<blockquote>

<p>Huawei has been a walk in the overseas <strong>high-end fashion coffee art</strong> style, P9 in London April 6 and P9 plus almost no urine point of the entire conference, not only<strong>invited to "re-linking" and "Superman" to help out</strong> , and forthrightly Samsung and Apple product features and comparing data (si) (bi). After every tear, the scene of the brightest reporters and editors are applauded ...</p>

<blockquote>

<p>'At the Huawei P9 phone launch in London's Battersea on Wednesday 6 April the Chinese company made a lot of noise about its new camera features. And for good reason: it's the only company to brandish Leica co-engineering and a unique dual camera arrangement (other makers have dual cameras, but not with one as a black-and-white-only monochrome sensor).'</p>

<blockquote>

<p>'I tried my best to understand the exact details of Leica and Huawei's partnership on the camera system of the P9. Huawei's announcement says only that the two cameras have "Leica certification." When asked what that actually meant, the Chinese company said that it was developed through "a co-engineering process." When asked what that meant, the company said that they worked together. Given Leica's willingness to cynically rebrand (and then overprice) Panasonic cameras, I have to be dubious about the value of this partnership until either company discloses some substantive benefits from it.'</p>
