As the week forward towards the end, Huawei took the opportunity to launch a new device called the Huawei G9 Plus in China. The new handset is the sibling of the Huawei G9 Lite which also became as the Huawei P9 Lite in some countries. As we’ve said, the G9 Plus does share a relationship with the G9 Lite only bigger and bolder and comes mainly with high-end features on a mid-range package.

The device comes with a large 5.5-inch Full-HD screen with In-Cell Display feature and a fairly thin bezels laminated by a 2.5D protective glass layer. Underneath is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 SoC with 8-core processors running at 2.0GHz and Adreno 506 GPU. Supported by either 3GB/32 GB or 4GB/64GB of RAM and built-in storage combos with microSD card support of up to 128GB.

The new Huawei G9 Plus handset has been a subject of a number of leaks which purportedly includes a dual camera module at the back however the official handset unveiled this week came nowhere near from the rumors and instead opted to standard 16 Megapixel main camera sensor at the back with OIS and PDAF features. It also features 4K video recording capabilities and a myriad of imaging options to choose from for that perfect shot. As for the front, the G9 Plus is equipped with an 8 Megapixel front-facing camera but the downside of this is that it only comes with a fix-focus imaging sensor.

Feature-wise, the G9 Plus bring a number of goodies to the table and that includes a fingerprint scanner which makes the handset more secure. It supports 4G/LTE and VoLTE connectivity in addition to 3G and GSM options that makes the new handset a world phone with full support on China’s wireless networks.

Customers in China can pre-order the device starting today while the launch of the handset in the Chinese market will be on the 25th.
