By the middle of this month Huawei’s new camera-centric flagship smartphone line will be available to Philippine consumers, the P9 series. In cooperation with legendary camera & lens manufacturer Leica, they’ve implemented a dual-sensor/lens system on their standard P9 & P9 Plus devices to provide better photographic freedom – plus a monochrome choice for consumers who like the aesthetic and contrast rendition of a Black & White sensor. All three phones pack large Full HD displays; metal bodies with fingerprint sensors; 3,000+mAh Batteries; and running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The best part? They don’t even cost as much as other brands. Check out our quick look on these devices on our video above and more of the specs and an awesome discount promo below!

As you can see from the spec sheets above, the P9 will be priced at PHP 23,990; P9 Plus at PHP 29,990; and a trimmed down P9 Lite will be priced at PHP 12,490. Pretty decent prices if you ask us, but there’s more. Huawei Philippines has 20% off discount promo for people who take part in their “trade-in” program at their Huawei flagship store in Mall of Asia on June 11-12, 2016. The mechanics are simple enough: bring your old film or digital camera, be part of the first 200 buyers of the P9/P9 Plus, and you’ll get 20% off and PHP 6,000 worth of freebies. That brings the prices down to PHP 19,190 & PHP 23,990 respectively – a pretty good deal in our opinion.

If you’re not feeling up for the trade-in though, don’t worry because you can still get the Huawei P9 series on June 15 when they become available nationwide. Check them out and you might find the inner photographer in you!
