Huawei P9: On cloud nine

The P9 comes in many colours including Haze Gold, Ceramic White, Rose Gold, Prestige Gold, Titanium Grey and Mystic Silver.

Huawei’s flagship phone is an unexpected surprise.

I’M the type of person who picks the same flavour of ice-cream every time – pralines and cream – because it’s my favourite. I use a bag until it is well-worn, seams splitting at the sides, before I am forced to get a new one. I have lived in the same house for the last 16 years, and I have clothes dating back to the 1980s. Why change if you’re happy with what you’ve got, I ask? And so for the last three years I had been content using my iPhone 5. Though battered and bruised (not to mention, ghastly out of date), I never had the urge to run out – let alone queue up – for the next big thing on the mobile phone market.
