Huawei P9 with 4GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage space revealed in new listing

While Huawei already confirmed that it's going to announce its next flagship smartphone - the P9 - on April 6, the company didn't unveil too many details about it. Still, not long ago, we heard that the P9 would have two variants: a regular one with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage space, and a "feature-enhanced" one.

It looks like the feature-enhanced Huawei P9 recently visited AnTuTu (a benchmark tool for Android devices), leaving a list of specs behind. According to AnTuTu, this particular Huawei P9 (model number EVA-AL10) comes with 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of internal memory, and an octa-core Kirin 955 processor (instead of a Kirin 950). Other features seem to be similar to those that the regular P9 will bring, including an 8 MP front-facing camera, a dual 12 MP rear camera, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Both the regular and the higher-end P9 should sport 1080 x 1920 pixels displays. However, for now, it's not clear if the two screens have the same size (the regular P9 is supposed to be a 5.2 inch phone, but the model with 4 GB of RAM could be a bit larger).

In addition to two P9 variants, it's said that Huawei is also getting ready to release a P9 Lite (featuring a 5-inch 1080p display and a Snapdragon 650 processor), and a P9 Max (offering a 6.2-inch Quad HD screen and a Kirin 960 processor). Will all these four new Huawei handsets be announced on April 6? Well, we'll just have to wait and see.

The Huawei P9 is coming soon

These phones using the K950-955 have 1080p screens so GPU wise they will most likely perform about the same as QHD phones equipped with the SD820 or E8890, CPU wise they should be about the same. My point is there is no need for a sad face.

Right. On another not, from the looks of battery life scores, I'm still not convinced that we're all the way ready to abandon FHD in favor of QHD. These Chinese companies with their flagships are proving the merits of staying with FHD. The Pro 5, Mi 5, Mate 8, etc. each show the advantages of staying FHD in their respective SoC generations. Let's hope HTC does the same

IKR, the Mate 8 has amazing battery life for a phone with a 6in display and that is defiantly because it's FHD. Sony's latest also has FHD, Galaxy A9 pro does as well and it's said to come with a massive 5000mah battery. FHD is king, QHD just sucks up performance and battery life like a vacuum, QHD is great for tablets especially if said tablets use an SOC specifically made for tablets but I don't think it's right for phones especially phones with a screen smaller than 5.7in

I don't think it's just because of FHD. At least when Anandtech (I think?) tested out the new SoCs it showed that the Kiri series is much more power efficient than the SD and Exynos.

Yeah I saw that to, Kirin is very efficient that's for sure.

Huawei uses MP4 GPUs . That's why they always skip 2K displays in their phones . MP4 can run FHD smoothly but it will Lag in 2K . They know it well .

When you play game in a High resolution display you always needs more powerful GPU . Mali T-880 is still very powerful , even with MP4 Apple , Snapdragon chips comes with very powerful GPUs . Most SD820 chip phones come with 2K display . If so much powerful GPU was never needed then why they are using them . For smooth gaming in 2K display , it's needed .
