On June 9th, Huawei Japan announced that it would release SIM lock-free Android smartphones "HUAWEI P9" and "HUAWEI P9 lite" in Japan on June 17th. The estimated selling price is 59,800 yen for the P9 and 29,980 yen for the P9 lite (both excluding tax). Both models will be sold at the company's official online store "V Mall", as well as major electronics retailers, web shopping sites, and MVNOs (mobile virtual network operators).
The P9 is Huawei's new flagship smartphone announced in London on April 6 (local time). As an out camera, it is equipped with a 12-megapixel dual camera jointly developed with Leica. The main feature is the ability to take high-quality photos. The in-camera uses an 8-megapixel sensor.
In Japan, a single SIM / NFC compatible model called "EVA-L09" will be sold. This model is available in three colors, Prestige Gold, Mystic Silver, and Titanium Gray, but in Japan, only two colors are available, excluding Prestige Gold.
P9 (Mystic Silver)P9 (Titanium Gray)The processor is HiSilicon's "HUAWEI Kirin 955" (CPU part is 2.5GHz 4-core + 1.8GHz 4-core) adopted. It has 3GB of main memory and 32GB of internal storage. External storage supports microSDXC up to 128GB. The display is 5.2 inches and is equipped with an IPS liquid crystal with full HD (1080 x 1920 pixels) resolution.
The battery has a capacity of 3000mAh and cannot be replaced by the user. Continuous standby time is about 566 hours on LTE/W-CDMA networks and about 526 hours on GSM networks, and continuous talk time is about 18 hours when using W-CDMA and about 33 hours when using GSM. The time is also based on the manufacturer's research).
The OS is Android 6.0, combined with Huawei's unique user interface "Emotion UI 4.1".
The frequency bands (Bands) that EVA-L09 supports for mobile communication are as follows. The maximum communication speed of LTE is 262.5 Mbps for downlink (supporting carrier aggregation) and 50 Mbps for uplink (both theoretical values), and it is not compatible with au (KDDI and Okinawa cellular phone) networks.
Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n (5GHz band, 2.4GHz band)/ac. The external connection terminal uses USB Type-C, so you don't have to worry about the front and back of the connector. The back is equipped with a fingerprint authentication sensor that can be authenticated in any direction of 360 degrees.
The P9 lite is the successor to the "P8 lite", which is based on the P9 and has some specs reduced. In Japan, the model "VNS-L22" will be sold in three colors: black, white and gold.
P9 lite (black)P9 lite (white)P9 lite (gold)The processor is HiSilicon's "HUAWEI Kirin 650" (CPU The part adopts 2.0GHz 4 core + 1.7GHz 4 core), and the external storage supports microSDXC of up to 128GB. The display is equipped with a 5.2-inch full HD (1080 x 1920 pixels) liquid crystal. The out-camera is a 13-megapixel single camera, but the in-camera is equipped with the same 8-megapixel sensor as the P9.
The battery has a capacity of 3000mAh and cannot be replaced by the user. Continuous standby time is about 610 hours on the LTE network, about 630 hours on the W-CDMA network, about 600 hours on the GSM network, and continuous talk time is about 18.9 hours when using W-CDMA and about 31.5 hours when using GSM. (Both times are according to the manufacturer).
The OS is Android 6.0, combined with Huawei's unique user interface "Emotion UI 4.1".
The frequency bands that VNS-L22 supports for mobile communication are as follows. The maximum communication speed of LTE is 150 Mbps for downlink and 50 Mbps for uplink (both theoretical values), and it is not compatible with au's network.
The SIM card has a "dual SIM" configuration that allows two Nano-sized cards to be installed, but one of the slots is exclusive to the microSD. Does not support NFC.
Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHz band). It does not support wireless LAN in the 5 GHz band. The external connection terminal uses Micro USB. The back is equipped with a fingerprint authentication sensor that can be authenticated in any direction of 360 degrees.
