg frrrr sooo long

  • Dudes, I think anyone that doesn't receive OTA Nougat update can do the manual update using Huawei Updater. I did that yesterday and now I'm with Nougat on my C605. It's easy.

  • u is the first person i hear with this problem

  • wan u get the up date and how from root your phone ?

  • hi ever one like we not getting no up date we in April now. and still nothing

  • Yup..same here no update in Africa! They have let us down

  • Has anyone got the 7.0 update in the UK, it was meant to be released in Q1 yet i still haven't got it, Firmware finder developers are useless also

  • My second P9 and I have a new issue, when playing any sound (câmera, vídeo, even câmera), a loud noise sound starts, then stops, until second after starts again. it seems hardware. anybody has experienced that?

  • I would prefer the p9 if ur nt getin ur next mobile very soon ,coz u have to c the longetivity many have said at almst 6 mnths or so s7 gets slw,battery goes dwn quick and camera is slower,its up to u ,p9 is nt a headache i myself m usin since October2016 still snappy goin gud and think bout no one cares to take a pic in place wer der is no light at all so ya i wud still recommend it over p9 u wont regret

  • I'm using huawei p9... but galaxy s7 is far better than huawei p9, huawei p9 drawbacks camera isn't good in low light. no multitasking but they promised to give in nougat update but nobody knows when they are rolling out. No themes support just local themes or u can sideload but it's a real headache.

  • O want to buy a phone and am really trying to find out if Huawei P9 is as good as Galaxy S7, can someone give me a honest opinion?

  • I am trying to find a good Android phone and am thinking between Huawei P9 or Samsung Galaxy S7, do you think that the P9 is up to the S7 quality?

  • I'm waiting too.. EVA - L1901 85B220 don't know what it's the problem

  • I searched and I realize that my device (EVA-L19C605B135) hasnt received Nougat yet. Why dont they release to all devices at once?? Anybody have heard any rumors about when they're gonna release nougat update?

  • Hello, I bought an eva-l19, but I can't update it to EMUI 5, it says that are no updates available. Why?

  • You will get the update in April.As per Huawei India Twitter page..!

  • Totally satisfied with my P9. had mine since january 2017. perfomance is perfect. although, battery drains out a bit too quickly especially while using the camera. Nonetheless, I love it so much! been always a samsung user and this has been a fresh change for me so far. bdw, I've got nougat and EMUI 5.0 now. better than ever!

  • Its the last day or march ,huawei had said global rollout of nougat in q1 still no updates😞 how much longer huawei ,dint xpect this so slow in releasing updates , like most phones have already got it and releasing it for 2015 flagshiphis already ,i mean Huawei jst had last series of flagship to update p9 is nt even a year old and stil havent got any update soso disappointing ,i just dont want to manually i helped my friend do tht , firmware finder doesnt help wen i press update via system updater it shows 2 firmware number at once repeated nimbers and thn at the end update failed ,wat is goin onnn😭

  • P9 got 955 Chipset, compare to HONOR 8 got 950 Chipset.... Think about it...

  • Hello guys. I need your help. I can't decide about which phone to get. Oneplus 3 or P9 or Honor 8....? Plz help... I'm going to buy one on next Sunday....

  • Worst phone i've ever used,had the nova before this and its 10 times better!! Wifi connection sucks ,screen dims itself when browsing no eyecomfort mode the only good thing about this phone is the camera,its not worth the price they ask for...i regret buying it

  • I bought P9 almost a year ago and i must say performance is great. I had no issue with my device. Sound quality is also good while using headphones.

  • It depends on the usage..normal usage gives me atleast 2 days.:D

  • yup.a crush on apps like mobile legends fast battery draining need some update from nougat

  • I bought this 3 days ago..my problem is when im browsing photos by fingerprint makes little crash and switch to next pic. I updated phone to 7.0 very first day this fringerprint browsing works very well

  • u have manually updated or officially?

  • no issue of performance. the sound is too good in every way earphone, headphone,loudspeaker. camera is not good in low light conditions

  • got my.p9 nougat.in.box after.installing.greenfy the.sound.is.gone I cant play.music.too it requires restart is this.a bug .. overall the performance is so good ..

  • Performance is very good.Apps open fast,games like Injustice or Contest of champions run smooth with no lag or slowdown,the phone gets a little warm but after one hour of gaming I think is pretty clear.Of course I think there are better cameras in low light but during the day it is amazing:focusing is fast and pictures are wonderful.About the sound when using headphones I did not see any problem,they get loud,there is a little bass and I did not hear any sound distortion either.

