The Huawei P9, tipped to feature a fingerprint sensor and 5.2-inch display, could be on sale in less than six months, one source suggests.

A report arriving courtesy ofMobile-Dadclaims that Huawei intends to launch the P9smartphone in March 2016, almost a year after the premium-feeling P8 made its way onto the market.

Discussing specs, the mobile tech website says the Huawei P9,codenamed IP03, will arrive with a 5.2-inch display, this time boasting a ‘curved design’. The report notes that the resolution of the screen remains a mystery, although the gadget is apparently powered by Huawei’s own octa-core Kirin 950 processor.

A fingerprint sensor is simply mentioned as a ‘possibility’.Under the hood of the P9 will be 4GB of RAM, addsMobile-Dad, along with a dual rear-facing camera sporting laser auto focus technology. Back in October, one Twitter user claimed to share animage suggesting Huawei’s P9 would rock a dual rear camera.

Just last month, aWeibo sourcealso shared some news of the Huawei P9, adding that the phone will drop equipped with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The same source leaked news of the Xiaomi Mi 5, which still remainsunder wraps.Meanwhile, there are suggestions that the P9 will be accompanied by a larger Brother,the Huawei P9 Max. Rumoured to arrive with a 6.2-inch Quad HD screen, the gadget ‘could also be introduced some time next year’.

Past benchmark tests have suggested the smartphone will offer users a 2560 x 1600 resolution screen, but this is unconfirmed.The report adds: “We don’t know if Huawei is planning to unveil it at the same time withthe 5.2-inch P9”.Source:Mobile-DadVia:Phone Arena
