Huawei P9 Max smartphone lit up in the benchmark

Autonomous work

Huawei P9 Lite has a 3000 mAh battery. With continuous HD video playback (maximum screen brightness, system in Flight mode), the smartphone lasted seven hours – this is a good result. But during the day, the charge, nevertheless, has to be saved, albeit without the need to give up everything.

The gadget lasts until the evening (or almost until the evening), if you use it for communication, on the Internet, in social networks and as a camera. More than once, software power-saving modes came in handy, capable of extending the work of the gadget for an hour or two. In sleep mode, if the smartphone is not used, it is discharged by no more than a couple of percent per night. And as a gaming platform, Huawei P9 Lite is not very autonomous: a quarter of the charge, or even more, takes an hour of play.

Appearance and ergonomics

The flagship from Huawei has got a very stylish and ergonomic design. The metal body strongly resembles its predecessor, retaining the glorious traditions. The design of the device is smooth, and the extremely compact size maximizes the convenience associated with operation. There is also fashionable 2.5D glass.

All aluminum edges are carefully rounded and polished. At the same time, there are side 3 mm frames on both sides of the display. The assembly was excellent. On the back side there is not only the already familiar fingerprint scanner, but also an interesting block in the upper part made of glossy plastic, which accommodates the Leica logo, a flash and two cameras at once. Huawei P9 dimensions: height – 145 mm, width – 71 mm, thickness – 7 mm, weight – 144 g. Case colors: mystical silver, titanium gray and gold.

Display

The manufacturer decided to equip the Huawei P9 model with a 5.2-inch screen with an effective anti-glare coating. It uses an IPS matrix (InCell technology) with Full HD resolution. Due to the increased contrast, the display does not fade at all in the bright sun, although the brightness could be higher. The image is very rich and juicy. Gorilla Glass 4 protects the screen from damage.

Hardware and performance

Depending on the version of Huawei P9, the amount of memory may vary. It can be a variant with 3 GB of RAM 32 GB of internal storage, or a solution with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of free space. If this is not enough, then the storage for files is expanded by microSD cards up to 128 GB. The heart of the P9 is the Kirin 955 chip, which consists of eight cores.

With the performance of the gadget, everything is in order, since no brakes are observed. Such a favorable picture will continue in the future, because the processor has a solid headroom for the future. In AnTuTu, the P9 scores 94,000 points.