  • Try to change it's brand info to sample as hardware L09 or L19, Region C185, C432, C636 and flash the corresponding firmware. Note: It's pretty hard and can lead your device bricked. --------------- At least I succeeded when changing from L19C636 to L09C432 (after experienced a number of failures).

  • I recently clicked in the update for my p9 and after that I often get a pop message that says invalid number every time I try to text a # and consequently wont let me even type a message, much more send it, tried rebooting but issue still persists ....is there a solution to this? Please help. Thanks much :-)

  • so, hows the performance so far? Any comment about the camera and the sound system? Ive read some bad feedback about the sound when using earphone.

  • Should I get the Huawei P9 or Galaxy A7(2017)? Please help

  • In battery saving options look if the battery saving feature is on because if it is it might be the source of the problem or check whatt apps close after the screen is locked.Hope this helps

  • It doesn't seem like it will would crack easily.I bough a tempered glass for around 3/4 dollars and it keeps it protected.If you watch bend test or scratch test it has a pretty common ressistance.On the other side,trying to find a perfect tempered glass for 2.5D smartphone is a real pain because none cover the screen entirely or if they do they are hard to find.

  • and how about the battery performance according to your usage?

  • thanks mate

  • Yes,it is ok,one step ahead.

  • Is there anyone who received Nougat update for Huawei P9 (L-19) verson in Pakistan? I haven't received yet and the 1st quarter is gonna end after 3 days.

  • Sure ..Its best phone in every aspect.

  • please check if your WIFI+ is on/off . If it is on then turn it off and you will not face any problem as WIFI+ continuously look for connections with better signal strength which can be the cause of your problem.

  • Hahahaha I'm pity on you mate. You're the only one saying that this a STUPID PHONE.. Open your yours eyes and read all those GOOD feedbacks on this awesome phone... This is the BEST Android phone that ive ever had....I feel for you 😅😅😅&#128­517;😅

  • Check for firmware update.

  • should i buy this one over galaxy C7??

  • P9 or Samsung C7? please guide me :(

  • i got my P9 recently everything works fine atm but except the wifi connection, it was great when fresh but then becoming real bad recently it just couldn't stick still to a connection, it goes on and off frequently, interrupting any download, i had no choice but turn to data, it works fine but cost extra to me anyone know what is the issue?

  • it could be an app misbehaving, use your phone in safe mode. if it's happening in safe mode as well then it can be hardware issue.

  • Hello there, I bought the chinese premium edition (EVA-AL10) recently and I got a huge issue with push notifications not getting through. They only arrived if the app was running in the background. I've tested with WhatsApp and nothing worked, I turn every permission on and nothing. I loved the device and now I'm afraid to get a new (international version) P9 or P9 lite. Any thoughts?

  • Should i go for iphone 6 or huaweiP9?

  • There is an error in orientation senser on p9 .my screen won't rotating.affter the restart it's work again . Is it hardware error

  • done upgrading from android 6 to 7 nougat few days ago , like huawei said they put more simplicity feel and clean look on their ui , the battery is more reliable for daily use for me about 50% can use up to 4 hours normal use , i got cool water combining bootanimation to .. moreover the splitscreen help me wif my daily use incase i wanna play game and use whatsapp at same time . notification bar / widget more simple n easy to use . little performance increase in gallery while loading massive new taken picture . twin app is the most exciting feature that i like wif this new update . overall thumbs up for huawei for this big update

  • It's the worst phone I have ever had...I hate this phone and I will never suggest it to anyone to buy. I bought it and it is now a big regret. The recent update is a big shit, it changed everything on my phone. I regret buying this stupid phone.

  • It's a fantastic phone. Above s7 and its competitors especially because of the software. Also the camera, if you know how to use it, it's outstanding.

  • After upgrade from Android 6 to 7 phone battery drain fast. What the hell

  • can any one give suggestion huawei p9 or oppp r9s..oppo has bigger ram and internal storage. but what i 'm most concern is the camera.. did oppo r9s camera stand out against p9 which have leica..or should i wait for p10

  • Good phone as just a phone Wifi overloads system keeps failing had mine back to manufacturer 4 times phone replaced once problem still there my carrier has decided to swap to another brand for me as a phone they are alright but if you use your WiFi conection for printing or surfing expect it to fail

  • Galaxy s7. I wish I didn't read the youtube comments. Huawei's glass is terrible! Galaxy s7 is way more stronger

  • note 5 or p9 ? which to buy?

