Conclusion
Huawei P9 plus also released along with P9. So, anyone thinking of buying P9 must compare both the P9 and P9 plus before you decide to buy either of the ones. When to look alone this Huawei P9, I feel the camera is the selling point. It got a lot of features with the Leica technology. 3GB RAM itself an enough memory in a smartphone nowadays. The Processor is a power beast.
But after all, we have to look the value of the smartphone with the price we pay in. It is selling approximately 599 euros for the 3GB variant and 649 euros for the 4GB variant. If you don’t care the price when you buy a premium product, then go with this (after comparing to P9 Plus).
