Chinese handset manufacturer Huawei has confirmed an event on August 17 in India. The company is widely expected to unveil the Huawei P9 in the country. Huawei started sending event teasers to media on Monday and said, "Something exciting is coming for you on the August 17. Stay tuned for more information from Huawei."
Unfortunately, there is no word whether the Huawei P9 smartphone will be launched only or will it be accompanied by the Huawei P9 Plus.
Unveiled in April, the biggest highlight of the Huawei P9 as well as P9 Plus is the dual-lens camera which has been made in collaboration with legendary camera maker Leica. The Huawei P9 and Huawei P9 Plus sport two 12-megapixel sensors, with one capturing light in colour, and the other in monochrome. The dual lenses sport an f/2.2 aperture. Both sport 8-megapixel front-facing cameras.
We will have to wait till the India launch to know the Huawei P9′s price. But to give you some idea, the flagship smartphone was launched in international markets for $587. This translates to Rs 39,500 approximately.