  • Galaxy s7 or huawei p9?

  • Go with the P9. Excellent camera if you know how to use it. Sony makes great cameras too, but not on their smartphones. And from samsung, S7 has a very good camera .

  • Do not buy lg g5 has a very serious bootloop issue

  • P9

  • Hi all, trying to decide whether to buy Sony Xperia X Performance, a Huawei P9 or a Samsung A5 2017.. I want the one with the best camera?

  • Or you should say sony imx286

  • Can this phone handle heavy games? I am a heavy gamer. I would have gone with oneplus3, but it has a crappy camera. Does p9 smoothly runs heavy games, without lag or framedrops?

  • hi, I really find it enjoyable and far far the best phone ever in my life. worth it to by, you wont be regret it. perfect for gamers, for anyone hwo likes takes photos! great pictures you got. incridible fast charging! nothing problem since I got one, about 6 mounths.

  • Hi guys! So I found plenty of offers regarding the P9 from people who got it free from their contracts,most of them going for less than 350 Euros and was wondering if it is worth buying it now.I have to mention that the phone comes sealed along with a 2 year warranty(plus Huawei VIP warranty) and the receipt/bill of buying.Thanks for your help

  • After update Android 7 battery drain faster than Android 6

  • May i know what games have you tried? Thanks

  • Is the Huawei P9 excellent for gaming? Like for graphics demanding games?

  • I have been using p9 for almost 8 months and never faced with any problems until now. A few days ago ı noticed that its flash and assistive light stopped working, does anyone know why it might be?

  • Something wrong with your P9. Mine charge really fast, it gives me 44% of battery in 30 minutes.. I love this Phone than any Samsung or any Android phone that's out there...

  • charging doesn't slow down while using it.. It's discharging while charging..just by browsing the internet with the with the wi fi turned on

  • The default charger which comes with the phone is not a fast charger. You may have to purchase a fast charger separately. And yeah, seems like charging slows down when you are using it while charging.

  • P9 is surprisingly great. far better than any same priced samsung phone.

  • Hi, I have bought the P9 2 days ago and I ve noticed that it charges really slow. More than that it's discharg while it's charging if I use it. I like the phone but I am thinking of returning it if this is a common issue. It is supposed to have fast charging.. 44% in 30 min..is it mine broken or is this something normal??

  • P9

  • Got the nougat update yesterday and love new features like split screen. But the overall UI was better looking on Marshmallow with EMUI 4.1 than in EMUI 5.0.

  • If I upgrade P9 to a 7.0 Nougat, is it a must to take out my micro sad card so not to loose all my files thats in there. Thank u...

  • Can anyone suggest should I go for Huawei P9 or Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime???

  • transfer all your data, backup your contacts sms etc other data , take your sd card out then Try formatting your phone to its factory settings..(factory reset/soft reset). if it don't work then it is something Huawei has implemented on its new rom and either you have to live with it or you have to look for a work around for it. And you should not take your device to a service center if their is nothing to repair. They will just feed off on your money and might even harm your device. just contact global helpline of Huawei from their website and get in contact with them and they will find a way for you. just try formatting before you contact them as there is 50% chance that formatting your phone will fix this issue for you.

  • how do you re format an SD card?

  • Pl suggest me p9 or p9 plus...

  • I live in Europe and I have a P9. I got my update 2 days ago and i'm really impressed. Everything is working fine, no bugs, Emui 5.0 is really an UPdate. It's nicer and cleaner than the Emui 4.1. The best thing is the battery life is much better for me, than before the update.

  • I forgot to remove my SD card before updating my P9 to 7.0. After updating to 7.0, my SD Card got corrupted. It said that I have to reformat it. I can't recover the files anymore. I tried using PC with 3rd party USB recovery software, but it wont get detected. Finally, I decided to re-formate my SD card. After that I lost everything I saved on it. Lesson learned the hardway... :(

  • HI, I am Huawei user from Myanmar. Now I am using P9, ram 3GB. When I update new version 7.0, I found a Problem that I can't open screen lock once. When I open the screen lock, firstly I must use fingerprint and then types password twice. Before using version 7.0, I am ok to use fingerprint, no need to type password again. If I don't use screen lock software, it is ok a little. Next problem is that I can't use app lock with fingerprint. First time, it is ok. without closing screen, next time when I open app locked, no need to use with fingerprint. it is problem for me. Please I want you reply to me immediately how i should solve those problems. Yours user

Majority of the problems in the UI is fixed in the next nougat update,which has EMUI 5.0. waiting for the update... Overall its a wonderful phone.

