Huawei P9 review: aiming for the big boys but just missing on software

Latest flagship smartphone from Chinese manufacturer has premium build, excellent Leica camera, fast fingerprint scanner - but its EMUI software is not quite up to scratch

Huawei's latest flagship smartphone, the P9, goes toe-to-toe with the best of Samsung and Apple, while undercutting the lot.

At least that's Huawei's aim. Being the third-largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, it wants a larger slice of the high-end market. Previous efforts, including last year's P8, were decent if not standout. The P9 is a different story.
