It doesn't look like this teaser is directly related to the P9, though. Huawei has been actively looking to compete with Samsung in this capacity, having reportedly approached Wacom -- the firm behind the famous S Pen. Huawei didn't apparently manage to strike a deal, but has clearly found another partner, and a business-centric, stylus-equipped device looks to be on the cards.

Unfortunately for Android fans, the first beneficiary seems more likely to be Huawei's MateBook, a rumored Windows 10 notebook-tablet hybrid. There's certainly hope that smartphone / phablet with a stylus could manifest itself in the near future, but perhaps Huawei wants to take things slowly and ensure that its fledgling tech is up to competing with the well-developed S Pen.
The P9, meanwhile, could be released in March, and may feature a dual camera set-up on the back. There's still time for more leaks before next week's big gathering, though the lack of any substantial information doesn't bode well for the prospect of a Huawei hero phone before the month's end.
Indeed, Evan Blass believes that the P9 won't be announced until a few weeks after MWC, though given Huawei's major presence at the event, there's definitely the possibility of a surprise.