  • phone p9 huawei phone is just frozen.. any one knows how to reboot it and get it back to normal??

  • phone keeps freezing.. and there is nothing that i can do to switch of the phone.. can anyone help me on this?

  • Hi guys. I`m really unsure what to choose between huawei p9 and oneplus 3T. Any advice?

  • Try turning the light on and take the picture instead of flashing. Red eye results because the eyes' pupils are dilated before the flash fires causing the retina to reflect light from the flash. Shining light before the shot makes the subject's pupils constrict prior to the shot reducing red eye effect.

  • Facing issues with the latest 4.1.2 upgrade now when i connect my phone with the cable my laptop is not detecting the internal memory its just showing it as CD drive option .. Looks like this update needs another patch update to rectify the troubles .. anyone else facing issues with the 4.1.2 update ???

  • I am facing similar issue after the upgrade now when i connect the phone to my computer i am not able to access the internal memory its showing device not detectable and also the hisuite software is working weird ... Anyone else having similar issues after the EMUI 4.1.2 Update ???

  • Hi, how do you eliminate redeye when taking low light pictures on todlers with P9? I always get red or glaring eyes on todlers specially when I take a picture of them and they look straight at the flash.

  • Which one is effective Huawei Mate 9 or Huawei P9?

  • the p9 battery is better.

  • Thank you very much!

  • Double click the volume down key twice!

  • Guys,I am trying to decide these days between P9 and Lenovo Zuk Z2.Can you help me?

  • Is there a camera shortcut? I can't find any info about that. For example: on a OnePlus X, double pressing the power button starts the camera; on some LG phones holding the volume down button starts the camera. Is there a shortcut like that?

  • I am from Malaysia and I used the code for my country. I dont think it is applicable outside my country since it will have different code

  • An update is supposed to bring more enhancements and improve the phone functioning not the opposite. After receiving the 4.1.2 firmware update last week, Huawei P9 is slower, lost an additional 20% of its already limited internal storage and the battery is draining very fast. Huawei, we need an "update for the update" if your Nougat for the P9 is still delayed.

  • How

  • The device now is upgradable to nougat but it doesnt appear in update. So I updated it manually using beta version

  • Can you advice me on a good cover for the p9

  • Has nougat update been released??

  • why no radio?

  • Currently using P9 for 2 weeks. Great performance, superb camera quality (Leica the best!), battery also can last quite longer than I expected. I have updated to Nougat along with Emui 5.0. Now, I own a wonderful phone in my hand. The performance is better than Marshmallow. Go for P9 guys. You won't regret it.

  • P9 even beats S7, what more The S6... P9 is the best android phone at the moment...

  • Go for P9 It won't let you down

  • Great front camera, you can selfie in a dark or no light at all, but the result is crystal clear same as Front Camera.. I love this phone.. Good Job Huawei

  • Great phone, really...

  • can any body help, which is better camera Huawei P9 or Honor 8? I heard that P9 has been discontinued in Pakistan and Honor 8 is available. But Honor 8 camera does not seem good.

  • Nexus 6p or p9? Need a durable phone with good gaming performance

  • Huawei p9 or xiaomi mi 5s plus ???. Any suggestion?

  • L.O.L...

  • Oppo F1s ??? vs Hiawei P9 . Are you joking. You compare flagship and midrange. MediaTek MT6750 chipset vs HiSilicon Kirin 955 ??? You campare Mercedes S500 vs C220CDI

  • Should I buy Huawei P9 or Oppo F1s ??? I really confuse about this two

  • I've had this phone for about a month now. It is 100x better then the iPhone. I regularly use Facebook. Instagram, Viber etc and have had not a single problem. There's no way I'll go back to the iPhone now

  • Where is the best online site to buy the phone?? like amazon or ebay or any other??

  • Hi, can someone answer me if p9 dont have any problems for apps like facebook , messenger, ig, viber, whatsapp?? help anyone :-)

  • Please help, Samsung Galaxy S6 or Huawei P9 ?

  • I wanted to know how the battery performs after 1 year of use. My Samsung android phone's battery started deteriorating after 2 years of use. it's dropping like 10% only after half an hour of browsing internet. I suspect most Android phones are the same but hardly heard about battery issue on iphone.

