The Huawei media invite has a caption that reads "change the way you see the world." This it is said to be about a dual camera feature with dual-LED flash and a square fingerprint scanner at the back. Leaked images suggest that the rumored Huawei P9 will have specs that include an in-house Kirin 950 system-on-chip with 3 GB of RAM, 5.2-inch Full HD 1080p display, 32 GB of in-built storage and a 3,600 mAh battery capacity. The device is also expected to come with two 12 MP cameras.

The feature-enhanced version would likely come with a larger display with 2K resolution, while the premium variant could come with 4 GB of RAM and 62 GB of in-built storage with dual-camera module. It is expected to come in five colors: Black, White, Gray, Gold and Pink.

There have been much talk about the P9, but Huawei is yet to confirm if it is really developing a new smartphone. The Chinese phone manufacturer launched three P8 variants last year.
