It features an octa-core 2.5GHz CPU and the Mali-T880 GPU. In case you were wondering abiut the Kirin 955 SoC, it carries four Cortex-A72 cores and four Cortex-A53 cores.

The rest of the specs include 3GB of RAM and 32GB of ROM. The dual-cameras on the back of the device are both 12MP and employ Leica optics. The front-facing selfie camera weighs in at 8MP. While not included in the GFXBench info, previous leaks indicated that the P9 will be powered by a 2900mAh battery.