  • Huawei P9 Owner here, love it and never gets bored. Really fast and customizable interface. Huawei Theme gives free neat icons of your choice. You can hide apps by doing a pinch-out gesture at the screen. Given the specs and price. The price is reasonable compared to samsung, sony and iPhone. Camera quality is amazing. All in all. 10/10.

  • slovenia

  • good luck bro :)

  • what country are you from?

  • Slovenia

  • would you prefer oppo R9s or huawei P9?

  • in sha Allah i'm gonna be a proud owner of Huawei P9 on sunday!!!i'm really excited!

  • Yeah, Mi5 is also a very good phone and if you can get the 128 gb internal memory with 4 gb ram than its one of the best phone out there!

  • Hi. Which country?

  • Xiaomi Mi5 is a good choice too.

  • Its a great mobile phone with corning gorilla glass 3

  • Though I don't own an Oppo R9s but I've used both these phone and according to my user experince, both these phones are fantastic. R9s has 4k video recording and the selfie/secondary camera is of much higher quality. But P9 has a better display, better chipset and gpu and also the cpu is much faster than Oppo R9s'. So if you are a camera guy with everyday use and casual gaming, then go for Oppo R9s. But if you want to play high graphics demanding games and multimedia/entertainment then go for P9. Cheers and hope it helps you!

  • I would say P9 is a better phone overall!

  • Choose P9 if you want: (1) Better Camera (2) Better And Various Function Fingerprint (3) Higher Generation USB (type C 1.0) Choose A9 if you want: (1) Bigger Battery (2) Bigger Screen (3) Better Display maybe Now, its your choice. Hope it helps!

  • P9 is a better option. Because J7 prime is a midranger but P9 is a flagship phone. Also, camera wise P9 has much better camera quality than J7 prime. But, P9's UI might not be everyone's taste. So, afterall it's your choice, but I would say go for P9. I got P9 recently and its just amazing!

  • samsung galaxy j7 prime or p9?

  • Can anyone give any suggestion i am in dillema either huawei p9 or samsung a9. which one is better ??

  • Just updated to android 7.0 and it's faster then android 6.0

  • Does anyone know when will be the Naugat update for P9?

  • I would go with the Z5, well because its a reliable robust device any rumour you hear is false. I have it and I love it. The camera has been known to be rated bad or subpar. Thats because the manual mode is necessary. With the correct it takes amazing photos. Im not hating on the P9. It is also a very good phone

  • Much appreciate - fastest finger scan I`d ever seen. Using this phone for 6month, can tell, that its very very good! When phone memory become >90% it start lagging, but think that happens with every one. I using two SIM, that is very handy.

  • budies i would like to buy a phone, VIVO V5 or huawei P9? how u all advise?

  • Definitely P9. I was a Sony fan but i now recommend Huawei ever since i got P9 as my first huawei phone after owning a few sony phones. Sony phones are stable and smooth (great battery life with in-house stamina mode) but the camera is never good enough despite great sensors due to bad code algorithim (had Xperia Mini and Xperia Z; tried friend's Xperia Z2; hearing friend's Xperia Z5 aexperience) and it is overpriced in my opinion. Huawei on the other hand has a quite decent camera (losing just slightly behind iphone and samsung). UI is smooth too. And reasonable pricing.

  • Z5 for sure, it is already upgradable to Nougat, the selfy camera is below average but everything else is so great, especially the primary camera, and don't forget the waterproof, dual front facing stereo speakers.... good luck :)

  • You can find both normal version (3gb/32 gb) and premium version (4gb/64 gb) in Malaysia. Premium version is more rare though. They cost abt rm 300-400 apart.

  • Hey guys, So, I'm going to buy a phone within a week and pretty confused between Xperia Z5 and Huawei P9. Please tell me which is an overall better phone and also which phone will be getting android 7 earlier. Thanks in Advance!!

  • Hi..i just start using huawei p9 about 1 week ago and also using new telco..but i cant connected with 4G..at first i thought problem with the coverage or the new sim card but i tried insert the sim card to other phone and it can get 4G..so its not problem with coverage or the sim card either..have anyone encounter the same problem before? And im from malaysia😅

  • Hey,Huawei P9 in Malaysia Is 3 Gb Ram 32 Gb Memory Or 4 Gb Ram 64 Gb Because People Say Different Only P9 Plus is 4 Gb Ram Answer Pls

I enjoy the performance of the video of this phone and of course the camera is superb and a real stunner... Audio Quality with or without headset is almost perfect, Honestly I didn't expect the audio or Music player of this phone is that GOOD as I didn't expect it...GOOD JOD P9

  • Go for Titanium grey it's more looks beauty than mystic silver ., silver is too bright while grey is just right

  • I'm confused on which color to buy. Is mystic silver better than titanium grey??

