Huawei P9 Lite Officially Launched With 13-Megapixel Camera

Huawei’s third P9 variant, the P9 Lite, has finally been launched. As per a report, the P9 Lite has been officially launched in Germany at EUR 299 (approximately Rs.22,500), and can continue sale in May 2016.

The launch was reported by German web site Teltarif. The Huawei P9 lite comes with lots of identical specifications as the original Huawei P9 although there are some variations also. very similar to the Huawei P9, the P9 lite features a 5.2-inch full-HD (1080×1920 pixels) display. The android 6.0 Marshmallow-based Huawei P9 lite runs emotion 4.1 UI. The smartphone is powered by an octa-core (1.7GHz quad-core + 2GHz quad-core) Kirin 650 processor including 3GB of RAM. there’s 16GB of storage that is expandable via microSD card (up to 128GB).

The P9 lite doesn’t bear the dual-rear camera setup of the Huawei P9 or P9 plus, and instead sports a 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera. To recall, the ‘dual-lens camera’ by Huawei in the P9 and P9 plus sports two 12-megapixel sensors, with one capturing light in color, and the other in monochrome. The dual-lens camera setup combined with contrast, depth, and laser auto-focus systems is said to provide sharp, elaborated shots in both good light and low light conditions. the twin lenses sport an f/2.2 aperture. Since the launch but, much controversy has arisen regarding the extend of Leica’s involvement in the P9’s camera, that it supposedly “co-engineered”.

Much like the Huawei P9 and P9 plus, the P9 lite sport a fingerprint scanner at the rear. The P9 lite is backed by a 3000mAh battery, same as the Huawei P9. The smartphone supports LTE Cat. 6 and alternative connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS/ A-GPS, GPRS/ EDGE, 3G, and Micro-USB.

Unfortunately, there’s no word whether the Huawei P9 lite will be launched in more markets other than Europe.

Reacting to the above mentioned controversy regarding the P9’s rear camera, Leica and Huawei have released a joint statement trying to put a stop to speculation. in the release, Huawei claimed that the camera module on the P9 series achieves great image quality that is a result of collaboration between Huawei and Leica.

“Leica has been deeply involved in the development of the camera-module of the P9 and P9 plus,” noted the company in the release. The statement, while vague, may be the only official response we get about the origins of the rear cameras on the P9 and P9 plus.
