HiSilicon Kirin 955Chipset 32 GB, 3 GB RAM (EVA-L19/EVA-L09) / 64 GB, 4 GB RAM (EVA-L29)RAM & Storage Dual 12 MP, f/2.2, 27 mm, Leica optics, phase detection autofocus, dual-LED (dual tone) flashRear Camera Non-removable Li-Ion 3000 mAh batteryBattery

Dual rear cameras built with Leica optics set the P9 apart from most phones in its class, both sitting at 12MP with an f/2.2 aperture for sharper detail and better low-light shots. Powering things is Huawei's own Kirin 955 chipset, an octa-core setup pairing 2.5GHz and 1.8GHz cores with a Mali-T880 MP4 GPU, enough muscle for everyday multitasking and games. The 5.2-inch Full HD display packs in 423 ppi, so text and photos stay crisp on IPS-NEO LCD panel.

Storage comes in two flavours: 3GB RAM with 32GB storage, or 4GB RAM with 64GB, and there's a microSD slot for another 128GB if you need it. Huawei P9 price in Malaysia starts from RM1229, positioning it as a mid-upper option rather than a flagship-priced device.

The 3000 mAh battery isn't huge by today's standards, but it's paired with a Type-C port for faster charging and data transfer. Round it out with a fingerprint sensor, NFC on select variants, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box, and you've got a phone built for buyers who care more about camera quality than raw battery size.