  • which one should i buy, p9 or xiaomi mi5s? i am a heavy gamer. likes to take picture, but not that much. also heard p9 has bad video quality, but mi5s has 4k. also want a phone with good headphone audio quality. some how i feel p9 is overrated (i guess due to its publicity stunts) my htc m8 was stolen, hoping to get a good device. please suggest

  • Go for P9 it won't let you down... This phones beats SAMMY, Lg Expedia and rest thats out there

  • I really like this phone but don't know why in our country Saudi Arabia why the prices drops for this phone in just 2 months. Even 6 gb ram version not get introduced here. Even the peoples starts selling this phone after 1 week of usage... I'm Confused !

  • I love the feature of this phone.. but, there's some glitch using facebook messenger.. its not working properly...

  • Where is nougat for eva-l19

  • if you want to update it manual, just follow the steps from this link You must have EVA-L09C432B182. I followed the steps from that link and now I'm running EMUI 5.0 on my P9 and I don't have any problem with the phone, all I can say EMUI 5.0 it's much faster than 4.1.1, I just love it

  • I'm using an LG G4 currently and no doubt it's the best phone I've owned, till today it's working without a single lag and issue but I'm afraid it'll get the boot loop problem soon.. Idk if I should get a Galaxy S7, Xperia Z5, Huawei P9, LG G5 or galaxy S6 edge plus now

  • When will nougat and emui 5.0 will release in India, despo waiting for it. Love the phone its amazing...

  • I gave up honor 8 giving me problem on gps and cannot received call

  • any major differences between huawei p9 and huawei honor 8 in manual mode camera? still in dilema between this phone

  • P9 kicks the ass out of S7... P9 is a real beauty and a stunner. Go for it mate

  • Im using this phone for a month now and I'm so grateful with its battery performance. I'm a heavy internet user. I started using it witn 100% in the morning and still about 20% left at night before I go to bed and charge it for the following day...

  • hey there.. i got P9 and I can absolutely assure you that battery back up is good. I'm a heavy user and playing mobile legends a lot but I can still have my battery last for a day.. screen on time for my usage is always 4.5 - 5 hours(with games) but when It's music and internet always on then my screen on time is for 5 - 5.5 hours(with 10% left before charging it)

  • I found this today and I updated exactly as is written by the word and it's working for me, my phone it's more responsive for the moment. I think it's only for EVA-L09C432B182. Hope this is good for someone

  • Please any user share the battery performance. I am using s6 but I am not satisfied with battery

  • From Romania bro

  • from what country are you man? I'm Jealous, been waiting for that update...:(

  • i have updated to nougat and it's WOWW....thx Huawei for a good and steady platform along EMUI 5.0 !!!

  • yes , with nougat u can split the screen

  • nice copy paste

  • still no. may be with nougat

  • I agree fully. Huawei P9 beats Samsung S7 hands down!!!

  • I didn't regret choosing P9 over S7 as this phone is a real beauty in so many aspects that's on it... HUAWEI P9 you're a real Stunner...

  • Could you please give us some hints and tips how to use the PRO CAMERA Settings so we can fully enjoy more of this magnificent phone... Thanks

  • Actually, there's no split screen on P9 as far as I know.

  • There is still no official release for the Nougat for P9. It's still on beta I believe. Though I hope they release it this year and see what it can offer.

  • I absolutely agree with you mate.. There was never been a dull moment for me using this Awesome Phone.... P9 by so far is the best ever phone that I used....

  • Is this model Huawei P9 supports split screen/ dual screen mode??

  • Is this model supports split screen/ dual screen mode?

