We know the maxim: the best camera is the one you have with you. We do not carry our cameras everywhere all the time, and when we come across something we want to capture, we reach for the only image capture device we have with us—the phone camera.
The cat is out of the bag... well, maybe not entirely, but it's definitely peeking its head out. When Huawei announced the P9 smartphone and its Leica-branded dual-cam, neither company was being very straightforward about what Leica's role actually was in designing the optics. Now we have some answers.
Huawei is making a lot of noise and some big claims about the dual cameras in their new, Leica co-engineered Huawei P9 smartphone. But will the phone live up to the hype out in the real world, in real photographers' hands? EyeEm teamed up with Huawei to find out.
It's been a little over a month since Leica promised to "reinvent" mobile photography in partnership with Chinese smartphone manufacturer Huawei, and today they're following up on that promise. The long-awaited, much-rumored, and much-leaked Huawei P9 has arrived.
Leica announced back in February that it's "reinventing" mobile photography by partnering with the Chinese smartphone giant Huawei. We soon got a glimpse of a leaked Huawei P9 phone with dual, supposedly Leica-made, cameras. Now the company has confirmed it: the upcoming Huawei P9 was created with Leica.
Leica caused quite a stir last month by jointly announcing with the Chinese smartphone company Huawei that they're partnering up to "reinvent smartphone photography."
Now, newly leaked photos of an upcoming Huawei P9 smartphone show a dual camera system that reportedly is the first to feature Leica glass.