  • Owned this phone P9 for one week, here are my thoughts: 1) Battery: Fair battery. When idling, 0.2% per hour drops versus >1% per hour drops if you switch on wifi. Camera will drain your battery almost as fast as your charging speed. 2) Camera: Impressive camera I must say. Image quality is superb on daylight and only satisfactory at night, due to its absence of image stabilisation. Pro mode provides you endless possibility as you could do with your dslr. It has the top notched camera lens that is almost resistant to lens flare in the most challenging situation. 3) The emui is very smooth, seldom stutter, and provide some quirky but nevertheless useful function e.g. ultrasnap. I am a fan of iOS style icons as well. 4) Curved screen edge, it is nice to touch and look, but pain in the ass to find a good screen protector that is compatible. 5) Borderline bad speaker, but it is expected for a phone. Its earphones makes up for the shortcoming, but I still prefer earbuds. 6) 3GB is not enough for a flagship phone, 4GB is the average now. I can feel the slowdown in switching apps when heavy multitasking. 7) Efficient Kirin CPU, never heats up. Verdict: I never regret buying this phone, but there is still room for improvement on battery life when wifi is on. Android system always occupy 30% of battery usage, and still do until now despite several workarounds.

  • Do update your p9 from marshmallow to nougat?

  • I've been using the P9 since November and here are my thoughts: 1. Excellent, superb camera and can surpass other brands IF you know how to use the Pro Mode. I've been using the camera more often especially the one in Pro Mode and I found out that its functionality is sooooo limitless. You have no idea how I'm very much pleased with it. It's also a fun camera, though I really do prefer that you use the Pro Mode so that you can appreciate it more because I do. I also love the simple design of the gallery and its editing features but if you're not contented with the editing capabilities of the default one, I suggest you download an application such as Photo Director. Very helpful indeed. The selfie camera is awesome, just don't beautify yourself or you'll look like weird and funny looking. Light Painting is spectacular. It takes a lot of practice though but it's worth it. Monochrome is breathtaking. More light and more boundless than the colored. 2. Smart assistance is such a great feature. Very impressive indeed, though Voice Control for calling and such can be quite challenging sometimes since it can have difficulty recognizing my voice sometimes but it's a minor issue. 3. The Fingerprint scanner is a pleasure to have. Very useful and convenient. Just don't let it have moisture for it might not function well. Though if it happens, just wipe it with your shirt or any clean cloth or tissue and it will function normally again. 3. Battery life is fairly good indeed. Mobile Data consumes a lot of battery, while bluetooth seems to eat less battery so I believe it's good for bluetooth headset or speakers. Camera also consumes a lot depending on your use. Charging time is fairly good as well. You might not noticed it, but it's fairly fast. It took me like 2 hours approximately depending on the amount of battery left before charging. 4. Phone Control is AWESOME! Thanks to it, I can optimize my phone from battery to system function to maintain good condition and to increase battery life even for a few minutes or hours. The Mobile Data setting seems to be innacurate sometimes but the good thing is that it has a mobile data limiter so that you'll know the approximate amount of data used, for awareness. 5. Video is fairly good for stills. I suggest you use a tripod used for DSLR and you'll understand what I mean. 6. Music player is simply satisfying for me. I can even play FLAC with it and it really amazes me more. Very clean sound even with speakers on. I suggest you use FLAC or any high bitrate music format to maximize the capability of it. 7. Surfing the net is a breeze as long as you have fast mobile data or wifi but I suggest that you use wifi for updating your apps. 8. Regarding Gmail, I have difficulty signing in but alternatively there's the Email built-in application. Very useful. 9. Build quality is beautifully crafted. I bought a Ringke case and tempered glass just in case. Though without the case, simply touching the phone is very pleasing. Such premium quality. 😀 10. Software is user-friendly. Better explore it to believe it. So yeah, these are my thoughts. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes a serious but fun phone. Wat? 😁 P.S. THIS IS A SUBJECTIVE OPINION. You might disagree or agree and that's okay with me, but I really do believe this phone is awesome. Cheers to all P9 and P9 users and soon-to-be users! Thank you Huawei for the wonderful phone. Looking forward to it.

  • Been using the Huawei P9 since November.

  • Huawei p9 is the future I'm using it and I'm so madly in love with it. Can't trade it for anything else and the features are sublime

  • Yes, I was trying to do, I'm guessing just by using bluetooth

  • What you think guys p9 or mate 8?

  • Lg g5 has ghost screen issue..you can search on google.. And brightness level is very low compare to p9

  • Can you suggest a better phone. Huawei p9 or LG G5 SE guys?

  • video recording is smooth with clean sound. video playpack and youtube runs with no lag.

  • How do you find the video on this phone...cannot decide between this and s7..

  • you can grab emui 4.1.2 with january security update and with few other optimizations. download from playstore "Firmware Finder" from Team MT.

  • agree with you ... i have both s7 and p9 (and p9 lite). p9 is the best

  • only p9 plus have ir blaster. regular p9 doesn't

  • p9 is better ... s7 is not optimized and nougat update is very slow

  • I have just got the P9.... I was using the Note4 and loved it. I thought it was time for a change and am loving my new phone. The only problem is that i need to download a smart remote app and apparently the phone doesn't have a built in IR Blaster .... how do i get around this problem without paying the earth. Or could you suggest an app that supports HuaweiP9

  • The Dual SIM version we bought here in Europe has dual _active_ mode.

  • Well Huawei is very much humble with its P9 unlike Samsung which is very agressive in ads, but user experience in a device is important..I have P9 myself, battery is Good it can last a day or two, the EMUI has better functions, and with excellent camera.

  • nougat7 and emui5 still not seeding ota here in the philippines

  • HUAWEI when will we have the upadate here in PH for the Android Nougat 7 and EMUI5 for our P9?

  • HAWAEI P9: I truly did my homework on this phone before buying it as I was after a decent camera phone. Well I only had it less than two months when problems started. The camera itself is inferior to my previous Samsung S5. Quality if pics much duller and not as defined quality wise. BUT I started noticing that the headset icon kept coming on and the only way I cold listen to my phone calls or watch a video was to plug a headset in. That cleared up, but then it stayed on half charge for two days and wouldn't charge up let alone stay turned on even when plugged in. Took it back in immaculate condition, much to the shops shock. Believe me they looked or it with a fine toothed comb. They sent it in for a check up only to be told it was not worth repairing as it had massive water damage. I have not been near water! It sat in my back pocket at work so I could use the pedometer on it. I did notice that when I went to use the fingerprint ID it had slight moisture on it and had to be wiped before it would acknowledge my finger print. Absolutely overrated product.

  • p9 or nova plus or infinix zero 4 ???

  • i have the s7 edge i think it's better than the p9

  • I'm between S7 and P9, what is the better option?

  • ....very good optimized....super job.i can not say anything bad.

  • Wow! Glad to hear it from you, pls. post more about your experience with the new AN7 and EMUI5...We dont have it yet here in PH.

  • sure it could last a day or two with heavy use.

  • Hi Zaido, I am a zenfone 3 5.2 variant user and trying to look about p9 reviews. Zenfone 3 is great for capturing photos ( 8 mp front and 16 mp rear cam) and videos with 4k stabilization.

  • ....android 7 is super and emui 5 is nice and very smooth

  • .....and now downloading android 7 and emui 5

  • nope i dont care

  • emui 4.1.2 is out with january security update and few others things.

  • go for one plus 3t

  • P9 got 955 Chipset HONOR 8 got 950 Chipset... it's your choice now...

  • It's normal for most phones, don't worry. :) In that way he is just keeping the battery.

  • i have xperia x and i was asking about p9 is it much better:)

  • I would love to, but here the honor 8 is not available (not where I can use the insurance), Its a beautiful phone but if it's too fragile I'll probably destroyv it soon so, I'll wait to see the price of the Mate 9 (It will be released here this Thursday, so exited!) If it's too high I'll go for the P9, thanks n.n

  • Wow. The best chipset Hisilicon kirin after Snapdragon

  • 606 dollars for P9 is mighty expensive. I would look into the Honor 8, if you can get it for considerably less (say under 500). Apart from the CPU, it is almost identical to P9 in terms of specs, plus it has 4 GB of ram. Just make sure you also get a case + tempered glass protector as the phone is more fragile.

  • Hey guys, I am considering this phone to replace my Lumia 640XL. Which one would be better , Huawei P9 or Zenfone 3? Also from the reviews I saw in youtube, most reviewers said that the video recording quality is poor. Can somebody tell me or at least compare the quality of the video of this over Lumia 640 XL. Although I don't record videos that often, I would like at least average video recording qaulity, I find my phone's(Lumia 640XL) video recording to be great even without OIS or DIS(now it has with camera app updates). I am really leaning towards this phone at the moment, but before I make a decision I'm doing my best on researching about this. I have tried this phone once at a Concept store, but I forgot to try out the video. Was busy playing with aperture mode :D. Anyways, thank you in advance. :)

  • I had a Huawei p8 and I bought the Xperia xz and i love it..

  • Which one is better between p9 and oneplus 3t?
